5 Amsterdam Hidden Gems

You'll get a whole different experience from other touristic sights in Amsterdam.

There’s not a website where Amsterdam is not portrayed as a unique destination. This colorful, vibrant and young city, still feels as if the past continues to influence its picturesque overview in general. Much of this city is commonly known from mainstream advisors on the Internet, but there are some not-well-known places in this town. Start adding these hidden gems to your upcoming trip to Amsterdam!

Here it is, a list of alternatives not everyone knows about when visiting this Metropolis:

Schellingwouderpark

Near the end of Nieuwendammerdjk in Amsterdam Noord, there’s a park not yet known by tourists (and locals included). This is a city park opened in January 2010 and is approximately 10 hectares long. If you seek for some solitude and relaxation (or just want to escape from the typical), this is definitely your choice.

Waterlooplein

This is the oldest flea market in Amsterdam. Here you can find anything, from antiques to unusual knick-knacks, with over 300 stalls on any given day. This market tends to get a good amount of customers, but it’s a good place to check for tourists.

Condomerie

The Condomerie is indeed one of the most peculiar shops you’ll visit in Amsterdam, and the reason is simple: This store is marketed as the world’s first condom specialty shop. You can find all sorts of condoms from different flavors to sizes and style. If you want to visit, you’ll be able to find it in the Red Light District. This is more of a funny, unusual visit for the record.

Vondelbunker

There can’t be any more secrecy than this underground bunker has. If you’re passing through Vondelpark be sure to check under a bridge, there you’ll find the Vondelbunker. What’s so great about this place is that it hosts activities and events from different types. There are several bomb shelters around Amsterdam, but this is one you should visit.

Kattenkabinet

Imagine there was a museum made just for the worshipping of cats… Say no more! Kattenkabinet is a place with many paintings and drawings that feature these little felines. This unique museum is located inside a 17th-century house, all you have to do is look for number 497 and a black cat on top of the entrance.

Amsterdam is often considered the Venice of the North, and the name serves it right because of the high demand of touring the city has. Just make sure you don’t let these exotic places off your list when visiting.
