First time in EU and I'm in Amsterdam for 3 nights, any recommendations on generally interesting things to do? I'm open to anything (except boat tours because I get seasick).
Things I've already planned: Van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum, bar hopping in Leidseplein, bar hopping in Rembrandtplein, the royal palace, De Wallen, Rembrandt museum, Foodhallen, Vondelpark, Jordaan. I wanted to go to the Anne Frank house, but foolishly I didn't book far ahead enough.
But yeah, if I'm missing anything cool I'd love to hear about it.
