Looking for reccomendations of things to do in Amsterdam as a couple. Shows, tourist spots, museums. Sexy and not
Canal boat tour is good.
Ann frank museum
Walk about red light district is always a chuckle
There are art museums i cant mind, renbrand? & van gogh (spelling on them) i think they are.
Some shows are on in the red light district which, if you can get in are good fun.
There was, not sure if it’s still there, a 3D glow in the dark mini golf course. It was downstairs in a pub and a good giggle
The Sex Museum.
(If you do plan on the Ann Frank house, which is just incredible, prebook or get there insanely early to queue is my advice )
Apart from the obvious, red light district, sex museum, there are parks, the Rijksmuseum is well worth a visit.
As others have mentioned pre book if you want to see Anne Franks’ house else you will be queuing for hours.
Consider a canal boat trip with food, such as beer and a pizza.
Canal cruise. The bodyworks museum looks interesting. There are loads of museums in the city if thats your thing. Anne franks museum is amazing!
One of my friends when to a body museum there I think which was freaky weird!
We did Amsterdam last year and I have to say it was one of my favourite cities.
If you’re after something a little different, check out the A’dam Lookout. We did it and enjoyed.
Also, check out a peep show. Again did this with the OH. You go into a little both, put a few coins in the machine and find yourself face to face with a stripper. More touristy than sexy but still good fun. There’s a few in the red light district.
We didn’t do a boat tour, but wish we had.
There’s loads to do. You’ll have a great time.
It’s a few years since we’ve been, but the thing that always comes to mind when we remember Amsterdam (apart from watching a live sex show) is visiting Sauna Deco. It’s a really cool spa, and a proper one too, in that swimwear is not allowed. Neither is contact between couples (it’s not for swingers).
If you have never tried naturism but are thinking of giving it a go, we can’t think of a better way to try public nudity for the first time. You’ll love it.
Thank you everyone. Picked up a few ideas and the memo to book Anne Frank museum. Not too many regrets. Anyone tried Moulin Rouge or Casa Rosso? Mixed reviews in TA
Casa Rosso is so, so. It has been a while, but it was a live sex show on a revolving platform, when last visited.
This is one of my favourite city’s I have been more times than I can remember at one stage I was going every couple a months, depends what you won’t to do if you are planning on just floating around there is a few nice places to poter around but if you won’t to do all the tourist stuff, i recommend looking at getting an (i Amsterdam card) gives you free access to most of the museums and no queuing because you have a ticket and free public transport very cost effective way to do it, with them costing around £50 a day i think but one museum can set you back that alone! And food one of my favourite restaurants mr porters it is out of this world when it comes to steak all dry aged , but like anything in Amsterdam be prepared to pay for it
not the cheapest place in the world but as I said I use to go all the time loved it the people are amazing and the way the place just gets on with stuff no health an safety if they are working on the block paving they literally just crack on no road closed no fences you literally step over/around them
I’ve been to Cassa Rossa a few times, but not for 20 years or so. To be honest, it’s like very bad porn - two (or more) people looking very bored while having tame sex.
The Heineken experience is good fun, as is the Bols (gin) tour.
The city is generally easy enough to get around on foot, take the train in from the airport and then use trams or buses to get around. A taxi is quite expensive.
The red light district is safe and interesting. I’ve not been there in a few years now, and it’s slowly getting closed down. The Jolly Sailor bar is a must-do, but use the loo somewhere else before you go there (it may have improved since I was last there).
Vondelpark is nice to walk round (or run, if you do that kind of thing).
Food wise, I tended to eat around Leidseplein, in the streets running East/South East. There’s about three streets full of restaurants. The bar in the American Hotel is nice for a predinner cocktail.
Sex Museum is a fun time
I went to Moulin Rouge for a sex show and it was fun with some crowd participation
Walking through the red light district is fun - especially when you don’t realise you’re in there and get surprised by windows of boobies
If you’re into narcotics be sure to only buy products from ‘cafes’ and ‘smart shops’
Hire bikes and ride around
Go on a canal cruise
Human Body Museum is great if either of you are into the topic
My partner and I went to The Upside Down Museum and had a really good time - there’s a similar one called WONDR
Thanks all. We went a few weeks ago. Iam card saved us on travel alone. Sex museum was fun, some of the art museums were impressive and some just tosh. Cassa Rossa was an interesting evening, very clinical and unsexy but ticked off the bucket list. To be honest it was the one drink policy that drove us out the place, we would have stayed longer if we could have purchased more drinks. We enjoyed the north of the city and wandering around the red light area. Lovely trip
