Amsterdam Tourist Trap Tips by dlandt
Amsterdam Tourist Traps: 197 reviews and 122 photos
This isn't a tourist trap per se, but I was bored. The pictures are all there, its well run, though some of the teenagers can get loud. I thought it was more expensive than it should have been and the audio tour for my wife, in Japanese, was incomplete, plus, she had a hard time working it.
Unique Suggestions: Avoid pointing at the pictures, the iron-legged guards yell "Distance" at you.
Fun Alternatives: The naval museum is awesome.
Maybe I'm cynical, but there really didn't seem to be very much here. All there really seemed to be was a bunch of black and white photos and some recycled pictures of nazis and concentration camps.
Unique Suggestions: If you must go here, go right to the gift shop, its got a lot of good books.
Fun Alternatives: Take a canal cruise and look at it from the water.
