Van Gogh Museum Other Museums Review

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.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars

Ann Frank House Anne Frank House Review

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.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
