With all the museums and attractions the city has to offer, the different neighborhoods and trendy spots, most first-time visitors to the capital are so impressed by the city that they don&#8217;t even go beyond the canal belt and are content to stay in the hyper-center.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p1\"><span class=\"x_s1\">Amsterdam is a very pleasant city to stroll around and we loved it!

The guide was very friendly, telling us a few anecdotes about Amsterdam, and we learned a lot more about gabled houses. During this tour, snacks are provided along with a small cheese tasting. I&#8217;d recommend it if you want to discover the city in a different way, without necessarily booking the big tourist boat and falling into the clich\u00e9. We made it without any problem with a 9-month-old baby. For greater comfort and peace of mind, sit at the stern of the boat next to the captain.

LES CANAUX D'AMSTERDAM<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/activities.frame\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"fr-FR\"

justify;\"><span class=\"x_s1\">The <strong>red<\/strong> light district is a must.<\/span><span class=\"x_s1\">It&#8217;s one of Amsterdam&#8217;s most famous districts, famous for its brothels with large windows displaying prostitutes under their red lights. <\/span><span class=\"x_s1\">But it&#8217;s above all worth the detour &#8211; and this is a bit of a contradiction &#8211; for its romanticism, with its tree-lined canals offering great photo opportunities, especially at the end of the day. <\/span> <span class=\"x_s1\">But it&#8217;s clear that the neighborhood takes on a whole new look at night, when the red lights illuminate to make way for the sex market. I&#8217;d even go so far as to say that the area is very unpleasant at night and overcrowded!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s1\">At rue Singel<strong>,<\/strong> along the canals, the daily <strong>Bloemenmarket<\/strong>, the <strong>famous flower market<\/strong>.<\/span><span class=\"x_s1\">Entirely on the water, this temple to flowers offers <\/span> <span class=\"x_s1\">a wide range of seeds and flower bulbs to plant and buy, so you can revamp your garden or balcony. I didn&#8217;t find the place remarkable from the inside, as the stands were pretty similar to each other and not crazy, but I liked the view from the canals. Not far from this and on the other side of the river, near the Jewish Museum, is the <strong>Waterlooplein flea market<\/strong>, Amsterdam&#8217;s most famous tourist attraction.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s1\">Another point of interest in central Amsterdam is the <strong>Noordermarkt market<\/strong>, which takes place every Saturday.<\/span><span class=\"x_s1\">Here you&#8217;ll find local and organic food products, including of course a wide range of Dutch cheeses. <\/span><span class=\"x_s1\">It&#8217;s also a good opportunity to try a local pastry, as the Dutch are very fond of different types of pie (the famous pies). <\/span> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have a little time to spare, I also invite you to discover <strong>Mediamatic<\/strong>. <span class=\"x_s1\">Located on the banks of the Amstel river, this is a real concept worth trying out. <\/span><span class=\"x_s1\">Housed in a greenhouse complex, Mediamatic is an art center focusing on nature, biotechnology, art and science. <\/span><span class=\"x_s1\">Conferences, exhibitions and workshops are organized on this theme, and you can also visit <strong>for dinner at the restaurant serving 100% plant-based cuisine. <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"x_s1\">Reservations are essential if you hope to experience this place. <\/span> <\/p>\n<p class=\"x_p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s1\">Next to Mediamatic, on the banks of the Amstel, meet at <strong>Hannekes Boom<\/strong>. This Beer Gardens is a neighborhood landmark<\/span><span class=\"x_s1\">when you drop in for a beer at the end of the day to breathe in the atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img

Go there by bike, as they&#8217;re quite big but so much fun! <\/strong>If you&#8217;re there from May to September, you can enjoy the open-air theater, where music, theater and dance performances are staged.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"x_s1\">A little closer to Vondelpark, don&#8217;t miss a visit to the <strong>De Hallen<\/strong>.

The answer is yes, but you won&#8217;t be able to explore the city by bike. There are very few bicycle-carts with a baby seat in the front. What&#8217;s more, as the streets are paved, it&#8217;s not very pleasant for your baby to be constantly shaken about. Do as we do and take either the stroller or the baby carrier if you&#8217;re more comfortable. The city&#8217;s sidewalks are fairly narrow, so don&#8217;t forget to take a small yo-yo stroller. (the Parisian stroller) with an umbrella in case of sun or rain protection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In terms of organization, you&#8217;ll easily find diapers and potties in Amsterdam&#8217;s supermarkets. On the other hand, we had trouble finding plain yoghurts. A lot of compotes or fruit yoghurts and the choice isn&#8217;t very varied. And don&#8217;t forget to pack a small first-aid kit with the essentials, i.e. doliprane and cream for cuts in case of a fall, as we noticed that there are very few pharmacies in the city center! We&#8217;re so used to finding them on every street corner in France that we wondered where they were! The only large pharmacy we saw was in Amsterdam&#8217;s main train station.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your child needs to take naps, I strongly advise you to <strong>book a downtown hotel<\/strong> so you can make regular return trips. If this isn&#8217;t the case, you can also stay as we did, a 15-minute streetcar ride from the city center. The city is very well served by streetcar and bus, so you&#8217;ll be able to find slightly cheaper hotels. The advantage of staying in Amsterdam city center is that you can also stroll around after dark and try out more places to dine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48455 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-avec-un-bebe-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-avec-un-bebe-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-avec-un-bebe-mademoiselle-voyage-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-avec-un-bebe-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-avec-un-bebe-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-avec-un-bebe-mademoiselle-voyage-3-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_WHERE_TO_EAT_IN_AMSTERDAM_THE_BEST_ADDRESSES\"><\/span>| WHERE TO EAT IN AMSTERDAM, THE BEST ADDRESSES<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please note that all my addresses are listed directly in the <strong>Mapster application, so join me<\/strong> looking for <strong>mademoisellevoyage<\/strong> !<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve listed below the addresses I was able to try out and the ones you recommended but which I wasn&#8217;t able to try out because everything was fully booked!

We were there in April for<strong> tulip season<\/strong> and it&#8217;s a great time of year, but beware as the weather can still be unstable, i.e. rain every day. We postponed our visit because the weather was bad. We did well, because we had sunshine every day! <strong>The best time in April would be the last week and especially the last weekend to be sure of seeing the tulip fields in bloom<\/strong>! If you&#8217;re lucky enough to visit Amsterdam on a national holiday, you&#8217;ll need to embrace the festive atmosphere. Indeed, on April 27, every street, every park, every balcony and every canal is awash with orange-clad revelers for <strong>the King&#8217;s feast<\/strong> and it will be almost impossible not to take part.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In my opinion, you need at least 3 days. We were gone for 4 days and it seemed so short! You can still get a good overview if you&#8217;re well organized and book in advance! I&#8217;d say that&#8217;s the downside of Amsterdam: you have to book everything, from museums to restaurants! Everything fills up on weekdays and weekends, which is quite disconcerting! No room for improvisation, unfortunately.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_TRAIN_TO_AMSTERDAM\"><\/span>| TRAIN TO AMSTERDAM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For this trip to Amsterdam, we left for the second time with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thalys.com\/be\/fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Thalys rail company<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just 3h30 from Paris Gare du Nord, it&#8217;s easy to get to Amsterdam city center, and the train is the best way to get there quickly. In fact, Thalys serves the most beautiful North European capitals such as Brussels, Li\u00e8ge and Cologne in just 3h20 from Paris. The last time we took the Thalys, it was precisely to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/cologne-discover-christmas-markets-the-german-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>discover<\/strong> <strong>Cologne and its Christmas markets<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For this first train journey with Gabriel, I really liked the carriage we were in, which I&#8217;d recommend to you, namely the <strong>car 16, seats 83 and 84, right next to the bar car<\/strong>. The comfort of the trip was definitely not the same as a conventional seat. We were able to get up, settle down quickly at the bar, rock Gabriel in his stroller and, above all, let him nap in peace, with him in our field of vision and without disturbing anyone else! The quality of our welcome is important to Thalys, and it&#8217;s priceless because the trip seemed so easy. Meanwhile, thanks to the <strong>wifi which is offered free on board,<\/strong> work and finish all my quotes. If it&#8217;s any consolation (for those of you with little or no English), all Train Managers speak different languages, so no more communication problems!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, I&#8217;d like to emphasize the eco-responsibility of Thalys. Since January 1, 2020, <strong>all Thalys trains are powered 100% by green energy.<\/strong> It&#8217;s also the most eco-friendly mode of transport, so there&#8217;s no excuse to travel by train. Finally, as a reminder, a one-way ticket Paris-Amsterdam starts from \u20ac35 in standard class. In April, it cost around \u20ac75\/p to travel to Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48407 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-3-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48406 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-4.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-4-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-4-1440x1137.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-4-1536x1213.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-4-800x632.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48409 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-1-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1440x1031.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1536x1099.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-1-800x573.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48408 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-2.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-2-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/amsterdam-thalys-train-mademoiselle-voyage-2-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1527169336586{padding: 20px !important;background-color: #ebebeb !important;border: 1px solid #d2d2d2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don&#8217;t forget travel insurance!<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before you leave, make sure you&#8217;ve taken out travel insurance to avoid any unpleasant surprises!
