Go to the Van Gough Museum
- last time the line was so long we didn’t even try. So perhaps get tickets in advance!
Try magic truffles
- What are magic truffles? To my knowledge, they’re samesame as magic mushrooms – psychedelics! It’s not something to take lightly! If you have no experience with shrooms or anything, prob not a good idea unless you are with people who are pros and you guys have a plan! And as always, moderation is key! I have a friend who tried them and went to the Van Gough museum and i’m sure it’s an amazing experience:)
Nightlife!
Being one of the most visited cities in the world, Amsterdam has a vibrant nightlife! Unlimited places to drink beer, bars, and clubs.
