In all places you can get some great suggestions on the New York Times’ “36 hours in <insert city name>” columns and videos. We also like Atlas Obscura and Lonely Planet.
Those Dam Boat Guys give a fun tour in Amsterdam (https://www.thosedamboatguys.com/your-tour/?gclid=CjwKCAjwm-fkBRBBEiwA966fZPJT6Ml6dFM2Emhs7TpoRtfqmQ9q9YZkFCREcN_PgB6wp6zf-BTP5xoCYQYQAvD_BwE). We really enjoyed a tour of the hidden catholic church. There were several during the Protestant Reformation and this one was the only one saved and restored. Ons Lieve Heer op Solder or Our Dear Lord in the Attic. It was fascinating. The Foodhallen is great but a bit of a hike. Also really enjoyed the apple pie at Winkel 43. Very traditional I guess. I also vote for the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum. The Frozen Fountain and Droog Galleries are cool (and free) for really interesting Dutch Design. Spend a little time watching the clocks by Maarten Baas. One’s at the Rijkuseum and there’s a really big one at the airport. Fun stuff. If you bike, get a map out to the windmills. They’re not that far. We took a bike tour that took us out to the windmills and a cheese factory where they also made wooden shoes. Fun tour on Breezers. Mike’s Bike Tours. Mike’s a very funny woman who rides in 4” heels! Copenhagen is my favorite city. Get a cinnamon roll at Meyer Bagheri (bakery). They ground their own flour. Watch for the royal guards marching through the streets when they do the changing of the guard at the palace. The Design Museum is one of the world’s best. Check out the bike bridge (Circle Bridge) designed by Olafur Elliasson. It’s beautiful. Their foodhall market is also great. They had one place called Grod totally dedicated to porridge! We had an outstanding meal at Almanak in the art deco Standard Building by the water. Their house beer was the best I’ve ever had and they have trampolines in the sidewalk outside. We also really enjoyed Leibkoeb, a cocktail bar in a 16th century apothecary building. Hard to find but well worth looking. We also got a kick out of the meatpacking district. They still pack meat there but it also houses a lot of creatives’ studios. We had a fun conversation with a fashion designer, Jenni Max (I think). IKEA’s experimental, Space10, research and design lab’s there. Mothers pizzaria was nice there, too. Kronborg Castle was really interesting. It’s where Hamlet is set. Freetown Christiania Is pretty wild. There is also a Pedersen dealer there. Take the no photography warnings seriously there. The drug dealers are very camera shy! Jens Olsen’s World Clock is incredible. Normann Copenhagen is a great furniture/design store in an old theater. Spring should be a great time to stroll through Tivoli Gardens. Saw some cool bike shops. Sogreni was the most unique. Probably forgetting as many things as I’m remembering. Have a great trip!
