    Tourists of Amsterdam! Here's where you can take your photos of the 'I amsterdam'. Also, there's a hidden Albert Heijn at the back, across the Stedelijk Museum! Buy some wine and lay down in the grass

    Have a seat in the middle of this open park and enjoy the scenery. Walk towards the Rijksmuseum and enjoy the beautiful garden. Have a sandwich near the pool and don´t forget to make lots of pictures!

    Very touristic place yet it's peaceful. World-class museums a few meters away from each other! Buy a museumkaart and enjoy hopping between them all day long. A pub, gifts shop and Albert hijn are near

    Beautiful place but we don't see the “I am Amsterdam” anymore in this place. Still is a great place to visit and has the best museums around, especially the Van Gogh museum. Worth the visit 😀

    This square is where you will experience wonderful works of art and remarkable events. Known as the Museum Square, this is home to the world-class museums such as Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum.

    If you want to make a photo with no people in 'I AMSTERDAM', forget about, because the place is always crowded. Despite that, it's a good place to relax and take a walk.

    Best plaza in Amsterdam. Around here, you'll find all the essentials, such as the Rijkmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, Leidseplein and Vondelpark.

    To get an around feeling of amsterdam you just have to visit museumplein. And while you are there just sit at one of the cafés nearby and have a coffee + a hot waffle. Hmmm heavenly delicious

    Having spent the day bouncing from the masterpieces of Rembrandt and Vermeer in the Rijksmuseum to the sunflowers of Van Gogh, get yourself a rest by grabbing a Belgian waffle with Nutella and latte👌

    It can get really busy around the Iamsterdam sign but if you go early enough in the morning you can be in luck and get a photo without too many random tourists standing in your photo.

    Come early in the morning (7.30-8.30am) to have your picture taken at the Iamsterdam sign when there's nobody around.

    An open space that sometimes looks like a sunny meadow full of daisies, and sometimes like a shanty town full of criminals. Best of luck.

    The Rijksmuseum line is probably ridiculously long, so this is where you can take the touristy snapshots you need for your Facebook bragging.

    It's not a square of museums. I measured each side. There are more than 4 sides! I went mad and ate a potato instead.
