First day, the fun one:

After breakfast head to The Upside Down to have one of the most interactive experience in a museum; it is the largest interactive museum in Europe, definetely worth a visit!

After this walk thorugh the city till Rembrandtplein, where you will find a statue of the famous Dutch painter Rembrandt. Then head to the Bloenmarkt to (why not?) get some tulips.

Lunch suggestions: Fable fries and a sweet dessert at Stroopewafels.

In the afternoon, get a walk around Bejinhof, 9 straatjes, Dam Square and the Old Church in the very city centre.

In the early evening, go have an unforgettable experience at AMAZE Amsterdam, to get a full-body-mind experience.

Heanding back more near to the city centre, stop by Libertine Cafè to have an elegant-vibe dinner. And then, if you're in the mood, spend the night dancing in a disco or chatting in a bar!

Second day, the cultural one:

Have breakfast in a vibey café, De Koffieschenkerij, where you can taste the Dutch apple pie, just delicious!

Then head to the Museumplein, where you will spend nearly the rest of the day! Visit the Van Gogh Museum, Moco Museum and/or Rijksmuseum and get to know all the beautiful paintings and pieces of art that are exhibited there.

If you're not a museum type, 15 minutes away there's the Heineken Experience!

You can have lunch at a fancy-vibes restaurant-café, Blushing, that is situated near there.

In the  late afternoon, you can lost yourself walking around Jordaan, a very nice neighborhood, and stop by the Anne Frank House and think for a minute about the atrocity of the Second World War.

Now it's dinner time! Go stop by The Seafood Bar, if you're a fish lover, or give The Burger Room a try!

In the evening, walk around the Red Light District, but only if you're in a festy mood; instead, if you're quite tired, good night my dear because tomorrow won't be less full!

Third day, the cute one:

Good morning! It's time to grab a coffee and a croissant at Selma's and start our (sadly) last day of trotting around The Netherlands' capital city.

During your morning, find a boat tour that's suitable for your needs. You can find some options on Getyourguide. A tour around Amsterdam's canals is the perfect way to end this (hopefully) fantastic trip in the city.

Now, take the public transportation to Food Hallen, where you'll find lots of options to have lunch. After eating, have a walk around Oud-West and then go back near the city centre and stop by Tony's Chocolonely Superstore to have your customized chocolate table (remember it will take some time to make).
