Interesting places in Amsterdam Uym. For the day it is simply impossible to get around.
I would notice at least 100 places in which it is really worth looking.
But first of all, a person who came to Amster must visit the square of the ladies, or the Dam Square, which is 10 minutes walk from the railway station.
This is the heart of the city where "flock" all the streets where all the roads are. The area itself is small, surrounded by dozens of shops, cafes, restaurants. The area is a national monument in memory of the victims of the war.
This is a kind of meeting in Amsterdam, so about the monument you can see hundreds of tourists, resting on the approach to the monument. On the square are constantly performing street artists, musicians, magicians, flashes, holidays are held there.
Also on the ladies are the royal palace, built in the 17th century.
The palace can be visited throughout the week, except Monday, the only one, at a certain holiday, the palace is closed. Opening hours - from 12 days and up to 5 pm, in July and August, the Palace invites tourists from 11 am. A ticket for adults costs € 7.5, for children from 5 to 16 years old, as well as students and individuals, over 65 years old, 6.5, children under 5 years old entrance is free. From the inside the palace with its 17 halls is striking luxury and greatness.
In the palace, tourists have the opportunity to order an individual excursion for € 60. And you can take free audiogide, however, in Russian, it is not provided, but, for those who understand English, German, Italian, French or Spanish, it will become a way out.
Nearby is the Church of Nyuvekerk, also an interesting place.
The church can be visited daily 10:00 to 18:00, the ticket costs € 10.00.
Well, the last thing you can look at Square - Madame Tussao Museum.
The museum contains about 40 wax figures: world stars, politicians, and many others.
Initially! The museum works daily from 10 am to 17.30. The ticket costs € 22 and € 18. You can buy tickets online and save € 2. By the way, buying tickets online, you can not specify the visit date: Tickets will be effective until the end of the year. After 15:00 tickets are cheap: adult - € 18, children's - € 13. By the way, you can buy a combined ticket and at the same time together with Madame Tussao go to the Amsterdam dungeon attraction, or Dungeon.
A sort of horror room that shows the heartbreaking moments from the life of an old Amsterdam.
For example, both visits will rise to an adult to € 30 (and not € 43.00). You can order tickets to museums here: http://www.madametussauds.com/amsterdam/en/
By the way, if you intend to visit not one museum, it will be advisable to purchase a single input ticket Iamsterdam Card or Hollandpass (and second, in my opinion, better).
Buying a card allows you to significantly save on visiting museums and galleries Amsterdam (as well as other cities of the country) Plus on this map you can move around the city by public transport. You can buy a map here: http://www.hollandpass.com/
