Amsterdam - 10 Things You Need To Know

[Jimlead]

I am not a pothead and I hate drugs and alcohol. I have a serious issue about all these harmful things. Can I be in Amsterdam without having any issue ? Because the last time I was in Amsterdam, all the smoke of the coffeshops was present in the streets and made me dizzy. I hate pot, can I spend some time in Amsterdam even so ?

[carlshatred]

@Jimlead Easy fix to your problems bud, grow some fucking balls.

[Jimlead]

@carlshatred Balls can grow. Money can't!

[210482fmj]

AMsterdam is cool but maybe a tad over rated. 

[MrSound08]

Locking down in 2013 better get there soon!!

[xaxie1]

@MrSound08

Their changing the laws now :D

[suckityoudongo]

@xaxie1 they say that every year but weed brings so many tourists to amsterdam, it would be a ghost town without the tourists going there to get high. they will NOT stop selling weed in the coffeeshops, far too much money gets brought into holland for it to happen.

[xaxie1]

@suckityoudongo

No I was saying they are changings the laws to keep Cannabis haha

[laladieladada]

@xaxie1

the dutch government is changing the marijuana laws for the last 20 year.

the set of laws has so many holes in it that it will never work good.

(untill this legalise marijuana growth)

the only reason why the government is doing this anti-tourist sales law. is because the countrys around holland do not want us to sell it. so we have to act like we try to stop that but in reality it's all just a show. we don't want to stop selling to tourists.

[MsDDiddy]

@suckityoudongo your comment just restored my faith in amsterdam.....not that i'm a pothead or anything.

[2konjur]

your music sucks

[tehphjeer]

[checkthemick]

[Howieism1]

I just read a comment on here saying amsterdam isn't great for lesbians. is that true? lol

[FailAtGame]

[Thebassjunk]

@FailAtGame Nog nooit van dat woord gehoord?

[FailAtGame]

@Thebassjunk

ik vind Amsterdam niet bepaald pittoresk, jij weld an? 

[Thebassjunk]

@FailAtGame Veel delen van Amsterdam vind ik aardig pittoresk ja.

[LeontheKiller11]

2:53 that woman tripping out lol; :D

[acacius001]

Yeahh I live behind the Van Gogh museum. I want to move to London. I like amsterdam allot, i mean i came to live here. But i want to experience also a massive city like London. It would be nice I think :).

[MultiSteini]

[killer29wayz]

Pimp of da sea

[IeneMieneMutte10]

Dear Tourist, one major advice on renting a bike: Please rent a bike WITH logo. For your own safety and ours. If we see (either on bike or in car) that you are a tourist, we can and will take that into account and ride more safely around you.

To master your way on a bike through downtown Amsterdam takes some experience. Thanks! See ya soon ;D

[crazytattoofreak]

@IeneMieneMutte10 yeah take bike with logo so we can see who we must rob!!

[toguhx]

@IeneMieneMutte10 yes thank you... Im from Brazil and you guys are the best... viva nederland!!!! one love!!!! respect!!!!

[Bluntblowin27]

I live in the US and i definitely wanna go to the redlight district before i die :P it would be nice to be able to smoke and not have to worry about cops

[MasterTooc]

Love it...

[gaae2000]

to me the best of Amsterdam are the bars and the Red Light District.

[62rome]

cool sign me up.

[Thelittlestarful]

Born and raised up in amsterdam! never wanna leave

[AfroDutchBeauty]

Grazy i live in the Netherlands and never even go to Amsterdam. Youre video makes me wanna go. This saturday, cant wait..

[sommid]

The best thing from Amsterdam is the last train to Rotterdam...

[1995yuda]

I ABSOLUTLY LOVE THIS VIDEO............ITS FUN,LIGHT,AND TO THE POINT

CAN'T WAIT TO GO THER.

[urolokiplanet]

I like Amsterdam ;)

[katheryntheotokatou]

I love Amsterdam!!!! I just love it!!! I want to live there!!! I stayed 10 days and I can't forget about it!!! The coolest city I've ever been to!! <3

[waldomarek]

i'm happy to live in this great city :)

[malunamaba]

Amsterdam is very boring for Lesbians . Not even one Bar only for woman exist in Amsterdam. But of course there are a lot of gay Bars for men . Also to much sexism in this country.

[deffe3]

@malunamaba Haha to much sexism? The Netherlands is a very traditional country. That tourists made Amsterdam a place to smoke weed and have sex with woman, doesn't mean that the whole of The Netherlands is like this! 

[JBH123ful]

@deffe3 lol no just the best parts

[Martin280967]

Amsterdam, it WAS my city.

[weeardguy]

Great video... but please, do something about the audio: the background music is just a bit to loud to understand clearly what you're saying... Muting it a bit when you start to speak would be a good idea.

Maybe another good idea is to place the names of the streets you mention in the video: I understand what you're saying as I'm Dutch myself, but especially the streets at 3:20-3:23 are probably quite hard to understand for foreigners...

[scogs103]

I loved amsterdam when i went there. I'm off there again when my uni set a long weekend up :P

[eireagusalbion]

@midasRK ;P I ment it in a funny way. I went there recently, was nice place =).

[FinMilkku]

make one of Helsinki? ;). BTW nice videos :D

[geitmetsik]

im from amsterdam and i love how you presented my city! really positive!

but everybody smokes weed or hash ;p and EVERYBODY speaks english, and good... i have a lot of trouble when i go to france or spain that those people can't speak english..

[geitmetsik]

im from amsterdam and i love how you presented my city! really positive!

but everybody smokes weed or hash ;p and EVERYBODY speaks english, and good... i have a lot of trouble when i go to france or spain that those people can't speak english..

[arra009]

What a faggot, im from Amsterdam, all tourist smoked some weed, hes just a fucking big fuck fat faggot !!!

[210482fmj]

im not being negative but amsterdam really isn't that great

[vincenthakeboom96]

@210482fmj and ur not great.. ur the opposite

amsterdam is cool!!

[210482fmj]

@vincenthakeboom96 you have never even met me before.  So you are talking shit

[ReadeRomke]

@ProuDToBeDucth, dollars? You can better give the strong Euro!

[sevenender]

thx for this vid!

[xXGreyWolf]

Im going to amsterdam for a week with my friends in November. Could anyone recommend how many euros to bring with me? Thanks:)

[Johnnygogone]

@xXGreyWolf 150 euro per day min

[stoeltjes]

@xXGreyWolf 7x150= 1050 minimal but my tactic is, if the price of the trip itself and your stay is 2000 (i dont know how much it is) bring 2000 along its easy and you have money for some extra stuff

[ReadeRomke]

@xXGreyWolf, there are atm machines everywhere!

[ReadeRomke]

@xXGreyWolf, but why amsterdam? There are much better cities to visit in the Netherlands such as: Delft, Leiden, Leeuwarden (and the other Frisian cities in the North (Friesland), Maastricht (love this city in the south of Limburg!).

[xXGreyWolf]

@xXGreyWolf hmm, well, im going in november so why do you think im going?

[dutch4340]

hey i'm from the netherlands and i think it's great that there are so many non-dutch people in our country it's brings just so many culture

[xXGreyWolf]

@dutch4340 You have such a great country!

[dutch4340]

@xXGreyWolf thank you it's realy fun to live here maybe you can vitsit if you havent visit yet

sorry if I've spelled something wrong :)

[Gyroglle]

Very good video. My only fear is that if people will start asking directions to the locations shown in this video, they won't be understood very well. I know Dutch is hard, but 'erst von durr helstret' doesn't sound anything like 'eerste van der helststraat' :P

[TimAppelsap]

I'm A dutch boy but yeah Amsterdam is full with Imiigrants.

I'm becoming nuts thanks to it.

I'm not a rascist but that guys take the minds of girls over here in The Netherlands.

[BoomByxx777]

Obviously you can tell who are the Americans are in this video. Look at all the fat people!

[rensjekent]

@BoomByxx777

We aren't the ones that eat 3 hamburgers per week...

[crazytattoofreak]

@BoomByxx777 to much americans!

[kirchy90]

scheiß Idiot !!!!!

[JungleBorys]

isn't Haag the capital of Holland ?

[OlderG0ds]

@JungleBorys Amsterdam is the capital of Netherlands.

[edwin1697]

I live and love in amsterdam. The only thing that really annoys me are those ugly Brits going on a hen party to amsterdam. FUCK OFF and stay on your inbread island!

[MegaPitbull12]

@edwin1697 ,,im abrit i go to amsterdam every year and never up set anyone so please dont treat us all the same ,,lolfancy meeting up in september

[geitmetsik]

@MegaPitbull12 hi im from amsterdam and i actually love the tourists! yes, we do have some racists and people who hate the tourists but just ignore them. you have pricks all over the world.

[niclad07]

i'm so pumped i just booked with you guys at durtynellys for amsterdam :)

[eireagusalbion]

What a stupid dickhead, he didnt even go smoke a joint.

[MidasRK]

@eireagusalbion your a stupid dickhead by thinking everybody should smoke weed who goes to amsterdam.... now I live near amsterdam and not everybody is high all day here idiot...

[FinMilkku]

@MidasRK it was a joke, take it easy dude...

[MidasRK]

@FinMilkku Lol, sorry man, I cant smell sarcasm from some words on youtube...

I will excuse myself ;p

[kokosnoot100]

@eireagusalbion the point was to show that amsterdam is more then its coffeeshops and read light district... thanks for taking us back to the "amsterdam is all about weed"

[2ndKingDavid]

Dear HW!

Why don't you make a video of Budapest! That's Europe's most enchanting city! Indeed! Breathtaking!!!

[cullyvan]

Sorry , i meant "Kröller-Müller" .

Amsterdam all looks the fucking same.

[cullyvan]

Amsterdam isnt one of the best cities in the world, its the Blackpool of Europe for Brits. If you are watching this thinking of going on Holiday there, give it a day or two for the museums, then head to Delft or Leuven , truly nice (especially Delft) and managable dutch cities. Kruger-Moeller museum in the west of the Netherlands is a well kept secret FULL of Van Goghs.

Amsterdam is only worth a day or two. trust me.

[gijz321]

@cullyvan No it isn't.... you've clearly not been in the right places..

[cullyvan]

@gijz321 lived there for three years jongen.

[gijz321]

@cullyvan then it's extra sad, you've been to the wrong places for 3 years.. :(

[cullyvan]

@gijz321 :) Im sure its fijn. Sorry.

[gijz321]

@cullyvan I appreciate and accept your appologies mate!

tnx

[cullyvan]

@gijz321 Have a goed weekend :)

[gijz321]

@cullyvan yehh you to man, and come to see Amsterdam some time again, it's a great and beautifull city! :D

bye

[kevthacozo]

thanx mate

[Agrarlitan]

@kevthacozo bab bab ehhh babababab

[wsayerscol]

Porque no hacen un video de Lima, Santiago de Chile o Buenos Aires?

[SeverityOne]

Used to live there for three years. Very cool place, except for those tourists that don't know a pavement from a bicycle path. Not fun if you're approaching at breakneck speed and someone decided to step in front of you.

[ShuffleIreland]

whats the name of the song @ 0:18 ?

[erickooy]

Islamsterdam

[thelookout782]

Now i know the man that has the best job in the world! Great videos!

[TheSlicedOnion]

[16surfside]

I could'nt understand some of what he said. 

[AndreyPurtov]

@16surfside , me too...

[Mientje00]

What in the hell is he saying hahhaha? His pronounciation is not that great, even the streetnames dont make sense, AND I LIVE THERE.

[MrDionysos23]

was there today.

[shodycareman]

Great video, your Dutch pronunciation is fantastic!

[shweetfilo]

i'm going amsterdam next week ! thanks for the help

:)

[Kiwicrasherz]

@shweetfilo it has its good sides, and its bad sides. (do not go into the canals cause it looks fine but its really nasty in there)

[PragueCentralHostels]

Great video, Colm! All important mentioned.

[Amsterdam6623]

ErrodeDescartes3 , sorry to hear about your encounter. But obviously you have never been to Detroit. My wife and I have been going to Amsterdam for 20 yrs and neither her nor I would ever worry about walking the streets alone.

Why don't you give it one more try. I think you'll have a better time.

[ErrodeDescartes3]

The 11th thing you should know about amsterdam is that the policemen doesn´t do it nothing about the drugaddicts. I couldn´t believed when they told that couldn´t do it nothing about them because they bring money for the city. Two drugaddicts spank me at street, as I noticed for the police report. Amsterdam is the damnest dangerous place in the world. Certainly never come back to this damned drugaddiction place!

[Kiwicrasherz]

@ErrodeDescartes3 well both good and wrong. they bring tourism here but only pot is allowed. cocaine and heroine are forbidden but are still used. amsterdam isnt a really good model of holland cause it is showing a fake imagination of holland. try rotterdam and the rest of the country. that is really worthwile and totally different then amsterdam.

[Yeppi1]

Jaa Amsterdam!

Onze Amsterdam <3

[bgrunberg]

Great video of Madretsma. Thanks for sharing.

[Eslii]

Haha, awesome! (:

[StargateAmsterdam]

We recommend renting a bike with logo.
