Visitors to Amsterdam frequent such popular attractions as the Anne Frank House or the Van Gogh Museum, but the city also has plenty of lesser-known attractions to keep tourists entertained. Below are some of Amsterdam’s underrated attractions that are well-worth visiting:
- Oude Kerk: the oldest building in Amsterdam, Oude Kerk is a medieval church located at the center of the city’s red light district. Throughout the year, the church hosts several cultural events and visitors can enjoy its adjoining garden or climb its tower to get a bird's’ eye view of the surrounding neighborhood.
- Czaar Peterstraat: this area is popular among shoppers who enjoy everything from brand outlets to vintage clothing. Czaar Peterstraat is found at the edge of the city and is home to numerous independent boutiques, including CP113, a concept store with retro clothes and NJAG (Not Just a Gift), a ceramics, jewelry, and soap shop.
- CoBrA Museum of Modern Art: perfect for art enthusiasts, the CoBrA Museum of art features the colorful works of the CoBrA group, an association of artists from Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam who got together in the 20th century. This attraction is found in a Wim Quist-designed building near central Amsterdam.
