Best Amsterdam quotes

Amsterdam Canals, The Netherlands.

“When you mention you’ll be making a stopover in Amsterdam, you get a reaction I can only describe as semi-collegiate. A knowing look … as if there can really only be 2 reasons you’d go to this lovely little city of canals.” Anthony Bourdain

“Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth, it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.” John Green

“Amsterdam was a great surprise to me. I had always thought of Venice as the city of canals; it had never entered my mind that I should find similar conditions in a Dutch town.” James Weldon Johnson

“I think Amsterdam is to Holland what New York is to America in a sense. It’s a metropolis, so it’s representative of Holland, but only a part of it – you know, it’s more extreme, there’s more happening, it’s more liberal and more daring than the countryside in Holland is.” Anton Corbijn

"Amsterdam is known as a trouble-some city and the Amsterdammers are troublesome people but perhaps that's why the heart of the Netherlands is beating most strongly in Amsterdam." Geert Mak

Amsterdam is famous as the city where everyone cycles, from young to old, from rich to poor, and from hipster to average joe. That might be a slight exaggeration on the current situation but a great goal for the bicycle city of the future. Marjolein De Lange

“The Dutch life is beautifully attuned to the deliberate pace of bicycle riding. It has the same calm and slow rhythm which allows the Hollander time off for coffee in the middle of the morning, for tea in the afternoon, and tea again in the evening. . . . To a Dutchman a bicycle becomes a matter of individual expression, almost a part of the body, controlled subconsciously and leaving him free to meditation. Pete Jordan

"I'm scared of audiences. One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous, I escaped out the fire exit. I've thrown up a couple of times. Once in Brussels, I projectile vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don't like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot." Adele

“Amsterdam lives and breathes creativity. One moment you walk into a building from the 17th century and the next you find yourself in a hub of creative start-up companies.” Marcel Wanders

Amsterdam travel quotes

Streets of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

"Amsterdam’s my favourite place to visit." Bianca Del Rio

“In Amsterdam, I took a room in a small hotel located in the Jordann District and after lunch in a café went for a walk in the western parts of the city. In Flaubert’s Alexandria, the exotic had collected around camels, Arabs peacefully fishing and guttural cries. Modern Amsterdam provided different but analogous examples: buildings with elongated pale-pink bricks stuck together with curiously white mortar, long rows of narrow apartment blocks from the early twentieth century, with large ground-floor windows, bicycles parked outside every house, street furniture displaying a certain demographic scruffiness, an absence of ostentatious buildings, straight streets interspersed with small parks…..In one street lines with uniform apartment buildings, I stopped by a red front door and felt an intense longing to spend the rest of my life there. Alain De Botton (The art of travel)

"I love Amsterdam. The city is vibrant and alive. It’s fresh and so open. It’s definitely one of my favorite places." Stefon Harris

“Without someone to talk to, every sight I saw—whether it was the Trevi Fountain or a canal in Amsterdam—felt simply like a name on a list that I needed to check off.” Jojo Moyes (After you)

“You could spend your time with your nose buried in a guidebook, but Amsterdam really is best explored on foot, so you can stumble upon the city’s hidden gems. The architecture and the beauty of some of the buildings is also wonderful.” Gregory Porter

“In Amsterdam, the bike…crappy old bikes actually…are the kings of the road. Even cars fear them. You better look both ways.” Anthony Bourdain

"Amsterdam has more than 150 canals and 1,250 bridges, but it never seems crowded, nor bent and bitter from fleecing the tourist." Julie Burchill

“I dropped my pants in a tattoo parlour in Amsterdam. I woke up in a waterbed with this funky-looking dragon with a blue tongue on my hip. I realized I made a mistake, so a few months later I got a cross to cover it. When my pants hang low, it looks like I’m wearing a dagger!” Angelina Jolie

“The historical center of Amsterdam. Home to the royal palace, tourists and…very strange people.” Anthony Bourdain

“Amsterdam is a breeding ground for new creative pursuits in many areas fuelled by a tolerance and openness to ideas unlike any other city I’ve been to. There is something for everyone here, especially when you dare to go off the beaten path.” Marcel Wanders

“The thing that first knocked me out about Amsterdam, even on the coldest, greyest February day, was its beauty. The houses rise, red and grey, and seem to float swanlike above the canals. The sheen on the water is olive-green, and mallards with their brilliant emerald heads slide gravely under the bridges. if you close your eyes you can see the city peopled again by those who built it - seventeenth century burghers in their black coats, rich from trading with the Indies.” Jilly Cooper (Jolly Superlative)

“I can be a bit nerdy so I need a good, clearly marked map, as you can miss out on some of the coolest places in Amsterdam if you don’t have a wander down the little side streets.” Gregory Porter

“San Francisco is a lot like Amsterdam – free, open-minded and casual – though I expected better weather.” Marcel Wanders

“Amsterdam: city of tolerance…though, chances are your louder drinkers are from elsewhere and not all Amsterdammers, by any means, are smoking indo. Many, if not most, of the people taking a plastic, fantastic joyride to the center of your mind on the barstools of coffee shops are tourists. It’s a legal novelty, and one way to kick back on a layover… not that I would ever, ever do such a thing.” Anthony Bourdain

"Most visitors to Amsterdam will wander into the red-light district out of sheer curiosity. The narrow streets are mostly safe day and night – just don’t try to take pictures of the women working in the windows." David Hewson

“My experience in Amsterdam is that cyclists ride where the hell they like and aim in a state of rage at all pedestrians while ringing their bell loudly, the concept of avoiding people being foreign to them.” Terry Pratchett

“Amsterdam. It is so cute and quaint. I rode bicycles around the city and through the tiny little streets, rented a paddleboat and had a picnic lunch on the canals.” Bridget Marquardt

“I had been to Amsterdam a couple of times with Eric; we loved the museums and the Concertgebouw (it was here that I first heard Benjamin Britten’s Peter Grimes, in Dutch). We loved the canals lined with tall, stepped houses; the old Hortus Botanicus and the beautiful seventeenth-century Portuguese synagogue; the Rembrandtplein with its open-air cafés; the fresh herrings sold in the streets and eaten on the spot; and the general atmosphere of cordiality and openness which seemed peculiar to the city.” Oliver Sacks (On the Move: A Life)

Amsterdam quotes about WW II

Anne Frank, Madame Tussauds, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

I really wanted to include a few quotes on Amsterdam about World War II in this post. Many people visit the Anne Frank Museum while they are in Amsterdam. It’s important to learn about these things and remember these events so history won’t repeat itself.

There are also some great tours in Amsterdam covering the story of Anne Frank and some World War II events.

"None inspires and challenges me more than the verzetsmuseum in Amsterdam, even after many visits, so I encourage anyone with a real interest in this subject to go there first. " Mary Dingee Fillmore

“But I looked out of the open window too, over a large area of Amsterdam, over all the roofs and on to the horizon, which was such a pale blue that it was hard to see the dividing line. "As long as this exists," I thought, "and I may live to see it, this sunshine, the cloudless skies, while this lasts, I cannot be unhappy.” Anne Frank

“I have always lived in Amsterdam. During the war, we inhabited the Rivieren neighbourhood where many Jews lived at the time. Our downstairs neighbours were Jews, and there were also Jews a few houses from us. We saw how they were rounded up and taken away. That made a very great impression on me.” Els Borst

"In de mid-1960's, Amsterdam became a typical youth city. The post-war generation wanted to live on their own, in the heart of the city. Woman's emancipation and the contraceptive pill allowed them to delay starting a family and thus a group of older youth developed, for whom the open spaces of the city became a second home." Geert Mak (Amsterdam: a brief life of the city)

“The Annex is an ideal place to hide in. It may be damp and lopsided, but there’s probably not a more comfortable hiding place in all of Amsterdam. No, in all of Holland.” Anne Frank

Famous quotes about Amsterdam from writers

Thre are lots of birds, especially pigeons, in Amsterdam.

“And if Amsterdam was hell, and if hell was a memory, then he realized that perhaps there was some purpose to his being lost. Cut off from everything that was familiar to him, unable to discover even a single point of reference, he saw that his steps, by taking him nowhere, were taking him him nowhere but into himself. He was wandering inside himself, and he was lost. Far from troubling him, this state of being lost because a source of happiness, of exhilaration. He breathed it into his very bones. As if on the brink of some previously hidden knowledge, he breathed it into his very bones and said to himself, almost triumphantly: I am lost.” Paul Auster (The Invention of Solitude)

“the smell of canals and cigarette smoke, all the people sitting outside the cafés drinking beer, saying their r's and g's in a way I'd never learn. I missed the future. Obviously I knew even before this recurrence that I'd never grow old with Augustus Waters. But thinking about Lidewij and her boyfriend, I felt robbed. I would probably never again see the ocean from thirty thousand feet above, so far up you can't make out the waves or any boats, so that the ocean is a great and endless monolith. I could imagine it. I could remember it. But I couldn't see it again, and it occurred to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again. That is probably true even if you live to be ninety.” John Green (The Fault in Our Stars)

“It was Begbie who ensured he could never return. He had done what he wanted to do. He could now never go back to Leith, to Edinburgh, even to Scotland, ever again. There, he could not be anything other than he was. Now, free from them all, for good, he could be what he wanted to be. He'd stand or fall alone. This thought both terrified and excited him as he contemplated life in Amsterdam.” Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting)

“What the world thought made little difference. Rembrandt had to paint. Whether he painted well or badly didn't matter; painting was the stuff that held him together as a man. The chief value of art, Vincent, lies in the expression it gives to the artist. Rembrandt fulfilled what he knew to be his life purpose; that justified him. Even if his work had been worthless, he would have been a thousand times more successful than if he had put down his desire and become the richest merchant in Amsterdam." Irving Stone (Lust for Life)

“I’d asked the same question a few years earlier in Amsterdam and learned that in the Netherlands you’re more apt to bring a disease into it. “Like if someone drives in a crazy way, it’s normal to call them a cholera sufferer,” a Dutch woman told me. “Either that or a cancer whore.” David Sedaris (Calypso)

“Early the next morning, they were on a tram out to the far edge of Amsterdam. Ginny liked the tram. It was like an overgrown toy train that had gotten loose on the streets. She looked out and saw the Netherlands wobbling by - its ancient houses and constant canals and people in practical shoes.” Maureen Johnson (13 Little Blue Envelopes)

“Look, it is snowing! Oh, I must go out! Amsterdam asleep in the white night, the dark jade canals under the little snow-covered bridges, the empty streets, my muted steps--there will be purity, even if fleeting, before tomorrows mud. Albert Camus (The Fall)

“I’ve been in Amsterdam, I’ve been able to enjoy many aspects of cycling here. One thing I have not been able to do yet is bike with my sweetheart. But now that you’re here, I’m so excited to ride around town with you among all the thousands of other cyclists while I hold your wrist or you hold mine.” Pete Jordan (In the City of Bikes: The Story of the Amsterdam Cyclist)

“Then, with an extended, falling glissando of disgust, the whole string section, plus flutes and piccolo, surged toward the brass, leaving the music critic and his deed - an early evening frites and mayonnaise on Oude Hoogstraat - illuminated under a lonely chandelier.” Ian McEwan (Amsterdam)

As an Amsterdam resident, I love the perspective these quotes offer on our city. The weather here is often a point of debate, but it truly contributes to the unique character of Amsterdam – be it the misty mornings enhancing the beauty of our canals, or the sunny afternoons perfect for cycling around town.

John Green , the author of the best-seller The Fault in the Stars and other romantic books, describes this Dutch capital best.

‘Then came the second Amsterdam discovery, although the principle was known elsewhere. Bank deposits did not need to be left idly in the bank. They could be lent. The bank then got interested. The borrower then had a deposit that he could spend. But the original deposit still stood to the credit of the original depositor. That too could be spent. Money, spendable money, had been created. Let no one rub his or her eyes. It’s still being done every day. The creation of money by a bank is as simple as this, so simple, I’ve often said, that the mind is slightly repelled.’ – John Kenneth Galbraith

‘Jan-Peter offered to teach me the language of Amsterdam’s red light district. But after his first phrase using the back door will cost you double I withdrew my request.’ — Cristina Garcia

‘I’m not going back to Amsterdam, though it would be very comfortable there with Frank de Boer, Danny Blind, and Dennis Bergkamp.

I might occasionally visit training with them, but I will not be going regularly.’ – Edwin van der Sar

‘It was in December. I stood in the back of the tram, all the way in the back. It drove through the country and stopped and started again, it took hours, the countryside was endless. And the sky got bluer and bluer and the sun shone until it seemed like flowers would have to start sprouting out of the country bumpkins. And the red roofs in the villages and the black trees and the fields, most of them covered with straw, had it nice and warm, and the dunes sat bareheaded in the sun. And the road lay there, white and smart, it couldn’t bear the sunlight, and the glass panes of the village streetlamp flashed, they had trouble withstanding the glare too.

But I got colder and colder. And the tram ran as long as the sun shone. It’s a long ride from Hillegom to Leiden and the days are short in December. By the end, a block of ice was standing there on the tram staring into the big stupid cold sun that was flaming red as though the revolution was finally starting, as though offices were being blown up all over Amsterdam, but still it couldn’t bring a spark of life back to my cold feet and stiff legs. And it kept getting bigger and colder,red-light and I got colder and stayed the same size, and the blue sky looked down very disapprovingly: What are you doing on that tram?’ ― Nescio

‘Prostitution is not exactly a reputable business over there either, even though the girls actually have to pay taxes on their earnings and submit to regular health check-ups. Even the prostitutes have universal healthcare over there. The benefit of legal prostitution is obvious: tax income for the city, healthier girls, and safety. In Amsterdam, each girl has an alarm button next to her bed that she can press if one of her “customers” tries to rape or hurt her. The police will arrive within minutes and protect the girl from harm.’ ― Oliver Markus Malloy

20 Quotes about Amsterdam (that You’d Want to Steal)

by Drifter Planet | Jan 20, 2023 | Netherlands

Have I told you already how much I love Amsterdam?

Amsterdam was the highlight of my first-ever trip to Europe in 2014. I moved to Europe in 2017 and I make it a point to visit this cute city every single year (even if it is just for a weekend ).

If you search on the internet, you will find 100s of quotes about Amsterdam. Whoa!

But who has the time to read close to 2000-4000 words if one’s just looking for just short, punchy, and witty travel-related Amsterdam Instagram captions?

Quotes about Amsterdam Drifter Planet

A few days back I was looking for a super cute and quick Instagram caption for Amsterdam but I was overwhelmed by the search results.

Not just Instagram, but what if you’re writing something about Amsterdam and you want to start your post with a famous quote about Amsterdam? I don’t know about you but I definitely don’t have the patience to go through 100s of quotes.

So, if you’re in a hurry, I have shortlisted the best Amsterdam quotes for Instagram that you’d want to steal.

20 Quotes about Amsterdam for Instagram Captions

“Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth, it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.”

― John Green, Author of The Fault in Our Stars.

Yes, I started with the most famous quote about Amsterdam that’s mentioned everywhere, but I think this quote perfectly captures the essence of Amsterdam.

I have used it on my first ever blog post about Amsterdam in the opening line too because it fits the city perfectly.

“When you mention you’ll be making a stopover in Amsterdam, you get a reaction I can only describe as semi-collegiate. A knowing look … as if there can really only be 2 reasons you’d go to this lovely little city of canals. ”

― Anthony Bourdain

“It’s like the European version of Bangkok – a very high threshold for bad behavior”

― Anthony Bourdain

Having visited both Bangkok and Amsterdam multiple times, I agree with this quote one hundred percent.

“Last time I was here I slept in a park because I spent all my money of hash and hookers.”

Yes, I just shared three quotes by the same person – Anthony Bourdain. I found them very funny and relatable. Anthony Bourdain’s Amsterdam Quotes are new and not many websites share them. They are from the Layover’s Amsterdam episode .

“Amsterdam has more than 150 canals and 1,250 bridges, but it never seems crowded, nor bent and bitter from fleecing the tourist.”

― Julie Burchill

I love this quote about Amsterdam because I think Julie Burchill must have been in Jordaan for an experience like this. I personally think Jordaan is the most romantic place in Amsterdam for couples .

“Stand outside De Eland, on the Berenstraat Bridge over the Prinsengracht, and you see what real Amsterdam life is like.”

― David Hewson

“Amsterdam was a great surprise to me. I had always thought of Venice as the city of canals; it had never entered my mind that I should find similar conditions in a Dutch town.”

― James Weldon Johnson

“In Europe, I always have fun bike riding in Amsterdam.”

― Ezra Koenig

Btw, if you like riding bicycles and would like to explore Amsterdam this way, here’s my tried and tested itinerary for spending 2 days in Amsterdam with cycling map for each day.

“In Amsterdam, the river and canals have been central to city life for the last four centuries.”

― Janet Echelman

“I think Amsterdam is to Holland what New York is to America in a sense. It’s a metropolis, so it’s representative of Holland, but only a part of it – you know, it’s more extreme, there’s more happening, it’s more liberal and more daring than the countryside in Holland is.”

― Anton Corbijn

“Most visitors to Amsterdam will wander into the red-light district out of sheer curiosity. The narrow streets are mostly safe day and night – just don’t try to take pictures of the women working in the windows.”

“I don’t have a problem with saying, ‘I love you.’ I probably said it to the whole of the red-light district in Amsterdam when I was about 21. “

― Shaun Ryder

“Amsterdam lives and breathes creativity. One moment you walk into a building from the 17th century, and the next you find yourself in a hub of creative start-up companies.”

― Marcel Wanders

“Amsterdam is a breeding ground for new creative pursuits in many areas fueled by a tolerance and openness to ideas unlike any world city I’ve been to. There is something for everyone here, especially when you dare to go off the beaten path.”

“What’s special about Amsterdam is that the city is able to connect worlds that are not otherwise connected.”

“You could spend your time with your nose buried in a guidebook, but Amsterdam really is best explored on foot, so you can stumble upon the city’s hidden gems. The architecture and the beauty of some of the buildings is also wonderful.”

― Gregory Porter

“Amsterdam is such a fun, cool place, and it’s very Instagrammable with the canals and the boats and the flowers and the architecture. It’s amazing for outfit of the day shots.”

― Nikkie de Jager-Drossaers

(Yes, I say this too all the time that Amsterdam is very Instagrammable. I also published my post about Amsterdam’s top Instagram spots which you will want to bookmark for your next visit.

“Amsterdam. It is so cute and quaint. I rode bicycles around the city and through the tiny little streets, rented a paddleboat and had a picnic lunch on the canals.”

― Bridget Marquardt

“And in Amsterdam, you learn that a night out dancing is good for the soul.”

― Brendan Hunt

I agree, Amsterdam’s nightlife is one of a kind. If you are already in Amsterdam or are heading there, then you should know that I have a post about Amsterdam’s party scene on my website. Just wanted to let you know, just in case you’re interested in that kind of a thing.

“I was told David Letterman and Kaufman had heart attacks on the same day. David Letterman’s heart attack was at a hospital in NYC. Kaufman’s heart attack was at the red light district in Amsterdam. I think Kaufman had more fun.” ― Howard Stern

“The best travel tip that I ever received about exploring Amsterdam was to get the hell out of the center and explore other neighbourhoods”

― Sonal, Drifter Planet

Yep, that last quote is from me and I say it to every single first time Amsterdam visitor . I also mention it on some of my blog posts.

I was actually stuck to the centre the first time I visited but never again after that and I saw a very different and better side of Amsterdam, and it became my favorite city break.

The worst place to hang out in Amsterdam is the main centre, the Dam square and around. Ideally you would want to get a quick look here and then move on to areas like Jordaan, Noord ,

Instagram or not, I genuinely enjoy a quick look at what people have said about some famous historical destinations.

I remember when I visited New York City , I wanted to rub it on my friend’s faces but didn’t want to look like a show off at the same time, so I found a quote about the city and posted it on my Facebook Wall. (haha)

So, the next time you’re visiting Amsterdam and you want to discreetly brag about it, hope you find your perfect quote on Amsterdam on my website and post it on social media. If you do, tag me @DrifterPlanet and I’d love to share your post on my Instagram story.

5 Things to Pack for Your Trip to Amsterdam

The Lonely Planet Amsterdam guidebook. It can be kind of a pain to find the major guidebooks once you land, or you’ll find them overpriced. I always like to pick mine up ahead of time.

An Unlocked Cell Phone so that you can use a Dutch sim card while here to help navigate public transportation and when you’re on the road.

Backup Charging Bank for your cell phone since you’ll be using it as a camera, GPS system, and general travel genie.

A Camera since Amsterdam is super photogenic. I use a mix of my Nikon D810 and my Samsung8 smartphone these days.

A Great Day Bag so you can carry what you need with you (like your camera, snacks, water, sunscreen, cash, etc). My current favorite is the Pacsafe Citysafe , which is especially great for Amsterdam because it has many anti-theft features designed to deter pickpockets. It also transitions to a night bag more easily and won’t embarrass you if you go to dinner directly after sightseeing all day.

Don’t Forget About Travel Insurance!

Before you leave for Amsterdam make sure you have a valid Travel Insurance Policy because accidents happen on the road. I pay for World Nomads, and I happily recommend them. It’s especially important to get travel insurance if you’ll be hanging out in cities like Amsterdam where tourists can easily become the targets of pickpockets.

I have been a paying customer of World Nomads for travel insurance for three years, and I happily recommend them. If you get sick, injured, or have your stuff stolen, you’ll be happy to have the ability to pay for your medical bills or replace what’s stolen or broken.

✈ Best Travel Ressources To Plan Your Next Trip If you need help planning your next trip, don’t worry. I’ve got you covered! Here are my favourite websites and apps to plan a trip! ✈ How To Find Flights? My favourite website for booking flights is Skyscanner; it is a good comparator for finding the cheapest flights. Google Flight is also a good help when it comes to comparing flights. ✈ Where To Book Accommodations? The best sites to book accommodations are Booking.com or Expedia. They both allow you to collect points for a discount; it’s worth comparing the two as they often have different pricing for the same hotels. Another perk of Booking.com and Expedia is that you can sometimes get bundle deals for flights and accommodations, which can help you save a lot of money. ✈ Best Sites To Book Activities My go-to website when I need to book an activity is GetYourGuide when I can’t get a ticket directly on the website or if it’s easier to go through them. I always check if the price is the same, though, as the whole point is for it to be easier but not more expensive. You can also check out Klook if you need to book more than just activities and would like to get everything from the same website—(i.e. transport cards, car rental, hotel…). ✈ Other helpful travel resources – Radical Storage: If you need a place to keep your luggage for an extended period when you travel, I recommend using them. It was a great help when we needed a place to keep our luggage safely while we left the city for a few days. – TheTrainline : If you love to travel by train like me, then TheTrainline needs to be your go-to website for train travel in Europe. It is very reliant and easy to use. ————————————————————————————————————- Disclaimer: This resources box contains affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission if you book anything through my links at no additional cost.

“The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!” – Anne Frank

Tulip Quotes

If you are looking for some great tulip quotes to caption your instagram pictures here are some of the best!

“And it’d be very hard to make up something as strange as the Dutch tulipmania in the seventeenth century, for example. Or the mysterious case of Thomas Clapper. Or the entire civic history of Seattle, Washington.”― Stephen Briggs Terry Pratchett

“Bulls don’t read. Bears read financial history. As markets fall to bits, the bears dust off the Dutch tulip mania of 1637, the Banque Royale of 1719-20, the railway speculation of the 1840s, the great crash of 1929.” – James Buchan

“’Tulip Fever’ did change my life. It did that thing that sometimes happens when a book takes off – it opened doors on to whole other worlds.” – Deborah Moggach

“How can you be content to be in the world like tulips in a garden, to make a fine show, and be good for nothing.”- Mary Astell

“A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower. You didn’t have to struggle to make your face different than anyone else’s on earth. It just is. You are unique because you were created that way. Look at little children in kindergarten. They’re all different without trying to be. As long as they’re unselfconsciously being themselves, they can’t help but shine. It’s only later, when children are taught to compete, to strive to be better than others, that their natural light becomes distorted.”― Marianne Williamson

“Tulips were a tray of jewels.” ― E.M. Forster

“Amsterdam is not Holland. It is a city that attracts people from all over Holland. And lots of international tourists and party people.” – Eddy de Clercq

“I’m not going back to Amsterdam, though it would be very comfortable there with Frank de Boer, Danny Blind, and Dennis Bergkamp.

“Amsterdam is famous as the city where everyone cycles, from young to old, from rich to poor, and from hipster to average Joe. That might be a slight exaggeration of the current situation but a great goal for the bicycle city of the future.”- Marjolein De Lange
“I think Amsterdam is to Holland what New York is to America. It’s a metropolis, so it’s representative of Holland, but only a part of it – you know, it’s more extreme, there’s more happening, it’s more liberal and more daring than the countryside in Holland is.” — Anton Corbijn
“I have always lived in Amsterdam. During the war, we inhabited the Rivieren neighbourhood where many Jews lived at the time.

Cut off from everything that was familiar to him, unable to discover even a single point of reference, he saw that his steps, by taking him nowhere, were taking him nowhere but into himself. He was wandering inside himself, and he was lost. Far from troubling him, this state of being lost because of a source of happiness, of exhilaration. He breathed it into his very bones. As if on the brink of some previously hidden knowledge, he breathed it into his very bones and said to himself, almost triumphantly: I am lost.”- Paul Auster

Amsterdam Quotes

Amsterdam is like the rings of a tree: It gets older as you get closer to the center.

I love Amsterdam. The city is vibrant and alive. It's fresh and so open. It's definitely one of my favorite places.

Location: Amsterdam, Where Fire Is Called "Vlam

Amsterdam has more than 150 canals and 1,250 bridges, but it never seems crowded, nor bent and bitter from fleecing the tourist.

...And in freedom, most people find sin.

Amsterdam was a great surprise to me. I had always thought of Venice as the city of canals; it had never entered my mind that I should find similar conditions in a Dutch town.

In Amsterdam the water is the mistress and the land the vassal. throughout the city there are as many canals and drawbridges as bracelets on a Gypsy's bronzed arms.

But words are water in Amsterdam, they flood your ears and set the rot, and the church's east corner is crowded.

In Amsterdam, the river and canals have been central to city life for the last four centuries.

I was discovered in Paris when I was there on a school trip at the age of 13. After that, my mom came in contact with Elite Amsterdam; then I started modeling.

Amsterdam is not Holland. It is a city that attracts people from all over Holland. And lots of international tourists and party people.

In a city like London, the fact that cultures live together and cross-fertilize is a beautiful and natural thing. The many cultures in Amsterdam contribute to the city's high level of craziness - something which every interesting city should offer. But sometimes immigrants can live in parallel worlds which can exclude others and not be very attractive.

I was told David Letterman and Kaufman had heart attacks on the same day: David Letterman's heart attack was at a hospital in NYC. Kaufman's heart attack was at the red light district in Amsterdam, Holland. I think Kaufman had more fun. You're a great artist. I just love the way you painted my portrait.

Ireland is also quite nice. So is Amsterdam.

My dream holiday would be a) a ticket to Amsterdam b) immunity from prosecution and c) a baseball bat.

And call me a pig, but isn't it brilliantly refreshing how early the Dutch eat dinner? When they're still laying out the cutlery in achingly hip Barcelona, they're hanging the Closed sign on the restaurant doors of old Amsterdam.

But once we got on the air, everybody except Morey Amsterdam pretty much stuck to the script.

People always get used to beauty, though.” “I haven’t gotten used to you just yet,” he answered, smiling. I felt myself blushing. “Thank you for coming to Amsterdam,” he said. “Thank you for letting me hijack your wish,” I said. “Thank you for wearing that dress which is like whoa

Amsterdam must have more than a million people. But the only area where jazz is really profitable and successful in an economic sense is in Japan. That's because they haven't been exposed enough.

In Europe, I always have fun bike riding in Amsterdam.

Then came the second Amsterdam discovery, although the principle was known elsewhere. Bank deposits...did not need to be left idly in the bank. They could be lent. The bank then got interest. The borrower then had a deposit that he could spend. But the original deposit still stood to the credit of the original depositor. That too could be spent. Money, spendable money, had been created. Let no one rub his or her eyes. It's still being done-every day. The creation of money by a bank is as simple as this, so simple, I've often said, that the mind is slightly repelled.

The Annex is an ideal place to hide in. It may be damp and lopsided, but there's probably not a more comfortable hiding place in all of Amsterdam. No, in all of Holland.

“San Francisco is a lot like Amsterdam – free, open-minded and casual – though I expected better weather.” – Marcel Wanders
“I think Amsterdam is to Holland what New York is to America. It’s a metropolis, so it’s representative of Holland, but only a part of it – you know, it’s more extreme, there’s more happening, it’s more liberal and more daring than the countryside in Holland is.” – Anton Corbijn
“My experience in Amsterdam is that cyclists ride where the hell they like and aim in a state of rage at all pedestrians while ringing their bell loudly, the concept of avoiding people being foreign to them.” – Terry Pratchett
“The many cultures in Amsterdam contribute to the city’s high level of craziness – something which every interesting city should offer.” – Charles Landry
“Stand outside De Eland on the Berenstraat Bridge over the Prinsengracht and you see what real Amsterdam life is like.” – David Hewson

“Amsterdam’s my favourite place to visit.” – Bianca Del Rio
“In Europe, I always have fun bike riding in Amsterdam.” – Ezra Koenig

More Amsterdam Quotes For Instagram Captions

“Amsterdam is like the rings of a tree: It gets older as you get closer to the centre.” – John Green
“Historic Amsterdam, that old part you first see when you turn up at Centraal Station, may have it’s monuments, but it’s also the most tawdry and overcrowded part of the city.’ – David Hewson
“Amsterdam lives and breathes creativity. One moment you walk into a building from the 17th century and the next you find yourself in a hub of creative start-up companies.” – Marcel Wanders
“You could spend your time with your nose buried in a guidebook, but Amsterdam really is best explored on foot, so you can stumble upon the city’s hidden gems. The architecture and the beauty of some of the buildings is also wonderful.” – Gregory Porter

“Here people cycle with a reckless swagger, talking on the phone and eating breakfast.” – David Nicholls
“In a city like London, the fact that cultures live together and cross-fertilize is a beautiful and natural thing.

But sometimes immigrants can live in parallel worlds which can exclude others and not be very attractive.” – Charles Landry
“Amsterdam is a breeding ground for new creative pursuits in many areas fuelled by a tolerance and openness to ideas unlike any other city I’ve been to. There is something for everyone here, especially when you dare to go off the beaten path.” – Marcel Wanders

Do you know about phantom limb syndrome?” Julia nodded. “There’s pain where she ought to be. It’s feeding the other pain, the thing that makes me wash and count and all that. So her absence is stopping me from going to find her. Do you see?” – Audrey Niffenegger

Tulip Quotes

Many people visit The Netherlands in the spring to see the tulip fields. They are so vast, colourful and impressive and definitely deserve some attention on your Instagram feed! Here are some tulip quotes to go with your tulip photos.

“Tulips were a tray of jewels.” – E.M.Forster
“A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower. You didn’t have to struggle to make your face different that anyone else’s on earth. It just is. You are unique because you were created that way. Look at little children in kindergarten. They’re all different without trying to be. As long as they’re unselfconsciously being themselves, they can’t help but shine. It’s only later, when children are taught to compete, to strive to be better than others, that their natural light becomes distorted.” – Marianne Williamson
“How can you be content to be in the world like tulips in a garden, to make a fine show, and be good for nothing.” – Mary Astell

“Our city has a rich history, even though many tourists are only wanting to see the Red Light District.” – John Green
“Jan-Peter offered to teach me the language of Amsterdam’s Red Light District… but after his first phrase ‘Using the back door will cost you double’ I withdrew my request.” – Cristina Garcia

“Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.” – Bob Marley
“That is not a drug, it’s a leaf.’ – Arnold Schwarzeneggar
“Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit… unnatural?” – Bill Hicks
“The legalisation of marijuana is not a dangerous experiment – the prohibition is the experiment, and it has failed dramatically, with millions of victims all around the world.” – Sebastian Marincolo
“I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is a flower… God put it here.’ – Willie Nelson

“The Annex is an ideal place to hide in. It may be damp and lopsided, but there’s probably not a more comfortable hiding place in all of Amsterdam. No, in all of Holland.” – Anne Frank

“Whoever is happy will make others happy.” – Anne Frank
“Where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.” – Anne Frank

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles” – Anne Frank
“I can’t imagine how anyone can say; ‘I’m weak’, and then remain so. After all, if you know it, why not fight against it, why not train you character?” – Anne Frank
“There’s only one rule you need to remember: laugh at everything and forget everybody else! It sounds egotistical, but it’s actually the only cure for those suffering from self-pity.” – Anne Frank

Here are our favourite Amsterdam quotes from writers, artists and musicians from around the world. We’ve even included a quote from yours truly at the end!

“Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth, it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.”

– John Green, an American author of popular bestsellers like The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns

“…the curious Dutch classification gedogen, which means ‘technically illegal but officially tolerated’.”

– Russell Shorto, an American author, journalist and historian

“Amsterdam has more than 150 canals and 1,250 bridges, but it never seems crowded, nor bent and bitter from fleecing the tourist.”

– Julie Burchill, an English journalist, writer, broadcaster and championing feminist

“My experience in Amsterdam is that cyclists ride where the hell they like and aim in a state of rage at all pedestrians while ringing their bell loudly, the concept of avoiding people being foreign to them.”

– Terry Pratchett, an English author best known for his work on the Discworld series who sadly passed away in 2015

“Stand outside De Eland on the Berenstraat Bridge over the Prinsengracht and you see what real Amsterdam life is like.”

– David Hewson, a British novelist and fantasy writer

“Amsterdam was a great surprise to me. I had always thought of Venice as the city of canals; it had never entered my mind that I should find similar conditions in a Dutch town.”

– James Weldon Johnson, an American writer and civil rights activist from the late 19th century and early 20th century

“I think Amsterdam is to Holland what New York is to America. It’s a metropolis, so it’s representative of Holland, but only a part of it – you know, it’s more extreme, there’s more happening, it’s more liberal and more daring than the countryside in Holland is.”

– Anton Corbijn, a Dutch photographer and film director

“In Amsterdam, the water is the mistress and the land the vassal.”

– Félix Martí Ibáñez, a 20th-century Spanish physician, psychiatrist and author

“I love Amsterdam. The city is vibrant and alive. It’s fresh and so open. It’s definitely one of my favourite places.”

– Marcel Wanders, a Dutch designer and art director

“What’s special about Amsterdam is that the city is able to connect worlds that are not otherwise connected.”

“amsterdam is like the rings of a tree: it gets older as you get closer to the centre.” , “in amsterdam, the river and canals have been central to city life for the last four centuries.”.

– Janet Echelman, an American sculptor and artist

“The many cultures in Amsterdam contribute to the city’s high level of craziness – something which every interesting city should offer.”

– Charles Landry, a British author, speaker and international urban adviser

“Here people cycle with a reckless swagger, talking on the phone and eating breakfast.”

– David Nicholls, an English novelist and screenwriter best known for his books-turned-movies: One Day and Starter For Ten

“Amsterdam is not Holland. It is a city that attracts people from all over Holland. And lots of international tourists and party people.”

– Eddy de Clercq, a Belgian-Dutch music producer and promoter

“I was told David Letterman and Kaufman had heart attacks on the same day. David Letterman’s heart attack was at a hospital in NYC. Kaufman’s heart attack was at the red light district in Amsterdam. I think Kaufman had more fun.”

– Howard Stern, an American radio and television personality and author

“Amsterdam is a breeding ground for new creative pursuits in many areas fuelled by a tolerance and openness to ideas unlike any other city I’ve been to. There is something for everyone here, especially when you dare to go off the beaten path.”

“call me a pig, but isn’t it brilliantly refreshing how early the dutch eat dinner when they’re still laying out the cutlery in achingly hip barcelona, they’re hanging the closed sign on the restaurant doors of old amsterdam.” .

– Julie Burchill, an English journalist, writer, broadcaster and championing feminist

And finally… an Amsterdam quote from yours truly:

“Los Angeles is the ‘City of Angels’. Paris is the ‘City of Light’. And Amsterdam is the ‘City of Bikes’. And cheese. Never forget the cheese.”

– Justine Jenkins, a British travel blogger and freelance writer

This Week in Mets Quotes: Mets on their trip across the pond, J.D. Martinez on his first career walkoff home run

Your 2024 New York Mets : We couldn’t get a big hit.

“Overall, I thought we had good at-bats against Suarez, created traffic, but couldn’t get the big hit. We couldn’t get a big hit.” -Carlos Mendoza [ New York Post ]

Starling Marte explains not being able to catch a can of corn...

“When I saw the reaction of the hitter, because he was also kind of lost, I knew that a ball had been hit, but I just couldn’t pick it up right there,” Marte said through an interpreter. “When I saw his reaction and saw him move I was able to pick it up shortly thereafter.” -Starling Marte [ New York Post ]

“I just think we need to continue working on the positioning. I think a lot of the plays I have struggled with this year have been the ones that have been down the line and I think those are the conversations that me and the coaching staff need to have going forward.” -Starling Marte [ New York Post ]

...with support from his teammate and opponent.

“Normally [baseball] stadiums are much higher and here we are in a soccer stadium. Just the depth of the ball in the stadium is an adjustment you have to make on the run.” -Harrison Bader [ New York Post ]

“We knew it was tough to see those tweener balls with the white overhang. We knew hitting the ball to the outfield you had to run because they might not see it. A couple of our guys said they lost it for a second and things like that.” -Bryson Stott [ New York Post ]

Unfortunately for Sean Manaea, he had to deal with the consequences of Marte’s non-catch.

“It was all just such a blur.” -Sean Manaea [ MLB ]

For the first time ever, a 2-2-3 double play to end a MLB baseball game.

“I don’t think I’ve seen that before.” -Carlos Mendoza [ MLB ]

“I was just thinking about getting the ball, touching home plate and then throwing to first,” Torrens said through an interpreter. “I knew that Castellanos was trying to bust it down the line.” -Luis Torrens [ MLB ]

Love when the players feel a rivalry like the fans do.

“We were kind of due for a little bit of payback on being able to come back on [the Phillies ].” -Brandon Nimmo [ MLB ]

Steve Cohen believes Luis Torrens was money well spent. Hopefully, this influences his thoughts on spending during the offseason.

“A perfect example is we bring in Luis Torrens, right? For $100,000 — and he helps us win a game. When you’re fighting for a playoff spot, winning one game or winning two games really matters.” -Steve Cohen [ MLB ]

McNeil might be able to test that theory out sooner rather than later.

“My wife got into it, and I got into it — I think I would be a heck of a cricket player. You can swing at everything, it bounces and you can put it in play anywhere, I think that would be a lot of fun.” -Jeff McNeil [ New York Post ]

It really was a drag for an All-Star like break in early June.

“I feel like there was too much time off. I get that there’s a process of you have to sell the games and stuff like that, but to me, showing up and playing the next day would be beneficial. But during the regular season, the games do matter and so if it was up to me, I would say fine, let’s have the experience — we [had] an amazing experience — but just show up the next day and get things done” -Francisco Lindor [ New York Post ]

Future HOF* Salvador Perez. [* - This was a silly MLB Twitter debate a couple of weeks ago]

“[Francisco Alvarez is] great. A lot of energy. He plays with a lot of passion. He plays aggressively. He likes to compete. I think he’s going to be one of the best catchers in this game.” -Salvador Perez [ New York Times ]

Lindor really saved himself with the second half of the second sentence.

“Any loss hurts, but especially since it felt like we were flat. Even the crowd was [flat] because we didn’t give them anything to get going. The vibes, I didn’t like it. We all have to do a better job of bringing energy. We tried, but it didn’t happen.” -Francisco Lindor [ New York Post ]

Hey, Mendoza did something right.

“I wanted to get Pete back in the middle of our lineup. Against [Braxton], who hits behind Francisco Lindor in the two-hole? There were a couple of options and I decided to go with Bader.” -Carlos Mendoza [ MLB ]

Love when a player hits a HR/strikes out a player and expresses effusive compliments on the guy they just beat post-game.

“[Garrett] has good stuff, especially when he locates it. But again, it’s just staying in the pocket and being ready for that pitch that catches more the heart of the plate. He is a good pitcher. He mixes very well with multiple pitches. When he lives on the edges, he is obviously tough to hit. As with any pitcher, if [the pitch] shows up middle [of the zone], it’s our job to put a good short swing on it and do damage. I tried to do that. It worked out tonight for us.” -Harrison Bader [ MLB ]

Really was rooting for that fifth hit for Taylor.

“Having success in this game is good. I’m happy to contribute to this team. We are really good players. That is something we are capable of and to see it happening — I think baseball is a sport of momentum. Hopefully, we’ll keep it going.” -Tyrone Taylor [ MLB ]

“I couldn’t believe it when I was just told [it was J.D. Martinez’ first career walkoff HR]. I’ve seen this guy play for so many years and have a successful career. He is a pretty good hitter. When Martinez told me that, I was like, ‘No way.’” -Carlos Mendoza [ MLB ]

“I heard from everybody. My friends are already on me. [They said], ‘It’s only taken him [14] years.’ It’s funny.” -J.D. Martinez [ MLB ]

Maybe more impressive than the walkoff, was Martinez’ reaction to the Mets scoring only one run after a bases loaded, no outs, and 3-0 count.

“It’s a one-run game. It was still a great inning. We scored a run. We are within striking distance. We are changing the tone. We are one run away. Let’s keep it up.” -J.D. Martinez [ MLB ]

“SPORTS ILLUSTRATED: How does a couple from Antwerp become Jeff McNeil’s #1 Belgian Fan Club ?

CHRISTIAN JACOB: I played baseball since I was six or seven years old. Most of my fellow players were Yankee fans, because they were so popular at the time, but I didn’t like it. There was no connection for me. And then I found out—because it was pre-internet—about the Mets. The colors, everything, it suited me. I always liked the underdog. I have a soccer team who is also an underdog kind of team. So that’s the reason I chose the Mets. Then I went to Miami in the 1990s and I saw Mike Piazza play, and I was sold, I was sold completely. That was the first time I saw the Mets in real life. And the thing with Jeff McNeil is my girlfriend’s choice.

ILSE LEEMANS: I found him cute, and he’s a little bit of an underdog, too.” -[ SI.com ]

I would comment that Utley should be given no grace but I can’t stop thinking about ‘Son of a bee sting’ being used in this day and age.

“I actually had to spend time with [Chase Utley] and humanize him. I didn’t much care for him before that, no. Just in passing and competing with him — I don’t want to say I could do without him, but he certainly wasn’t my favorite. And then to spend two days, you learn about him, you learn about his family and you’re like, ‘Well, son of a bee sting, this guy’s like a real person over here. Here I am thinking he’s a demon.’” -Daniel Murphy [ MLB ]

Love Murph.

“In theory, I probably should win it. Now, [Utley] is probably going to go to the Hall of Fame, so he does have that. I’m not even sniffing that. They’ll wipe my buns off the ballot if I even get on it the first year.” -Daniel Murphy [ MLB ]

Train system in Europe

Europe train map, booking train travel in europe, 3 ways to make your european train fare cheaper, smart money move: earn points on train travel, train travel in europe recapped.

If you’ve been dreaming about visiting Europe this summer and eating gelato in Italy or visiting the Basílica de la Sagrada Familia in Spain, good news: Airfare is down 8% compared to this time last year, according to Hopper’s 2024 Summer Travel Outlook.

And once you’re in Europe, you may be able to save money if you travel by train. Traveling by train in Europe is convenient and sustainable. Plus, some trains, like the Glacier Express in Switzerland, are designed to travel through scenic destinations so you can sightsee while you relax.

If you’re considering incorporating train travel into your European itinerary , here’s what you need to know about getting around and how to save money on tickets.

There are several train companies in Europe. Some only offer regional train service, while others offer trains between countries. As you plan your trip, familiarize yourself with the train companies that serve your intended destination so you can determine if traveling by train makes sense for you.

Here are some train companies that serve different countries in Europe:

Eurostar trains travel between the U.K., France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. (Although the U.K. is not in Europe, it's a popular destination on its own and often coupled with a European itinerary.)

NS is the leading train company in the Netherlands.

Renfe is the national train company in Spain.

Deutsche Bahn (DB) offers long-distance and regional trains in Germany.

SNCF Connect offers high-speed train travel in France.

Trenitalia is the state-run train company in Italy.

Glacier Express offers scenic trains within Switzerland.

Some of these train companies have partnerships with each other to offer convenient connection options. For example, DB-SNCF is a joint venture between DB and SNCF that links travel between Germany and France.

If you Google search “Europe train map,” you’ll find many different maps based on regions, countries, or travel throughout the continent. Here’s a European train map offered by Trainline, which shows different destinations accessible by train.

The interactive map on Trainline’s website highlights popular routes across the country. If the country you’re looking for isn’t featured or you want to see regional trains instead, make your search more specific to check availability.

Buying train tickets in Europe is fairly straightforward. You can purchase your tickets through:

An online travel agency (OTA): Several OTAs that sell train tickets in Europe include Trainline, Rail Europe, Eurail and Omio.

The train company: If you know which train company serves your destinations, consider booking directly on the train company's website in case you need make any changes, since booking travel through an OTA adds an extra layer of complexity .

At the train station: If you don’t know (or plan) your schedule in advance, you can purchase a ticket at the train station. Keep in mind purchasing at the train station is running a risk that the train time you want might be sold out, or more expensive, since it’s a last-minute purchase.

Depending on when and where you buy your tickets, there are a few ways to save money on train travel within Europe.

1. Comparison shop

If the train company and an OTA offer tickets, compare prices to see where those seats are cheaper. We searched for a train from Paris to Amsterdam in August 2024 on the Eurostar site and on Trainline to see which option is cheaper.

Booking directly with Eurostar (price in U.S. dollars and euros)

Booking a Eurostar train on Trainline (price in U.S. dollars and euros)

If you pay in euros, tickets on Eurostar and Trainline are the same price (60 euros). But if you pay in U.S. dollars, the fare is slightly cheaper on Trainline ($68.30 versus $70). If you don’t have a credit card that waives foreign transaction fees, you’d want to book the ticket from Trainline in U.S. dollars.

Generally though, if you’re going to Europe — or really anywhere outside of the U.S. — consider using a credit card that waives foreign transaction fees , because these pesky fees are usually between 1% to 3% and can quickly add up.

2. Take advantage of discounts

There are often discounts available for students, seniors and families.

For example:

Spanish train operator Renfe, offers up to a 30% discount on tickets for those ages 14 to 25.

Eurail offers a family discount, a 10% senior discount and up to 25% off for travelers age 27 or below.

Eurostar offers discounted rates for those under age 26 and 60 and up.

Other discounts or sales may be available, so be sure to shop around. Booking early can also score you a deal. For comparison purposes, we searched for a ticket from Rome to Milan on Trenitalia one week and three months out. Most of the available tickets a week out were priced at $108, while the tickets three months in advance hovered around $48.

3. Consider travel insurance

According to NerdWallet’s annual summer travel survey , an impressive 84% of Americans plan on vacationing in 2024, with 45% of Americans going on a summer trip (June-August). Summer travelers plan to spend $3,594, on average, for their flights and hotel stays.

When considering an expensive vacation, travel insurance can be a good option, particularly if your trip plans are nonrefundable and you want overseas medical coverage. Even if you have a credit card that offers complimentary travel insurance , most U.S.-based medical plans don’t protect you for medical care abroad.

In addition to travel medical coverage, a comprehensive travel insurance plan includes benefits such as trip cancellation , trip interruption , baggage delay and lost luggage coverage . If you don’t need travel medical insurance, and the coverage provided by your travel credit card is sufficient, you may not need to purchase a standalone travel insurance policy.

Southwest Airlines Boeing jet ‘Dutch roll’ prompts FAA investigation

Boeing 737 max was flying from phoenix to oakland on may 25 when it suffered the incident.

Whistleblower tells senator Boeing planes are unsafe, claims his superiors made threats over complaints

The Federal Aviation Administration has launched an investigation after a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Max plane experienced a "Dutch roll" motion on a May 25 flight from Phoenix to Oakland, causing "substantial" damage to the aircraft.

Documentation on Boeing’s website describes a Dutch roll as when the nose of the plane "may go left to right as the airplane simultaneously banks side to side." The maneuver is caused by "wind or pilot input."

A preliminary FAA incident report says the Southwest Airlines plane "experienced a Dutch roll, regained control and post flight inspection revealed damage to the standby PCU [power control unit]."

There were 175 passengers and six crew members onboard the Boeing jet when the incident happened. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), is also investigating, according to The Associated Press.

The FAA and Southwest Airlines did not immediately respond Friday to a request for comment from FOX Business.

Boeing says on its website that "Ice skaters use the outer edge of their skates to propel themselves across the ice, rocking from side to side while also moving to the left, then to the right and back again."

"Airplanes can make similar lateral and directional motions in flight, rolling and yawing much like a traditional Dutch ice skater rhythmically swaying down one of Amsterdam’s frozen canals," it adds.

"Just as skaters avoid swaying too far and losing their balance, airplanes are designed to keep roll and yaw within regulatory requirements to ensure safety -- and potentially reduce the risk of airsickness," Boeing also said.

The Southwest Airlines incident comes as Boeing is investigating whether some fasteners on its undelivered 787 Dreamliner planes have been incorrectly installed, the aircraft maker told FOX Business on Friday.

A Boeing spokesperson said "Our 787 team is checking fasteners in the side-of-body area of some undelivered 787 Dreamliner airplanes to ensure they meet our engineering specifications."

"The in-service fleet can continue to safely operate," the spokesperson added, noting that the issue was discovered during its regular quality control checks. "We are taking the time necessary to ensure all airplanes meet our delivery standards prior to delivery. We are working closely with our customers and the FAA and keeping them updated."

Amsterdam’s new tourism campaign is ready to ruffle some feathers

Mar 30, 2023 • 7 min read

When visiting Amsterdam, consider greener, more socially responsible activities than wild nights in the Red Light District © Lana Iva / Shutterstock

If you’re a young British male planning a trip to Amsterdam to “go wild,” consider yourself on notice.

As “overtourism” threatens to overwhelm the city, the Dutch capital is actively telling certain travelers not to visit via what city officials are dubbing a (rather blunt) “discouragement campaign.”

The campaign specifically targets British men aged between 18 and 35 who plan to travel to the city to drink and take drugs.

When British tourists search online for terms including "stag party Amsterdam" "pub crawl Amsterdam" or something as innocuous as "cheap hotel Amsterdam" they'll soon be greeted with a video advertisement warning them of the consequences of consuming too much alcohol or drugs or causing trouble in the city through antisocial behavior.

“Nuisance tourists” no longer welcome

"The aim of the discouragement campaign is to keep out visitors that we do not want. If we love the city, we must take action now," says deputy mayor Sofyan Mbarki in a statement. "In recent months, I have talked to many different groups: residents, businesses, experts and interest groups. From these discussions, it has become clear that… intervention is needed."

Amsterdam is one of the most popular destinations for British stag (bachelor) parties thanks to its proximity to the UK and, of course, the legalization of cannabis and brothels. These trips generally include all-night drink and drug benders and sometimes antisocial behavior, which causes a strain on daily life for residents.

While the "Stay Away" campaign is targeted at just British male tourists for now, authorities say it may be expanded later in the year to include visitors behaving badly from elsewhere in the Netherlands and other EU countries.

From tolerate to regulate

Amsterdam hailed as a highly tolerant, liberal city, has become increasingly regulated over recent years, especially in De Wallen, better known as the Red Light District. In 2008, the number of prostitution windows was cut from 482 to 243; 100 more will soon be moved to a multi-story "erotic center" on Amsterdam's outskirts.

Critics, such as sex-worker advocate Justine le Clercq, accuse the city council of becoming increasingly conservative. "If you really want more safety for the [sex work] industry, you provide several small locations and more opportunities to work from home, just like other freelancers are allowed to do," she says.

Yet authorities say no moral judgment is involved in curbing disproportionate numbers of “men aged 18 to 35 that only come to party and use our city as a backdrop,” says city spokeswoman Carina Noordervliet.

“The streets in [Amsterdam's city center] are very small and therefore much [more] crowded than, for example, the wide public spaces in Paris, London or Berlin," she continues. "The discouragement campaign [is] targeted at a group of people who in general don't contribute to the city in a positive way.”

New measures on “feestbeest” and cannabis

More comprehensive measures on feestbeest ("party animals" in Dutch) – pub crawls, stag parties, stagettes and so on – will prevent raucous conduct in busy inner areas like Rembrandtplein , Leidseplein and particularly the Red Light District. Further measures – such as reducing the number of Airbnb rentals, hotels and river cruises – aim to dial down tourism overall, bringing annual overnight stays from 18 million to below 10 million.

Amsterdam is also increasing measures to discourage the sale of alcohol. Already, you can't buy alcohol after 4pm between Thursday and Sunday – and the city now requires that alcohol be hidden from view or removed from stores during these hours.

In February, the city council announced it would ban people from smoking marijuana on the streets in the Red Light District from mid-May. This is in response to complaints from residents about disruptive tourists who flood the district in the late hours and engage in antisocial behavior.

"Residents of the old town suffer a lot from mass tourism and alcohol and drug abuse in the streets," the council said in a statement. "Tourists can also attract street dealers who in turn cause crime and insecurity."

There's still plenty of fun to be had in Amsterdam. If you're going to experience the city for its dynamic culture (in both daytime and nighttime), historic architecture, forward-thinking gastronomy and pristine natural spaces, here are some tips for having a fantastic time in the Dutch capital – while being respectful of local life.

Venture outside the city center

Amsterdam's canals offer just one perspective on a fabulously diverse urban landscape that Noordervliet, the city spokeswoman, says many visitors don't fully explore. It's true that just a short tram ride or cycling adventure away from downtown , sprawling greenery abounds in the city's wonderful parks . Explore divine lakes and meadows around the Bos forest. At Sloterpark and Westerpark , you'll find plenty of space to picnic and even go swimming.

You can also take the five-minute ferry from Centraal Station to Noord , Amsterdam's ultra-cool, up-and-coming warehouse district. Enjoy the seaside breeze while discovering street art and popping into industrial haunts like NDSM-Werf , an 84,000 sq m former shipyard hosting art galleries and restaurants.

Stay and travel green

Amsterdam is one of the world's leading cities for smart mobility. Traverse the canals aboard a kayak, pedal boat or electric craft. Many tour operators, including Those Dam Boat Guys , offer zero-emission canal tours.

Afterward, retire to a hotel with a clear green focus. The brothel-turned-boutique hostel Cocomama and local hotel chain Conscious offer organic meals, eco-friendly design and upkeep using sustainable methods and supplies.

Support Amsterdam's "circular city" goals

A few years ago, Amsterdam announced it wanted to become the world's first " circular city ," aiming for a waste-free (or "circular") economy by 2050 using sustainable and renewable raw materials. As a visitor, you can support this by shopping locally and sustainably at vintage boutiques along the Negen Straatjes (Nine Streets), patronizing ecologically focused designers like Mercer and Property Of , and (especially) dining at eco-conscious restaurants like De Ceuvel , Foccaceria and Gartine .

Seek out socially responsible initiatives

Set out for a tour or activity that enriches local life. The world's first sustainable-fashion museum, Fashion for Good , explores fast fashion's alarming impact. A percentage of ticket sales goes toward a same-named nonprofit that helps local designers become more sustainable.

With Plastic Whale , you can directly help clean up polluted waterways by "plastic fishing" from boats made of retrieved and recycled plastic waste. Or learn about the city's lesser-known stories and social issues via Tours That Matter , which offers guided walks along such themes as colonialism and gentrification.

Meet the locals

You can really get to know the city on a walking tour that brings diverse Amsterdam voices to the fore. Mee in Mokum tours are led by volunteers of all ages (often, feisty grannies). Meanwhile, Rederij Lampedusa offers canal-boat tours in former refugee boats led by those who arrived during the refugee crisis.

See the Red Light District in a new light…

Scout out socially responsible initiatives in the Red Light District, such as the Condomerie , a boutique condom shop run by a safe-sex and HIV/AIDS-prevention foundation, or visit the sex-worker collective My Red Light's mini-museum about De Wallen history. Grab a pint at the De Prael craft brewery , which employs ex-prisoners and those with a history of mental illness. Or time your visit with events such as the Red Light Jazz Festival , which highlights a different side of De Wallen's culture.

…or go for a pub crawl in a different neighborhood

Amsterdam was the first city to appoint a nachtburgemeester (night mayor) to ensure that nightlife thrives even despite overcrowding. Several eclectic and lively after-dark establishments have popped up in recent years showcasing the vibrance and diversity that Amsterdam has to offer. In a revamped Noord warehouse, Sexyland World is an artists' hub bringing together 365 businesses and organizations that hosts everything from roller-disco nights to poetry slams. At Amsterdam Roest , you can relax at an industrial shipyard–turned–beach bar, or join thousands of other ravers enjoying the beats at Warehouse Elementenstraat .

"There's a much bigger picture of nightlife in Amsterdam than the Red Light District and other places to feel the pulse of the city," says current nightlife mayor Ramon de Lima. "Instead of closing down clubs, the creative community and municipality are finding solutions…[showing] our culture of not ignoring problems but trying to solve them together."

Respect the rules

Don't forget that illegal acts are punishable by fine and enforced by patrolling officers. Smoking cannabis is not allowed on city-center streets, nor is lighting up tobacco indoors. Photographing sex workers is highly disrespectful, not to mention illegal. If you use common sense, your visit to Amsterdam is sure to be, as the Dutch say, lekker gezellig .

Which loosely translates to "absolutely freaking awesome."
