What to do and see in Museum Quarter (Museumkwartier), North Holland Province: The Best Things to do

June 5, 2021 Frederic Celentano

This city, full of colorful homes, canals and bridges, is one of Europe's most picturesque capitals. Must-sees on any visitor's itinerary include the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum and the world's only floating flower market. Rent a bike and join thousands of locals navigating Amsterdam's labyrinthine streets, or just take in the sights on foot. For an unusual and memorable alternative to hotels, consider staying in a houseboat.

Concertgebouw

The Royal Concertgebouw is one of the world's most famous concert halls renowned for its exceptional acoustics. With 700 concerts a year the Concertgebouw offers a varied programme featuring leading international musicians, orchestras, and conductors. The hall functions as a home base for the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, one of the very best orchestras in the world. Time and time again, critics have lauded its unique sound, which clearly stands out among thousands of others. Behind-the-scenes tours provide a look into the concert hall's rich history. There are scheduled tours three times a week and for groups available on request. From September to June at 12:30pm. Every Wednesday, there is a free 30 minute concert in the Concertgebouw. Due to the popularity of these concerts it is recommended to arrive at least 45min before the concert.

The Paris Opera, Philadelphia Concert Hall, Carnegie Hall and the Benaroya Symphony in Seattle are superb and so is the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam... most concerts have available tickets and you should book in advance to enjoy the sheer beauty of the acoustics and wonderful concerts.

Cigaragua

The worlds first Cigaragua store with the finest selection of Nicaraguan cigars. Nicaragua has the best soil for tobacco in the world, nutritious volcanic soil, the best tobacco farmers in the world and a highly skilled work force. It's no wonder that even the big Dominican brands are venturing into Nicaragua. Nicaragua produces the best cigars in the world, period.

Wow! Where do I begin? Decided to visit Cigaragua in Amsterdam purely based on ALL the raving reviews on how good this place is. Had to go experience it myself. The minute I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly welcoming face, Onno. This man knows his products (Cigars) inside out. We had a grand tour of their huge walk-in humidor and he personally talked me through each of my sections. (yes i did purchase alot!) We then got an invite to their lounge (located below the walk-in humidor). My Padron was cut and lit to my preference and paired with a beautiful 12 year Flo De Cana. Several hours later, regrettably the wife & I had to leave as it was past their closing time. If you are looking for a informative, relaxed, reputably cigar shop with great staff (cannot commend Onno enough) with stunning décor and ambience to match… Cigaragua is your place of choice. Its not just a cigar shop...its an experience! Thank you Onno & Cigaragua! Hopefully see you later the year for the annual Big Smoke
