Some of my favourite non-mainstream, non-touristy things to do in Amsterdam: historical tours, plastic fishing, urban foraging, pancakes in the forest, Frankendael park, volkstuins, old movie houses, and more. Amsterdam is an amazing city, with an impressive collection of things to see and do, for tourists and locals alike. There's never a shortage of events, museums, workshops and there's something for everyone. If you're looking for new things to do and you are less inspired, or you want to avoid the crowds for a while, I curated a list for you.
