Millions and millions of people have been through the doors of Madame Tussauds. There are many reasons for this continued success, but at the heart of all this is a good old-fashioned curiosity. The way today's waxwork made hardly changed how Madame Tussaud's she herself did in 1790.

Named after the owner’s mother, some say that Greetje is the closest you can get to a home-cooked Dutch meal in a restaurant. They often get high marks for their welcoming atmosphere and friendly service.

Take your favourite carnivore to Loetje for what is often claimed to be Amsterdam’s best traditional biefstuk and friet (steak and chips). The menu also has a few fish items, but this is no place for vegetarians!

Beloved by visitors, international students and locals alike, this cosy pancake house inside a 17th century warehouse on Prinsengracht is something of an Amsterdam institution – which explains the queues frequently seen snaking out of the door and along the canal. Visitors can tuck into a choice of more than 100 (huge) sweet and savoury pancakes, and help themselves from generous pots of syrup on the tables.

Shopping

The street begins at Dam Square and ends roughly 750 meters down near the Munttoren tower at Muntplein square. This tower was once a gate in the medieval city walls. After the walls were built, the street between the Spui and Munttoren came to be known as Byndewyck. This part of the neighborhood, from 1486 until 1629, had a veemarkt (cattle market). Later on the street got the name Kalverstraat, after the cattle market.
