Madame Tussaud's Amsterdam: A Budget-Friendly Guide
Madame Tussaud's Amsterdam is one of the world's most renowned wax museums, featuring incredibly lifelike wax figures. Located near the heart of Amsterdam, close to the famous Dam Square and the Royal Palace, visitors can easily combine a visit to these attractions. Inside the museum, you'll find wax figures of European entertainment celebrities, sports personalities, political figures (including Trump), scientists, literary and artistic figures (like Einstein, Anne Frank, etc.), and characters from comic books and movies (such as the Hulk, Iron Man, etc.). You can get up close and take photos with your favorite celebrities. There are also interactive areas like movie set simulations and music recording sessions. The statues include many handsome men and beautiful women, making it visually pleasing. The interactive and entertaining nature of the place ensures that children won't be bored. The museum isn't very large, and with children, you can take your time to explore and play, with 2 hours being more than enough. Personally, I feel that the value for money is a bit low, so I wouldn't recommend it for budget travelers or those who aren't interested. If you're not into European celebrities, you might not recognize many figures; the ticket price is a bit steep at β¬37.5 if you buy on-site. π On the second floor, there's a large circular glass window in the hallway that's perfect for taking photos. The view is expansive, offering a clear view of the street scene outside. Don't miss it if you're into posing for photos. π Money-Saving Tip: Booking tickets online in advance is cheaper than buying them on-site. I recommend searching for Madame Tussauds Amsterdam on the Get Your Guide website, where tickets for those over 16 are β¬20.50, and for children aged 2-15, they're β¬16.50, which is cheaper than the official website. Note that the museum is not included in the Amsterdam City Card or the Dutch Museum Card. Opening hours: 10:00-20:00 πΎπΎπΎ This trip concluded with a stay for a family of four in an Airbnb in the small town of Egmont aan den Hoef, not far from Amsterdam. The accommodation was independent, clean, and cost β¬540 for 5 days and 4 nights, which is super affordable. #Netherlands #MadameTussauds #HollandAttractions #EuropeAttractions #Amsterdam #MySnapshots #CulturalLandscapes
