One now we can can continue just a second I have to wear my gloves because it’s a bit cold weather again here the temperature is about 5 celsi at the moment but the feeling is 2
Celsius so we are next to San Anton Antonio SL which is a lock and behind of me there is a special Cafe Restaurant uh if you ever visit Amsterdam this is a kind of Cafe you should visit
Definitely yes finally I found my gloves t spot is coming to this direction this a popular spot in distance you can see on the right side the green uh Nemo science Museum now I am ready we can
Continue all right everybody is here we are starting a bit late sorry about that but most of our regular watches are here I think it’s an empty TBO it’s prity because of the weather I guess and
This is San Antonio slous it’s a lock so this is an icon building a Cafe Restaurant nowadays but in the past in the 17th century it was built for a municipality officer that municipality officer was living here and his duty was taking care of this water lock and this lock San Antonio
Lock have two function had two functions in that times the first one uh to not allow to enter the enemy ships into the city the city was after this lock I mean the border of the city and the second
Uh the flow out am river water from the city so that two functions it was built for that Municipal municipality officer he was living here in this building nowadays it’s a Cafe Restaurant as you see it’s a leaning building on the second floor look at that they are sitting there in a
Leaning floor the SL SW in distance you can see the ladders over there you can hire the hire the building or one floor for the company parties Etc as I see on their website the rental price is €

There are beautiful D snack options like bitter bow and fries and uh C sufle or freand all the Dutch street foods you can find it here it’s a special place an iconic building next to an San
Antonio lock here it is and the first paint first picture of this log is by rembrand rbrand f r you know the world renowned Dutch artist painter he is the first one who painted San Antonio’s lock
This one however when he painted the building the the lock the building was not here so in his paint you can see only the lock and the water here anyways the other side it’s also special you see
That there is on moon rbrand meat rembrand uh the right side that uh red shattered wind building is uh currently it’s rembrand House museum that you can see rembrand uh works and some of the pains I guess I’ve never been there it’s pretty but I know something about that rbrand lived here this
Building is the reason why rbrand went bankrupt he bought this house with uh with a huge mortgage and he couldn’t afford that when he bought this house he was on the top of his carer and then
Uh the plan didn’t work well so he couldn’t pay the mortgage amounts then he had to uh left the building and it was sold in an auction and then for hundreds of years I mean he lived here in the
Midd of 17th century but after that it was sold to someone else rembrand the painter moved to yordan area the to the poor neighborhood to the workingclass neighborhood and the building was used for different purposes uh throughout the centuries only in 1907 Amsterdam municipality
Bought this building from the owner and then it’s uh transformed to rbrand museum it was donated to rbrand foundation so since then it’s a museum so you can visit uh after it was transformed to to a museum uh Queen willina was the first visitor on this place anyways we are in water

Much thank you Paul this is the last live stream until the next Saturday by the way so enjoy it uh let’s walk through this way actually I was going to the right side to the new Mark side in the easiest way but this is also nice
It’s somewhere we don’t walk through usually there are some B TOS on the left this is the area where Once Upon a Time RM brand walk through on the streets there are many pains around these neighborhoods by rembrand from the 17th century by the way
Rbrand and his wife saskia had four children and only one of them survived Titus and Titus was baptized in Southern church here it is this is the other Church the other K in Dutch it means the Southern church it’s the first Protestant Church of Amsterdam it’s from 16
Uh 14 1614 as I see it’s pretty old the tower is in in its original colors for a while so rr’s only survived child son was baptized here rbr’s wife’s wife also died due to a sickness so actually it’s a tragedy rbr’s life he is one of the most famous painters of the
World nowadays but when you look into his life and for a while is good like 5 years 10 years he is on the top of his uh famous period but after that he went bankrupt he’s a poor guy and
He lost everything including wife and children and at the end he lived in Jordan neighborhood it’s the poorest area of Amsterdam in that times and he was buried in a cemetery for the homeless people because he had no money at all so no one knows nowadays where where is actually he was
Buried where he was buried at all so that’s true artists became famous after they die hey Les Arnold thanks so much you are probably one of our longest Watchers marad r g thanks good to see you
Again and all right we can continue JT is here our Harlem L JT how are you gu of Sil thank you for your support let’s continue it doesn’t rain much at the moment now now not any longer there are beautiful little alleys on the next and on the left and right side Beau
Hello this is the best spot you can see the Southern church Tower from the street view let me check if it’s still raining no not anymore so I can close umbrella that’s good okay so this way on the right side that’s the that’s the rout where we are coming from and
This way goes to Dum Square Dum stretches the little Dum streets the translation let’s go back to New marked side wow everything is Pinker look at that PLO interesting wow by the way that’s SL W Cafe where we started it’s open every day every day you
Can visit wow that’s good look at that what a fashion Amsterdam Fashion you see party party fashion but with SC look at that there are many masks inside as I see there are some unique shops around on the streets there are some interesting shops also small restaurants David zukerman thanks so much
I see an orange Super Chat thank you David and Ken from Los Angeles thank you so much our generous friends from Los Angeles thank you so much David and K for another unique shop is here there are beautiful shorts and what’s the name of the shop so what is what
If it’s winter fashion nose no season and gift giving also a reason it’s nice actually I can buy a shirt from here man’s t-shirts price one of them € 20 if you buy two $ 35 the t-shirts those are some Far e
Designs there’s a bookstore over there and kink Cafe stop eating and drinking a restaurant it’s the beginning of dump stretches there’s an entrance to near Mark Metro here we’re going to turn left to near Mark the former citygate site look the big prize for the Netherlands official lottery government lot the big price
Was 8,1 100,000 and extra price for 10 years every year you get € 100,000 it’s great but it’s already uh finished it was in 10 of January this is San Antonio bre Strat bra Strat the street name and in Netherlands Lottery there’s not tax you don’t pay I mean you don’t
When you get the price you don’t pay tax after that next year maybe because of your wealth you you can pay I’m not sure about it but when you get it first you don’t pay anything you get the full amount here in the Netherlands about the Dutch government
Lottery so in the first year you don’t pay anything about tax uh Margaret has a question M what time do the shops close on Sundays uh as I know lately at 6:00 in Amsterdam in Dutch cities other Dutch towns and cities most of the shops are closed
Already they don’t open on Sundays only the last Sunday of the month everywhere in the Netherlands the shops are open but in Amsterdam they open every day on Thursday they are open until 9:00 other days they are open until 7:00 on Sundays probably they are open until 5 or
6:00 but the S shops the S shops where you can get magnets or other gifts they are open until 10:00 every day by the way you can ask your questions on this live stream I I can try to reply
As much as possible uh YouTube members patreon supporters have priority when I uh response to the questions Naturally okay teresina hello good to see you I wish you could damage it sorry I wish I would do I could do also PR card on I can’t wait to be back in Amsterdam from Canada oh have a good trip in advance hopefully time flies fast for
You let’s get him walking towards to the former City Gate I can already see there it’s also a restaurant nowadays it’s called the [Music] the we can see the F Blues on the sky now PA tan hats welcome do you know the cheapest one bedroom in Adam guo I can give you a
Recommendation uh around Balmer Arena Balmer Arena of Amsterdam from Central Station to Balmer arena there is a Metro it takes like 15 or 20 minutes there is a hostel over there a own hostels a own hostels is the cheapest one and there’s a direct Metro connection so you
Can easily arrive to Amsterdam Centrum only you spend 20 minutes something like that and the last Metro is at 12:00 uh there is a district it’s called bul Uh I can read later maybe but it’s the pronunciation pronunciation is BU there is a on hostels check check that one it’s not far
Away from Amsterdam City Centrum and there’s a direct Metro connection and is probably is the cheapest one when you consider the distance to the Centum look at the colors beautiful beautiful we have still Christmas tree here and behind the castle looking building is the former
City hall uh like for 30 years it was used as a museum Amsterdam History Museum and before that it was Ving Centrum where Traders were waking the their goods also a tax calculation building and before that it was a City Gate that was the place where the people get into the city after
Paying some taxes nowadays it’s a restaurant Cafe you can sit inside or outside and you can get some Dutch snacks or food other options or you can just get a beer and here there’s area there’s a local market as I know almost every day there’s a small local market here
And the square is surrounded with many uh bars restaurants and also coffee shops that are also Spanish for example po Loco is a Spanish kind of bar and restaurant Cafe D Mondo also it’s the same there are a there’s a few uh coffee shop over there green places the Baker thiser
Cafe Bakery something behind the building behind the walk there is zik the China chinat Town which we’re going to walk through now and if you need cash there’s ATM there’s an ATM here next to Albert time in Amsterdam
There are not many ATMs for cash payments so this is one of them another one is at Dum square there’s an Albert time here if you want to buy something more budget friendly it’s a supermarket so if you cannot afford the restaurant if it’s
If it’s looking more expensive to you you can just get into albertin there are ready sandwiches for lunch or there are salads fruits Boxes Etc they might be more budget friendly [Music] hello ggm Ron good to see you and Mona first time I see your name welcome from
Indianapolis USA do you ever visit newer parts of the city curious as I’m planning to move to the ne and I’m learning yeah neigh parks of course I VIs it many times but for videos I usually don’t
Prefer because the C Centum is more lively you know there there are more wipes but uh in the next months and weeks I can show some other new nearer parts of the city also some closer cities
And towns for example Amsterdam New West or oor or HTP and ala ala Port those are popular places and per also it’s not far away from Amsterdam I can make some videos from there so you can get more
Ideas about the life in Amsterdam it’s a quite different life going on in the near parts of the city considering Amsterdam Centrum I’m comparing to Amsterdam Centrum so this is the restaurant inside it’s a great place you can enjoy your dinner or lunch in a historic building Once
Upon a Time rbrand was coming here rbrand uh was member of an Art Guild here so he was regularly coming here now you can have a dinner inside you can have a beer at the same place where R BR spent his time that side goes to the Red Zone the uh interesting
Part of the city I tell you much about that boan travel from Barcelona good to see you friend uh when making a purchase at just a second let’s have a look to questions when making a purchase at local stores do you get a small discount when paying cash no not at
All you don’t get any discounts there is no bargaining tradition in Amsterdam usually usually you don’t get anything only a few shops maybe but generally they don’t make a bargain or something like that uh if there is a discount they already WR it’s already written
On the some somewhere like if you buy two if you buy three there’s a discount something like that it’s already written otherwise they don’t make any discount something like that and some many places in Amsterdam they don’t accept credit card by the way you here because Here Local
Use 99% of locals they use either debit card or cash usually no one use credit card here they follow their budget so be aware that if you want to use your credit cards not everywhere except in the touristic City Centrum yes many places are accepting credit card but if you just walk
A bit out of the city Centrum probably they will not but Albert time supermarket in the city Centum they accept credit card I know it you’re welcome uh if I miss some questions uh I can reply on the next live video or you can ask on our Discord server so someone can reply
Back Z maraba hello z kasab uh welcome and what else let me see okay let’s continue I can’t see everything sorry let’s walk around a little bit more we have 142 watches today thanks so much don’t forget thumbs
Up if I get more attention on my videos I can make more frequently maybe [ __ ] guys on YouTube wow interesting look we have an advertisement here on this bike it’s a vintage bike shitty guide it’s not [ __ ] shitty guide documentary series on Amsterdam 1960s an arist uprising on YouTube wow
Interesting I’m going to check that later we have a police car here on duty probably they are busy with the other side we’re going to walk through this z d it’s SE Dy the reason oh polic is there
There’s a situation I think the reason this street is called zik it means SE Dyke because uh before the 15th century as I remember there was a sea wall here so instead of the street instead of this
Buildings there was a big wall to prevent water floating from the ey water the other side was the seaside so they were protecting the inner city inner city was on the left in the Red Zone there
Was a wall protecting the city from the water float so since then is called seik but it’s also a China Town by the way there are many Chinese or generally Asian restaurants or this area some of your shops or Asian stores Tha Malaysian Chinese or Japanese restaurants or everywhere yeah
Yeah the police is waiting in front of bubble te shop there might be something bubble bubble mble I don’t know what’s happening I don’t know what’s happening but they are waiting with a young Dutch looking guy ggm is once again our sponsor for Sunday drink thank you so much ggm thank you so
Much at the end of at the end of this video we’re going to have a drink with your donation thank You probably we will get our drink in one of our regular places there’s a this Temple here as I mentioned this is the chinat town of Amsterdam and there’s an authentic normal Temple it’s not a Tristy Temple it’s open only some days and times not every time it’s open let’s get on walk It’s a great time to have a walking tour to be honest because it’s not too crowded around and the lights and the ambience is really beautiful look at the colors the Sky f blue starry night we can’t see the stars but it’s a star night for us The little side on a Vietnamese restaurant is here Vietnamese street food there’s also Mulan rou the Artic night club and also you can find some normal stores that you can find that some sweet things Tokyo Tokyo back Tokyo Rotterdam those are unique items
For example those are Japanese sushi dishes or balls and Tokyo sweatshirts oh look at that [Music] interesting nice there are so many other Japanese items inside look at that windmill Japanese windmill with a d Style p style Dutch windmill let’s say I would go inside by their permission

The same Supermarket you see how big it is also there’s the second floor it’s a restaurant I think the second floor but you can find any kind of Asian products ingredients inside and as you see on the street place it’s written in Latin alphabet also in Chinese because we are in Chinatown left
Side is still the Red Zone there’s a very famous Thai Thai Restaurant here Thai bir restaurant there are two restaurants they are different the first one is this one the less popular one bir TI restaurant the more popular one the small one is this one Tha snake bar bird as
I heard from a friend once upon a time they were a couple with one restaurant but then they made a big discussion and they divorced and they they separate they separated the business so now husbands run one of the business and the wife I
Mean divorced wife run the other business they are competitor now that’s the story I heard another important place we should mention about that previously I mentioned also it’s a great bar here the M it has like one years history this is the first
Place where uh everyone is allowed to inside to be inside I mean no matter what gender or what they believe and what they TOS even pimps they were allowed to stay inside it’s the most free minded place of Amsterdam Bar uh Arena I I think Arena and bet F Baron she was the
Owner she had she had a free mind and she opened this place and she fought with everyone try to fight her about this open mindlessness open mindness all right let’s see what we have the is still open you can get through this Alle to the other side for Brook
Wall the other side other the old church area but after 8:00 they close this gate and the only way you can turn around there’s a beautiful bar here today there’s a l music as I see The Whiskey Bar zilt it’s a great place and there are like more than 1,000 whiskey options today
There’s a lot music you can hear that it’s a ja bar I also there’s a jazz music inside it’s also beer bar but their whiskies are more popular you can find even Indian whiskies India whiskies and the bartenders work there they have a great knowledge
