Every November, this international film festival takes place in Amsterdam, a city that is once a paradise for documentary lovers. The festival takes place in several locations: from Rembrandt Square to Amsterdam West and Zuid. There will be (inter)national premieres and competitions, screenings of new directors and student works, screenings of children's documentaries, a film market and the participation of many international guests. 
During IDFA, more than 300 international documentaries will be screened, all of which present a unique perspective on the world. During IDFA, viewers will be taken to the poorest and the richest places in the world, sometimes in a poetic way, sometimes in the form of a powerful manifesto. The themes of the films are extremely diverse, but they all have one thing in common: they make people think and provoke discussion.

Boat tour

Night view

Buy a cup of coffee or tea before boarding and enjoy your leisure time.
Feel the customs and customs of Amsterdam on the water, see historical relics, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beam bridge, and listen to the past and present.
Before boarding, I thought what was there to see in Amsterdam. After the boat started: this experience was still good, and I could calm down and savor life.
The Prince&#39;s Canal, Anne&#39;s House, West Church, &quot;Dentures of Amsterdam&quot;, whether serious, deep, or funny, RMB 127 is still worth it.

This boat is relatively basic and cost-effective; you can also try a more expensive boat full of colorful flower decorations, take pictures, and the most important thing is that there are wine waiters on the boat, and you can order wine/drinks.

Good to see what it&rsquo;s like, also feels kinda perverse goggling at people trying to make a living butttt idk

Anne Frank House

Historic buildings

Had amazing time knowing the house and the writings. Just not encouraging elderly people with limited mobility to come due to climbing stairs is not easy.
