16 Off the Beaten Path Attractions in Amsterdam (Updated 2025)

"Opened in 2001, FOAM is a photography museum I’d call a must for any photography or art lover — it focuses on documentary, street, and portrait photography, hosts major and smaller exhibitions each year, and even has a nice outdoor garden; despite its central location it rarely feels crowded." - Matthew Kepnes
