where to take the most Dutch pictures

What is the first thing that comes into your mind when you think of The Netherlands? Most probably clogs, tulips and/or cheese, right and for sure you will want to take a picture with them. But what are the spots to get the most Dutch pictures?

1- Volendam, Photo in traditional costume

When: Any time. Cost: 28,50€/5 persons (15€/1 person)

This is without a doubt the most popular place to take a picture. Even though nowadays no one dresses like this anymore. You can take this picture any time of the year in one of the many photo shops. The prices are quite high but it’s a lot of fun. We paid 28,5€ (you pay for the amount of persons in the picture, starting with 15€ for one) and as it’s very popular and tourist keep coming, there’s no “cheap place”. Ask if you can take the picture with your own camera as well, otherwise you only get a printed copy.

2- Rijksmuseum, picture with I amsterdam sign

When: Any time. Cost: free

There’re three I amsterdam sign in Amsterdam. The most popular is in front of the Rijksmuseum, another one is in Schiphol (so if you just have a connection in Amsterdam, you can still take the picture) and the third one changes places (last time it was at the passenger terminal).

3 – Zaanse Schans, picture in a huge clog

When: Any time. Cost: free

Zaanse Schans is just a short ride from Amsterdam and it’s worth for a day visit (it’s free, you just pay the parking).

4 – Keukenhof, tulip fields

When: April-May. Cost: free

Well, there are tulips fields in many places (I wrote a whole post about tulips a while ago), but the most famous are around the Keukenhof.

5 – Amsterdam, picture wearing clogs

When: Any time. Cost: free

There are many places where you can find clogs to take a picture with: Amsterdam, Keukenhof, Zaanse Schans…

Which one is for you the most Dutch picture? Which pictures did you take in The Netherlands?

Hahahaha, oooh dear! This brings back the trauma of taking my English family to ALL these sights. Maybe I am the only Dutch person who’s ever actually seen these places! 🙂

What a fun collection of photos. The first is my favorite, and glad to see your baby too. Love the clogs too, the only thing missing is a windmill 🙂

Great post! I live in Albany, NY where the Dutch heritage is still seen in the annual Tulip Festival and the oversized clogs can still be found for a great photo-op!

What a coincidence!! I have been to Albany a long time ago but it was in September so I didn’t see the tulip festival 🙂

I have the picture of me and the giant clogs 🙂 Sadly, I didn’t have a photo opportunity with any of the other locations. Did you stop by a windmill by any chance??
