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?

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??

Yes, I also have pictures with windmills. I have to look for them 🙂
