Of course you end up in the red-light district, but if you are there, visit this beautifully hidden church museum.
STRAAT is a street that goes cross borders, from Amsterdam to New York, from São Paulo to Tokyo. But it’s also a street that goes across boundaries: it reunites under the same roof the variety of styles, shapes, techniques and narratives of the largest art movement of our times. There collection is made of artworks as big as walls, which were created here. In a former shipyard that is, by itself, a national monument.
Entrance 18,50 p.p.

Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder is a shelter church and means literally Our Dear Lord in the Attic. It's a 17th-century canal-house, house church and museum in the city center of Amsterdam. The Catholic Church was built on the top three floors of the canal house during the 1660s. It is an important example of a "schuilkerk", or "clandestine church" in which Catholics and other religious dissenters from the seventeenth century Dutch Reformed Church, unable to worship in public, held services. The church has been open as a museum since 28 April 1888 and has 85,000 visitors per year. Ons Lieve Heer op Solder Oudezijds Voorburgwal 38, 1012 GD Amsterdam Open: Monday - Saturday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Sunday - 1 p.m. - 6 p.m.
If you end up in the red licht district let this beautiful museum be your excuse. :-)

The Zonneplein in Tuindorp Oostzaan is perhaps Amsterdam's best kept secret. The idyllic square in the Amsterdam School style is hidden behind a real entrance gate. You will not only find shops and facilities, you will also find one of the oldest theaters in the city - still in the original style. The square has traditionally played an important role in "the village": culturally, socially and economically.
