Indeed, it has to be one of the most unusual things to do in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<p>Plastic Whale organizes a 2-hour boat trip where you'll receive your own fishing net to catch plastic. You can do this while admiring <strong>the city's magnificent sites and learn more about them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Collecting plastic in the canals is an unusual and strange thing to do in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc141351694\"><\/a><strong>Ride a swing on top of a building<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Looking for something a little unusual? Head to A'DAM Lookout, located at the top of a 22-storey tower.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the panoramic views, you'll have the chance to ride Europe's highest swing. But don't panic! You'll be wearing a safety harness when <strong>you'll swing 100 meters above Amsterdam.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc141351695\"><\/a><strong>Unusual activities in Amsterdam: search for Amsterdam's flower bikes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These bikes, decorated with flowers, clocks and butterflies, are the work of an artist by the name of Warren Gregory, or The Flower Bike Man.<\/p>\n<p>First, he decorated his wife's bike with flowers because she was having trouble finding where she'd parked it in town.<\/p>\n<p>He then began decorating abandoned bicycles, scattering them all over Amsterdam. <strong>to bring happiness and smiles to passers-by.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today, you're sure to spot one or two of these pretty bikes along the canals and streets of Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc141351696\"><\/a><strong>Unusual activities in Amsterdam: Search for a unique urinal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Okay, it may sound disgusting, but you've got to see this urinal. The City Hall urinal is actually a national monument. It's a <strong>a beautiful structure that doesn't look too much like a urinal from the outside. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You don't have to go in if you don't want to, but it's still something unusual to see in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc141351697\"><\/a><strong>Discover the spooky house covered in bloodstains<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There is a building overlooking the Amstel river <strong>marked with reddish-brown symbols<\/strong>. You might think it's vandalism, but look closer and you'll notice it's real blood.<\/p>\n<p>The locals believe they are the bloody work of a mad ambassador who occupied the house.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc141351698\"><\/a><strong>Discover the mysteries of the red light district<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjouramsterdam.fr\/en\/red-light-district\/\">Red Light District<\/a>De Wallen is one of Amsterdam's most unique places. It's a neon-lit maze of medieval alleyways, filled with caf\u00e9s, raunchy museums, gay bars, art galleries, sex shops, fast-food outlets, red-lit brothel windows and seedy pubs.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc141351699\"><\/a><strong>Enter the narrowest house in town<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Kleine Trippenhuis, also known as the Little Trip House, definitely stands out. It's actually on the other side of the canal, opposite the city's widest house: <strong>Trippenhuis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Kleine Trippenhuis, which is only 2.40 m wide. The first floor of the house is a store, which means you can go inside and see how small it is.<\/p>\n<p>Kleine Trippenhuis is <strong>a unique thing to see in Amsterdam<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc141351700\"><\/a><strong>Unusual activities in Amsterdam: see grotesque medical specimens at Vrolik<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Here's another museum where you can plunge into total strangeness. This time, it's in the medical field. The Vrolik Museum in Amsterdam has a huge collection of horrifying medical exhibits.<\/p>\n<p>The museum houses <strong>over 10,000 medical and anatomical specimens dating back to the 1700s.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It's not every day you find one-eyed creatures or Siamese twins on display like this. And keep an eye out for mermaid fetuses. A strange and unusual place to discover with family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>During your trip to Amsterdam, I recommend a visit to one of these unusual places.
