    Architectural Masterpiece

    If you are interested in old European architecture this is a good place to spend some time. The entrance fee includes use of a prerecorded, self guided audio-tour which is very well produced and interesting.

    Not worth the entry fee

    A mildly impressive building, but very little to see inside and at €14 a person exorbitantly expensive. Really not worth it.

    Very old church

    Oude Kerk is quite an old church! It is so old its beginnings go as far back as the 12th or early 13th century. It changed identities over time but it has survived a very long and turbulent history. Amazingly it is not a sight...More

    Waste of time and money

    The church windows had been covered in red plastic making it difficult to see and impossible to view the great art and architecture in the building

    Better places

    There are better places to visit and to spend your money on in Amsterdam than the Oude Kerk. The area is fun, and it is beautiful, and being there for the noon music is fabulous, but npot worth the trip.

    14 euros to enter this shell of a church (although it is not now defined as a church but as a museum - but with no exhibits..!!) is exorbitant. To rub your nose in it they charge an extra 2 euros if you wish to...More

    Centrum
    Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of
    tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists
    and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the
    best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe.
    Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops
    of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones
    Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods
    such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring
