Nataliya KoziyJanuary 10, 2015Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin. ✔️I love this city. Amsterdam, you have my heart♥️🌷🚲✌️

FoodieSeptember 20, 2014If you are upset with not being able to take a desired picture here, there is another landmark, exactly the same, in the Vondelpark, which is very close to the Museumplein and has fewer tourists 👆

Andrea HenkMarch 5, 2013I was worried there would be too many people for a good photo but it wasn't THAT crowded. It is a very cool sight in Amsterdam. You should visit and climb on the letters!

Hashim A.August 21, 2015It's amazing how such an insignificant thing such as large letters be the most sought after tourist attraction in the city. Everyone's taking photos with it.Upvote2Downvote
NatashaFebruary 2, 2017I really like this attraction #Iamsterdam ❤ so high, funny and colored. If you stay in Amsterdam, you should find this one, it's obligatory!! Enjoy your time in this wonderful city

Jan KostelijkJanuary 7, 2016#1 photoplace of Amsterdam. Come early morning to take a photo without 1000 tourists or go to the travelling IAMsterdam logo (at the moment at Kattenburgerplein)UpvoteDownvote
Food with ShayneMarch 5, 2016Where every tourist makes a pit stop to pose near the famous Iamsterdam sign. It is surrounded by Museum's and cobra cafe close by!

An iconic monument for beautiful Amsterdam. With the Rijksmuseum at the background (not in my photo) Rembrandt is closeby!!

If you want a picture with the IAmsterdam sign, make sure to get there super early in the morning. In the afternoon and evening (when it's still light out) it's always crazy busy!Upvote1Downvote
bembie amsterdamSeptember 20, 2016Best to make photos at night when less tourists around. Or just shoot your cam when there are lots of people in the afternoon.

OAugust 11, 2018: Always crowded. But theres plenty of open spaces for you ahead - museum area to sit chill to enjoy the day, make new friends and take picture tooUpvoteDownvote
DK RiyaniMarch 23, 2015It's for tourists surely 👣 there's a cafe and place to relax chill out, take a walk. Shopping area just nearby too.

Clemens M. M. Buur VredenburghJune 24, 2013well, mr. Higgins, Miller's Amsterdam would be just fine for you, I see it, but let me tell, here once in old Amsterdam lived some ladies, called 'joffers', they enjoyed in perfr of absolute authorityUpvoteDownvote
aeroRafaJanuary 21, 2013Sort of a clichè but a must take picture while visiting Amsterdam. Early mornings are the best -no people around- and no line to the Rijksmuseum. Enjoy!Upvote1Downvote- FoodieSeptember 20, 2014Impossible to take a picture of the full landmark during the daytime, loads of people 🙈 - better come early in the morning 🕖

Diana OliveiraOctober 4, 2017Nearby rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum and is a place with much people. So, if you want to take pictures you must go afternoon.UpvoteDownvote

Patricia SanchezDecember 30, 2014To crowded because of the tons of tourists, it's difficult to get a good picture. But it is a beautiful park. Be careful climbing the letters!UpvoteDownvote
Dave BrennanOctober 31, 2015Want less crowds? Take a pic from the back of the sign with the front camera on snapchat, it flips it backwards. 👻😎

Ítalo Lelis de VietroJanuary 9, 2018It’s a nice place but very crowded. One tip is to go to the other side take a picture and flip it. It will look almost the same.Upvote1Downvote
