Neat place to see with no waits nor entrance charge. Great for some nice pictures but pretty quick to walk around.

Am amazing place of peace and quiet in a bustling city. The origins of this place, the begijnen women give us pause to reflect on the values of bygone times which are sorely needed in the crazy times of today

A small, historic courtyard in Amsterdam. It is pretty with a few sculptures dotted around. Entry is free.
You are expected to be quiet and respectful as people still live in the properties. You are, also, expected to stay on the open path that wanders through the site. Other paths are only accessible to residents.
There are two small churches, but a service was occurring, so I did not visit them.
The place is not that big and only took fifteen minutes to visit. I went thirty minutes before closing and was able to walk straight in.
It was nice enough and worth a visit if you are passing, but not worth a special trip

One of those places in Amsterdam that doesn’t require entrance fee. The scenes were pretty, including the small church that’s preserved properly. A nice place to visit in a sunny afternoon!
The Begijnhof in Amsterdam is a serene and historic oasis in the city center. This medieval courtyard features charming houses, well-kept gardens, and the impressive English Reformed Church. It's a perfect spot for a peaceful walk and a moment of reflection.

Also its free to enter!
