Are you saying parking is gambling in Amsterdam?

Edit: in some cities in North America, a parking spot makes double to triple the amount compared to a minimum wage worker.

No, but our family of four went on a visit to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the by far most expensive part of the trip were neither the museum tickets nor the restaurant bill, but the parking: about €16 per hour.

Should have taken public transit!

Sometimes you learn things before, and sometime by doing them. This was the latter case.

Amsterdam is an amazing city. They also REALLY do not want cars in the city itself. When I was there, a lot of the time, I saw more trams on the roads than cars. There was also a huge number of bicycles.

The parking price doesn't surprise me. It's their way of saying "we don't want cars!" while still allowing them is necessary.
