Must-Dos

Discover the picturesque canals and historic landmarks of Amsterdam, known as the 'Venice of the North.'

Explore the UNESCO-listed Canal Ring, lined with elegant merchant houses, charming bridges, and tree-lined streets.

Visit world-class museums like the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Anne Frank House, showcasing art, history, and culture.

Hop on a canal cruise and see the city from the water, passing by iconic sights like the Westerkerk, Skinny Bridge, and Jordaan district.

When to visit

The best time to visit Amsterdam is from April to October when the weather is mild, and outdoor activities like canal cruises, cycling, and visiting the city's parks are enjoyable.

Consider visiting in spring (April to May) for blooming tulips and fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months.

Avoid the winter months (December to February) when temperatures can be cold, and some outdoor attractions may have reduced hours or closures.

Getting around

Navigate Amsterdam's iconic canals and historic neighborhoods by taking a scenic canal cruise or renting a bicycle, with the city's flat terrain and extensive bike lanes making cycling the preferred mode of transportation for locals and visitors alike.

For longer journeys within the Netherlands or to neighboring countries, Amsterdam's central train station offers excellent rail connections, including high-speed trains to cities like Rotterdam, The Hague, and Brussels.

Tips

  • Discover Amsterdam's iconic landmarks and vibrant culture with a hop-on-hop-off bus tour, offering stops at attractions like the Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, and Rijksmuseum.
  • Think about acquiring the I Amsterdam City Card for free entry to museums, discounts at restaurants, and unlimited use of public transport within the city.
  • Utilize Amsterdam's extensive tram and bus network to explore the city and its neighborhoods, including trendy areas like Jordaan and De Pijp.
  • Delight in Dutch cuisine, including dishes like stroopwafels, bitterballen, and poffertjes, at local cafes and markets.
  • Pack comfortable shoes and a raincoat, as Amsterdam's weather can be changeable with frequent rain showers, especially in the spring and autumn.
  • Take a scenic canal cruise to see Amsterdam's historic canal houses, picturesque bridges, and bustling waterfronts from a unique perspective.
