Planning your visit
Amsterdam is one of Europe's most popular city-break destinations. Between the historic canal ring, world-class museums and vibrant neighbourhoods, there is something for every traveller. Most attractions are easy to reach on foot or by tram.
Museums
The city hosts a wide range of museums covering art, history and science. Popular exhibitions often sell out during peak season, so it is recommended to plan your visit in advance and check opening hours before you go.
Getting around
The city centre is compact and best explored on foot or by bicycle. Public transport is reliable and contactless payment is accepted on all trams and buses.
Useful tips
Book popular attractions online ahead of time, carry a light jacket — the weather changes quickly — and keep an eye on pickpockets in busy areas, just like in any large tourist city.
