About Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a city that earns a longer stay than most people plan — the canal ring, the museum district, and the Jordaan neighbourhood alone fill 3-4 days without repeating yourself. The Rijksmuseum anchors one of the world's great art collections (Rembrandt's Night Watch, Vermeer's Milkmaid); the Van Gogh Museum next door has the largest Van Gogh collection in existence; and the Anne Frank House on the Prinsengracht is one of Europe's most significant historic sites. The Jordaan west of the canals is where locals actually go — independent cheese shops, Dutch gin bars, and the Noordermarkt Saturday organic market. Amsterdam is one of Europe's most practical cities for cycling; rental bikes are available at Centraal Station and the canal ring is best seen at 10 km/h on two wheels. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is Europe's fourth-busiest airport and a KLM hub with near-global reach — one connection from here covers almost any intercontinental destination. A practical note on timing: weekend fares into Amsterdam tend to command a premium over mid-week arrivals, particularly from the UK and Germany, because of the strong short-break tourism demand. Haarlem (20 min), Delft (1 hour), and Keukenhof gardens (late March-May) are the best day trips.
Where to stay in Amsterdam
How the main neighbourhoods compare, based on trip type.
- JordaanBest for first visit
The canal district west of the city centre is the neighbourhood most people picture when they think of Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House is here, the Westerkerk clock tower marks the skyline, and the Noordermarkt runs on Saturday mornings. The streets are quiet at night compared to the Leidseplein area, and most of the major museums (Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh, Stedelijk) are reachable by foot or a short tram ride. Compact and genuinely pleasant for a first visit.
Metro: Tram 13, 17 (Westermarkt) · Airport: Around 20 min by train from Schiphol to Centraal, then tram · Picturesque, calm evenings, central
- De PijpBest for a weekend
South of the old centre, De Pijp is a well-liked neighbourhood for a short stay. The Albert Cuyp Market runs Monday through Saturday and is one of the largest outdoor markets in the Netherlands. The Heineken Experience is at the northern edge. The streets around Ferdinand Bolstraat and Gerard Doustraat are dense with cafes, restaurants, and wine bars at a price point below the Jordaan. Good for 2-3 nights when you want to eat and drink well without being in the tourist core.
Metro: Metro 52 (De Pijp); Tram 4, 24 · 15 min to Dam Square · Local, market culture, lively
- Amsterdam-NoordBest for nightlife
Across the IJ river from Centraal Station by a free 5-minute ferry, Amsterdam-Noord has the NDSM wharf - a former shipyard turned cultural venue that hosts some of the city's best club nights and festivals. The A'DAM Lookout tower offers a panoramic view of the city from the rooftop. The neighbourhood is deliberately anti-touristy and has one of the city's most credible independent music scenes. The ferry runs 24 hours, which matters.
