Top 3 Things To Do When Visiting Amsterdam
Explore The Canals
One of my favorite things to do in Amsterdam was wander around the canals. The canals are arguably one of the most famous things about Amsterdam. You can spend hours wandering around admiring the houseboats and bridges. I also highly recommend taking a private canal tour! You'll get to see the city by boat and really experience the canals.
Immerse Yourself In Amsterdam's History
Amsterdam is a city filled with so much history. It's home to the iconic Anne Frank House and many world-famous museums like the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum. But, Amsterdam's history isn't just in museums. You can see so much of its history through the cobblestone streets and historic buildings and landmarks.
Enjoy The City By Bike
To really experience Amsterdam like a local, you'll need to experience it by bike. Amsterdam is one of the top "bike-friendly" cities in the world. Bike around the charming streets, squares, and neighborhoods like Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes) district. If you're wanting to learn more about the city, Amsterdam also offers guided bike tours.
