After traveling to Amsterdam twice now it has easily become one of my favorite cities in Europe. The charm in this city comes to you from every angle. From the romantic canals 60 miles to be exact to the historic architecture dating back to the 17th century , and the fact that there are more bikes than people. This means I get a small commission at no additional cost to you if you book a stay or purchase a product after clicking one of these links.
As always, I am so thankful for your support so I can continue to offer free resources. One of the most humbling experiences I have ever encountered was visiting the Anne Frank House. Entering the secret annex where the family of Anne Frank hid during the Holocaust brought tears to my eyes. Gear up for an emotional visit.
Tickets come with a guided audio tour that covers the history behind your visit. They sell out every day! Finally, after your visit head next door to Pancakes Amsterdam for a hit of serotonin. A national museum that is dedicated to the culture, history, and arts of Amsterdam. Find masterpieces from Rembrandt and Van Gogh in the museum. The most popular piece of artwork is Night Watch by Rembrandt.
This dutch art museum is a must-see and has over pieces of his work and dives deep into the mid of this creative genius. If you only have 2 Days in Amsterdam it might be tough to squeeze this into your itinerary but nonetheless should be added to your list. Book your tickets here! Trendy cafes, narrow homes, quaint shops, and eateries line the streets. I highly recommend you choose this area to stay in mainly because some of the best eateries in Amsterdam are within walking distance.
More on that is below. To truly experience Amsterdam, you must book a daytime or evening canal cruise. This is the best way to admire the city from another perspective. There are many different cruise options to choose from — this option comes with a tour of the Heineken experience which I will speak about later in this blog. The floating flower market, known locally as the Bloemenmarkt, is one of the most visited places in Amsterdam.
