Amsterdam's central hub, Dam Square, is home to the Royal Palace, the National Monument, Madame Tussauds Amsterdam, and the Nieuwe Kerk. With multiple attractions within reach, visitors can wander around this bustling square filled with tourists and locals alike.
The Van Gogh Museum celebrates the art and life of Vincent van Gogh, including his famous Sunflowers and Self-Portrait paintings. Just a short walk away is the Vondelpark, Amsterdam's largest park. This scenic park has a variety of recreational activities, such as cycling or just enjoying a picnic in the sun.
Most of the attractions in Amsterdam can be covered by walking or cycling. Public transportation such as trams or buses is also an option. The one-time ticket costs €3 for 1 hour, and the day pass costs €8 for 24 hours. Taxis or Uber can be convenient, but can be expensive.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Anne Frank House, the Rijksmuseum, or take a canal cruise. But if you have less time, skip some of the museums and stroll around Amsterdam's charming and lively streets.
Amsterdam's main international airport is Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), located 9 km southwest of the city center. It has good public transportation, including trains and buses, connecting to the city center within 20-30 minutes.
