Begin your day taking a leisurely walk through the picturesque canals to reach the Museumland district. Our first stop is the Rijksmuseum, which showcases artworks and artifacts from Dutch history. Afterward, we will take a short walk to the Van Gogh Museum to admire the works of the famous painter. Finally, let's hit a coffee shop to enjoy the entertainment of "coffee tourism" and relax after the museums.
Today we will explore Amsterdam's charming canals while having some beer and snacks aboard a canal cruise. After the cruise, we will head to the world-famous Red Light District where you can have an unforgettable experience enjoying drinks, visiting various pubs, and of course admiring the area's famous booths.
Today, we will visit a few of the best pubs Amsterdam offers, starting at Brouwerij 't IJ for beer tasting. Afterward, we will head to The Butcher to have a cheeseburger and chill out with some beer. To end the day, we will hit the Holland Casino so you can test your luck and enjoy nightlife like a local.

Before you leave Amsterdam, let's visit Zaanse Schans and enjoy Dutch countryside life by touring windmills, cheese farms, and wooden houses. For a grand finale, we will take a farewell cruise on the charming canals of Amsterdam.
Transportation in Amsterdam is easily accessible with public transportation, bike rentals, and taxis. We recommend buying an Amsterdam Travel Ticket valid for trams, buses, trains, and metros. The cost is €17 per day. For an ultimate experience, we recommend renting a bike or using Uber. The average cost of an Uber ride is €1.70 per kilometer, and a standard bicycle rents for approximately €8/day.
If you have more time, we recommend exploring the Jordaan district, Heineken Experience, or visiting the Anne Frank Museum. For less time, eliminate the windmill tour and farewell cruise on day 5 or skip the Keukenhof Garden and beach party on day 4.
