Amsterdam Travel Guides

Travel guides and travel tips for visiting Amsterdam, the Netherlands

outline of the Netherlands with pin on Amsterdam

In the last few years, I have been lucky to go to Amsterdam regularly: I have traveled to Amsterdam alone, with my husband and even with kids in tow and now I am lucky enough to have one of my best friends living there, giving me the excuse to explore the city over and over again as a local.

I have developed a true love for this city and keep going back regularly to enjoy its vibrant atmosphere, world-class museums and stunning city center.

On this page, I share tried and tested itineraries and packing tips, suggestions on must-see attraction and hidden gems and personal stories from our travel to Amsterdam as well as family-friendly attractions and handpicked accommodation options.

Happy travel planning!
