Getting Around

Amsterdam means trams! They are synonymous with the city and for good reason, they service virtually every attraction in the city. There is also a metro servicing destinations further afield.

But a better way to the city is with pedal power! The city is extremely flat and very suited to bike riding, and the city is famous for being one of the most bikeable cities in the world!

Best time to Visit

Amsterdam rarely gets super-hot. Spring through fall offers the best weather, but you'll still need to layer up for those cooler nights. Pack for daytime high temperatures that average around 72°F in July and August, which is the peak of summer here, and also peak tourist season. March through the start of May sees the nearby tulip fields bloom bright, and it's worth dealing with the chillier weather to enjoy this spectacle.

What to Pack

Make sure you pack a light jacket and sweater in summer, for the evenings, and a heavy coat if you're coming in winter. Here are a few more items that could come in handy:

  • A good camera: Better than just your phone. This is a very photogenic place, especially if you're coming for tulip season. Do all that beauty justice.
  • An umbrella: It can rain at any time In Amsterdam, so do come prepared. But the good news is, those canals look even prettier in the rain.
  • Sneakers: Or other comfortable but cool walking shoes. The best way to get around is by bike, but when you're not in the saddle you'll do a lot of walking.
