Amsterdam at a Glance

Will you be on board one of the 300+ ships sailing out of Amsterdam’s port between July and October this year? If so, you’ll want to spend a couple days before or after your cruise checking out the city’s offerings. Even during a short visit, you can experience Amsterdam (famous for its canals and architecture) by planning your activities wisely. In a Travel Pulse article, Eric Bowman recommends starting with 5 goals for your stay as well as choosing your best mode of transportation. One option is the I Amsterdam City Card, available for purchase online. The purchase price includes access to public transit, a city map, and special offers (like a scenic canal cruise). Other options include catching available buses or taking a bicycle tour.

However you choose to get around the city and surrounding neighborhoods, there’s so much to see and do. From street vendors and outdoor cafes to fancy restaurants, Amsterdam offers visitors several opportunities to enjoy Dutch dining. Other notable tourist attractions in the city centre include the Anne Frank House—tickets are available for purchase online and photography is prohibited inside the house—and the “I amsterdam” sign (a very popular photo op). Outside the city centre, you’ll find diverse local attractions like the Heineken Experience in De Pijp and art museums in Oud-Zuid. For those who wish to visit the famous Red-Light District, it offers new tourist attractions among older establishments. Whatever you decide, enjoy Amsterdam!
