    What a great city! So much to do and see! Stay a bit outside to avoid the masses. Transport system is cheap and convenient. Love Amsterdam!

    If you are visiting multiple museums, buy the "Museumkaart" (museum card). With a fixed fee of €59 will get you into all the big museums and skip queues. amsterdam.info/museums/museumkaart

    Welcome to Amsterdam! Be careful of bicycles, they're everywhere and don't care about pedestrians.

    This city is really a beauty. Please don't come here for the drugs and the red lights, it's a pity. Come for the incredible atmosphere this place has, walk every street and forget about home!

    Do rent a bike! It's the best way to move around the city. I know it looks scary but once you're in a bike it's much easier to navigate around.

    Amsterdam is a city with lots of culture, beautiful sceneries and nice things to do on the outside. Two or three days are enough to visit.
