Things To Do In Amsterdam: 3 Day Travel Guide

Amsterdam is one of the most popular cities in Europe for travelers to visit, and for good reason. Amsterdam has one off the most unique city environments to explore featuring beautiful Dutch architecture, countless canals that feel like they were pulled from a fairy tale and countless cafes, shops, artworks and more to explore.

RE: Anne Frank House--tickets go on sale on Tuesdays for the week six weeks in advance. When I booked on a Wednesday morning, almost all the tickets were gone, except for those at the last entry time. I suggest be ready to book very first thing when the tickets go on sale to get your best selection. I am going in early May (not height of summer). Thanks for all the other great suggestions!

Thank you for the tour. Don't miss the Van Gogh Museum. Another impressive indoor space is the public library, within walking distance of the Centraal station. I've been to Amsterdam 3 times; it's my favorite city. The reason I went there for the first time was to see the Van Gogh Museum, which I adore, and which, for me, is the most exciting attraction in all of Amsterdam. I chose that as the highlight of my 65th birthday celebration in 2021, my most recent visit. Everywhere I went, the locals were kind enough to help me celebrate. I don't have any plans for travel anytime soon, but I do hope to get there at least once more before I shut down my list of dreams waiting to be realized!

[@DomanationTravels]

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences in Amsterdam. I had the Van Gogh museum on my original itinerary but I didn't think to buy tickets in advance so unfortunately when I arrived an learned I needed to reserve a time I found out the next available time was after I had to leave the city. But at least I have a good reason to go back!

[@MuddyLaBoue]

@@DomanationTravelsThat's what happened to me re the Anne Frank House. If and as soon as I make plans to go again, I'll go ahead and book a ticket for Anne Frank if it's available. The canal cruise that I boarded just in front of that museum was great, so at least I know how to find it!

[@jamesonmase3729]

Thank you for the tour. do you recommend buying the I Amsterdam Card for a 3-day travel? If no, how did you go around (i.e., public transportation)?

[@DomanationTravels]

Thanks for watching. I think for my trip that Amsterdam Card would not end up being worth it but I need to crunch the numbers a bit more. I think if your itinerary is very heavy on museums it may make sense but I don't think it covers Anne Frank House or the Van Gogh museum. I got around on public transportation and purchased day passes (except for the day I rented a bike and used the bike to get around everywhere).

As someone who’s seriously looking into traveling internationally for the first time this year would you recommend this as a good starting place? And if so how was getting around without knowing Dutch?

Thanks for the great question. Amsterdam is a really easy place to travel for your first international journey. Almost everybody is able to speak English just fine and English is also used for a lot of signs.

[@rienkhoek4169]

Depends so much on what you like. Amsterdam is great, most people speak English, but expect tourist proces. How many days are you going to stay?

[@timnguyen1925]

We (people) will be in Amsterdam in late April 2024. The hotel in Amsterdam is so expensive. Could you recommend the hotel in Haarlem? Is it easy to travel back and forth between Haarlem to Amsterdam and the airport? ( I have an early flight departure flight in the morning) Thanks in advance.

[@DomanationTravels]

Thank you for your questions. I stayed at Bed & Breakfast Hotel Malts, they were very friendly and offered a lot of great advice about Haarlem. Travelling to Amsterdam from Haarlem is easy, the train runs every 10-15 min and then it's about 10 min walk to the hotel. From Haarlem to the airport there is a bus service that we pretty convenient. The Hotel owners gave me information about it. I don't know how early the bus runs so as a back up you might need to train to Amsterdam and then transfer to a train that goes to the airport or just take a taxi. I hope this helps.

[@timnguyen1925]

Where are the cheapest places in Amsterdam to buy souvenirs like magnets or keychains or any other small souvenirs like small or tiny wooden shoes or windmills statues? Are there any souvenirs for 1 Euro like keychains? Are postcards cheap there? We will be staying in a hotel near the Central Station. Thanks for your assistance. Also, where can you get change for the penny machines? When we went to Rome last year, it was hard to get change and they made you buy something. One vendor yelled at us for trying to buy items separately to get more change. We are hoping Amsterdam will not be like that.

[@DomanationTravels]

Thank you for watching! To be honest I didn't buy any the souvenirs so I am not sure where the cheapest place will be. But if you are staying in the central city you will run into a lot of souvenir shops so I am sure it won't be too hard to find something that fits your budget. I'm also not sure about penny machines since I didn't try that either. Sorry to hear that you had that experience in Rome and I hope it is much more pleasant in Amsterdam!

[@figureskating2724]

@@DomanationTravels Thanks for your reply. We were just inquiring if businesses give change because it was hard to get change in Rome. Businesses in Rome were unwilling to give us change and told us to buy things, but we weren't getting enough change still to get the elongated pressed/smashed pennies. We were wondering if businesses in Amsterdam would or who would? Thanks.
