Fall in Love With Amsterdam

Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands, is no stranger to tourists. This popular destination draws in crowds from all around the world every year thanks to its diverse offerings that are sure to please all types of visitors. Before heading out on your trip, know what to look for in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam is a city full of art and culture, so it's no surprise that it's also home to plenty of world famous museums. Head over to the Museum Quarter where you will find the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, and the Stedelijk Museum among others. Be sure to make time in your itinerary to visit the Anne Frank House which was converted into a museum that tells the story of her time in hiding in the house.

Take a break from all the museums by taking a canal cruise that will take you through the canals that run through the city. For a quaint stroll, head over to Jordaan where you will find winding streets full of cozy cafes, art galleries, and markets.

Amsterdam has no shortage of variety when it comes to food. You can find all types of international eateries, cozy restaurants, and quite a few Michelin starred restaurants. Since you're in Amsterdam, why not eat like a local? Must try foods include poffertjes (tiny pancakes covered in butter and sugar), bitterballen (deep fried crispy meatballs, a popular pub snack), and raw herring. The raw herring is typically a love it or hate it dish, by why not give it a try while in the city? It may be easier to take a broodje haring, a sandwich that includes the raw herring. Cheese is also quite popular in Amsterdam, so be sure to stop by one of the many specialty cheese shops you'll come surely run into.

The summer months are typically the most popular among tourists, which means the city will be quite crowded. Visiting from mid-April to early May is best if you're hoping to take in the world famous tulips. There isn't really a bad time to see Amsterdam, so planning your trip won't be hard.
