There’s a never ending selection of things to do in and around Amsterdam whether you’re visiting for the weekend or a fortnight.

Things to do

Get a taste of what to see and do in Amsterdam. There is also much to see and do if you are travelling with children. Many of the attractions and experiences are covered by the I-amsterdam City Card – a handy visitor pass which gets you free entry to dozens of museums and attractions, plus free public transport for the duration of your stay.

Exploring the city

Each area of Amsterdam has its own character and charm, and its own unique variety of shops, restaurants, cafes, museums and attractions. Try out Amsterdam Noord! A free ferry from behind Central Station will take you there in minutes.

Public Transport

Travelling within Amsterdam by public transport is straightforward and convenient. The extensive network connects the city’s neighbourhoods by train, tram, metro, bus and ferry.
Before seeing the sights, you may wish to consult the 9292 route planner or GVB website to help you find the quickest and most convenient way to get from A to B. And you can buy a ticket online in advance.

Bicycles

There are several shops where you can rent bicycles nearby but only Bike rental Muiderpoort is open on sunday as well. They have multiple types of bikes available for rent. It is possible to book your bike online and pick it up at any of our 14 locations in Amsterdam.

The Amsterdam area

You might want to explore the Amsterdam area. Check out the famous windmills at Kinderdijk or the Zaanse Schans.

With the Holland Travel Ticket you can travel 1 day in train, bus, tram and metro throughout the Netherlands. It grants unlimited access to all public transport, including train, tram, bus and metro, in Holland for an entire day.

Visit the Keukenhof

Each spring, the Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse come alive with blooming flowers in every colour of the rainbow. As 7 million flower bulbs bloom over 32 hectares, the park is awash with the sight and scent of blossoming flowers.

Leave some time to explore the surrounding area with its fields of flowers by hiring a bike,  take a 100% electric GPS tour and join the fun or taking a boat cruise.

Urban beaches

On a sunny summerday check out one of Amsterdams urban beaches.

Anne Frank House

A visit to the Anne Frank House is an unforgettable experience. But tickets are hard to get. There is a limited amount of tickets for sale online so make sure you book well in advance.

Noordermarkt

On Monday mornings the Noordermarkt is home to a small but delightful flea market. On Saturdays, a popular organic farmers’ market is held at the Noordermarkt.
