About Travel to Amsterdam
Amsterdam is well connected by Schiphol Airport and by train from Paris, Brussels, and major European cities. Trams, buses, and ferries are easy to use; consider an I amsterdam City Card for transport and museums. Spring brings tulip season and higher prices; autumn is often quieter and still pleasant. Book the Anne Frank House and Van Gogh Museum early. Cycling is a great way to see the city—rent a bike or join a tour. Explore beyond the centre in Jordaan, De Pijp, and the Nine Streets, and allow time for canal cruises and cosy brown cafés.
