How to Plan a Perfect Trip to Amsterdam

TripSavvy / Alisha McDarris

With its 17th century Renaissance architecture and stunning network of canals, the city of Amsterdam has Old World appeal mixed with parks, museums, restaurants, and other activities that make it a thoroughly modern city. Yes, the city's Red Light District and coffeeshop culture both are magnets for boisterous crowds, but from street markets and stroopwafels to bicycle tours, breweries, and canal tours, there are plenty of tamer activities to enjoy in this capital of the Netherlands.

Read on for when to visit, things to do, where to eat and drink, where to stay, getting there, and tips for saving money on your next visit to Amsterdam.

Planning Your Trip to Amsterdam

• Best time to visit: The most popular tourist season in Amsterdam is from April through September, when the temperatures are mild, flowers are in full bloom, and days are long, making it easier to take advantage of the city's daytime activities and vibrant nightlife on foot or by bike. But don't discount other times of the year. During the holidays, elaborate light displays on homes, businesses, and the city's canals make it a winter wonderland, while in late fall and early spring, streets and main attractions are less crowded and hotels and airfare are less expensive. For more about the weather in Amsterdam, read our seasonal guide to the city .
• Getting Around: The historic parts of Amsterdam are compact and easily walkable. The city also has an extensive public transportation network consisting of trams, ferries, buses, and metros, which all use the same public transport chip card  ( OV-chipkaart ). Bicycles, residents' transit of choice, are also available for rent at several outfitters throughout the city.
• Travel Tips: Because of its location on the North Sea, Amsterdam is notorious for its frequent rain showers and temperature shifts, so come prepared with closed-toed, water-resistant shoes and a waterproof jacket, hat, or umbrella (or all of the above!). Note that currently, citizens of the European Union, United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand do not need a visa if visiting for three months or less as long as they have a valid passport.

Things to Do

From museums and historical sites like the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Anne Frank House to parks, street markets, canal and bicycle tours, and the rich culinary history of its multicultural residents, Amsterdam has a variety of activities to occupy visitors.

While the city has dozens of attractions, here are the can't miss ones:

• Take an evening canal cruise . Declared a UNESCO heritage site in 2010, the city's network of 165 canals provide a unique vantage point for viewing Amsterdam's most notable architecture, from the historic homes that ring the most central canals to the modern buildings along the Amstel River. From November through January, the city presents the annual Amsterdam Light Festival, with dozens of art installations from renowned Dutch and international artists in and along the water.
• Tour the Anne Frank House . See the secret annex where Anne Frank, her family, and four others hid during World World II as well as entries from her famous diary and other moving remnants of the impact of her short life and the horrors of Nazi occupation in this museum on Prinsengracht. Note that entry is ticketed and must be secured a few months in advance, so plan ahead.
• View the work of the Dutch masters at the Rijksmuseum . With works from Vermeer to Van Gogh to Rembrandt, this museum houses the largest collection of Dutch and Flemish art in the country. Follow your visit with a picnic on the Museumplein or stops at the adjacent Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum of contemporary art, or the Concertgebouw, the city's performing arts hall.

What to Eat and Drink

From traditional local dishes like stroopwafels, raw herring, and pancakes to international imports like Indonesian Rijsttafel ("rice table," or a meal with several small plates), Indian, and more, Amsterdam's food scene is varied and offers something for every taste.

To sample the best of the city, visit De Foodhallen , which has over 20 food stalls offering everything from Dutch bitterballen (deep-fried beef smothered in breadcrumbs) and hot dogs with sauerkraut to Spanish pintxos, Vietnamese banh mi, and Indian street food. Don't miss the spot's gin and tonic bar, or sip on the unofficial city drink at Razmataz, which offers 50 different variations on the classic. To learn about gin's predecessor and the native spirit of the Netherlands, genever, visit the House of Bols distillery and museum.

Visit one of the 250-plus food stalls at Albert Cuyp Market in the De Pijp neighborhood, for stroopwafel, fresh herring, produce, flowers, and other goods, then stop into nearby Glou Glou for natural wines and snacks like cheese, bread, and more. For rijsttafel, try Blauw Indonesian south of Vondelpark or Sampurna on the Singel canal in Jordaan. Beer lovers will want to tour the Heineken Experience or visit Brouwerij 't IJ , an organic brewery located next to a working windmill.

Where to Stay

Amsterdam has a variety of accommodations, from five-star hotels to budget-friendly hostels. The most convenient and expensive options are in the inner canal belt, which is bordered by Amsterdam Centraal to the north and the Museum District to the south. Options range from luxury boutique hotels like the Kimpton DeWitt, Canal House, and the Pulitzer Amsterdam to standard chains like the Hyatt Regency, the Marriott, and the Hilton. For more affordable hotels, Oud Zuid (Amsterdam South) as well as De Wallen (Red Light District) in the east offer hostels, Air BNBs, and reliable brands like Hilton and Marriott.

To help you narrow down your choices, we've rounded up the top hotels in Amsterdam .

Getting There

Over 108 airlines fly to and from over 300 destinations worldwide to Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, which is Europe's third busiest by passenger volume, a KILM hub, and located about 11 miles (19 kilometers) southwest of the city. Amsterdam Centraal train station is about a 15-20 minute ride from the airport. A one-way fare is 5.50 euros, which includes a 1 euro surcharge for a disposable ticket. Fares for the seven-minute ride to Amsterdam Zuid (south part of the city) are 3.80 euros, and from there, you can connect via the city's metro system to other parts of town.

Taxis are also readily available at the airport, with fares into the city center averaging between 45-50 euros, as are rideshares like Uber.

Amsterdam is also a short train ride from other points in Europe, like Paris (3:18 via Thalys), London (3:55 via Eurostar), and Cologne (2:38 via ICE international railways).

Culture & Customs

• Bicycles are a huge part of Amsterdam's culture and often outnumber cars. Avoid standing or walking in designated bike lanes.
• Restaurant service is different than in the United States. As is common in Europe, service is slower, and you will often have to flag down wait staff to place an order or ask for a check.
• Tipping is optional at restaurants, as service is built into prices, but if you want to leave extra, rounding up to the nearest Euro or up to 10 percent of the total bill is appreciated.
• There is a difference between a "coffeeshop" and a coffee shop or café. A coffeeshop (no space) is a place that sells marijuana and related products, while a coffee shop or café is where one sips coffee.
• Photos are forbidden in the Red Light District to protect the identities of the workers.

Money-Saving Tips

• Purchase an I amsterdam City Card . Available for 24 (50 euros), 48 (80 euros), and 72 (93 euros) hour periods, the card includes a city map, free canal cruise, and free access to top museums like Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Stedelijk Museum.
• Pack a picnic for a park. From the 120-acre Vondelpark in Amsterdam-Zuid to Oosterpark, the city's first planned park, Amsterdam offers ample green spaces perfect for a picnic. Shop at nearby markets and food stalls to save money on expensive sit-down meals.
• Take advantage of the Last Minute Ticket Shop , which offers same-day, deep discounts to local theatre productions, comedy shows, and concerts starting at 10 a.m.
• Walk, bike, or utilize public transportation. Taxis and rideshares can be expensive, so explore the city on foot, via its extensive public transportation network, or as the locals do: by bike.
• Purchase an unlimited one, two, three, or seven-day tram pass, starting at 2.50 euros for children and 7.50 euros for adults for a single day of rides.
• Book a hotel or hostel outside of the city center. De Pijp, Plantagebuurt, and Haarlem are all neighborhoods that offer high quality, but less expensive accommodations and easy access to public transportation.

• Travelling to Amsterdam

Traveling from US to Amsterdam – Things to know before

Before traveling from the US to Amsterdam, it’s advisable to find out as much as you can, prior to boarding your flight to Schiphol, especially if you are planning a short stay. For a long stay, you have more time to benefit from the advice of the folk on the ground—local residents and expats.

Passport and Visa

You do not need a Visa to visit the Netherlands if the length of your stay will be less than 90 days. Your passport must be valid for three months beyond your departure from the Netherlands. (Note that the Schengen area, in general, requests 6 months passport validity beyond departure from the region.) To stay longer that 90 days, make sure that the information you receive is correct and official.

Best time to visit Amsterdam

You may think that summer is the most favourable time to visit Amsterdam. However, there is one thing you will need to contend with then. You guessed it—the crowds. If sunny days and the beaches are important to you, then there are ways to circumvent long lines and heavy traffic. Start your day early, or, alternatively, start out late. Many visitors do find many advantages, however, in waiting till winter or spring.

Winter in Amsterdam

In winter, Amsterdam is refreshing both indoors and out. Between the museums, ice-skating rinks, and wonderful eateries, you won’t run out of activities. The Festival of Lights between November and January, is not to be missed.

Springtime in Amsterdam

Almost anything you do during the summer, can be enjoyed during spring. What you can only do during springtime, is to enjoy the tulip season , especially Keukenhof , which is closed during the other nine months of the year!

Where to stay in Amsterdam

There is no shortage of accommodation in Amsterdam. The trick is to find what you are looking for in terms of price range. The following is a list of sites that you can peruse:

• Luxury accommodation
• Where to stay when you’re on a tight budget
• Weird and wonderful accommodation
• A houseboat hotel at Hotelschip Gandalf

Getting around Amsterdam

Modes of transportation are many and varied.

1. If you can’t lick ’em, join them

We’re talking about bicycles. They seem to grow on trees in Amsterdam. There’s no need to defend yourself against the onslaught of bikes. Rent one yourself. Bike City is a company in the central Jordaan district. They rent bicycles that do not scream out, “I am a tourist!”. However, do learn the rules of the road before you set out. If you prefer touring with a group, look into bicycle tours of the city, for example, Mike’s Bike Tours .

2. Hop-on, hop-off canal bus

An excellent way of touring Amsterdam, with no time constraints, is to purchase a 24-hour ticket on the canal bus . Embark and disembark, between sightseeing and relaxing on a canal boat.

3. Trains, trams, and buses.

Amsterdam boasts a super-organised transportation system, making it very easy to get around without having to look for parking. It is not overly challenging to find out how to get from A to B. Various passes and discounts are available, and the 9292 site is a great source of help.

You won’t starve in Amsterdam

Whatever your taste in food or drinks, you’ll find it in Amsterdam. Many eateries have their own special ambiance, with their histories, décor, chef’s choices, international cuisine, locations, and entertainment. But one thing is clear. You must experience some Dutch cuisine while visiting. Don’t leave without tasting oliebollen, poffertjes, Dutch herring, and stroopwafel. Some of these delights can also be purchased at street stalls, bakeries, and specialty food stores.

Tip : If you’re looking for coffee, don’t head out to a coffeeshop (koffiehuis). Your cookies may be laced with cannabis. For coffee and beer, enjoy one of the many cafés in Amsterdam, many of which are on terraces, or alongside canals.

Holly Mow “Amazing service! My first day in Brussels with my friend and our hostel pointed this site out. Figured it would be useful to find out locations if nothing else but Viva's went beyond that. Our tour was enjoyable with enthusiasm and fun facts and by the end it felt as if we’d only been walking 30mins! Time flies when you’re having fun, this is true for Viva Brussels!”

Vlad Olteanu “I booked a tour in Brussels and it was really interesting, we got insights on the landscapes and also on the history of Belgium. Our guide was a very good one, with many useful tips for tourists. I recommend booking a tour!!!”

Amy MacDonald “Fantastic Service! Great tours, great info – covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time. Glad we got a booking for Bruxelles and learned about the city, Leopold the terrible…! Stellar view at the end and finished near the museums so we got to fit those in too! Thank you! Merci!”

Mohamed Eid “I think this a great services, we found one of the best Tours ever to me in Europe…our guide was very organised and his way was full of excitement..Thanks Yasser to much you showed Brussels how it is such a nice and an attractive city !!”

VIVA Cruises becomes the only river line operating with no winter break

VIVA Cruises/fleet (travel brand owned by Scylla ) started its 2022 season with two Rhine River voyages, which returned to homeport Dusseldorf (Germany North Rhine-Westphalia) on January 24.

With these sailings, VIVA becomes the only river cruise company operating every single month of the year with no winter break.

VIVA Cruises ( fleet ) is running new cultural, art, and wellness-themed voyages from January through March this year with the riverboats VIVA Tiara , VIVA Moments , and Swiss Ruby .

• VIVA Tiara has 13 scheduled departures of her 4-night “Arts, Culture and Culinary Delights” until March 2022, which will be visiting the port cities of Antwerp (Belgium) , Amsterdam (Netherlands) , and Rotterdam (Netherlands) .
• VIVA Moments is running a pair of different 4-night itineraries along the Rhine River focused on relaxation and wellness - Wellness trip Middle Rhine & Wellness trip Rhine-Main – all of which are roundtrips from Dusseldorf.
• Finally, the 88-passenger Swiss Ruby is offering a series of 7-night “Crime cruises” to Dusseldorf and Berlin (Germany) .

The rest of the fleet will be starting the season in March 2022.

Andrea Kruse, COO of VIVA Cruises, said they were delighted that their new themed cruises were being so well received by international customers.

"Not taking a big winter break was absolutely the right decision for us. Many guests want to travel from January to March and VIVA Cruises gives them just that option.”

All VIVA cruises feature the signature VIVA All-Inclusive product, which includes full board, snacks, minibar, high-quality alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages, Wi-Fi, beauty products from the luxury cosmetic brand Rituals, all tips and gratuities.

Amsterdam: Public transport tickets & Passes Overview, current prices (2024)

Whether you are looking for a single ticket, a day pass or an Amsterdam Travel Card, here you will find all the information you need. In this guide we present the most important tickets for visitors. So you can easily find the right ticket for your stay in Amsterdam.

Important information about buying tickets:

• You cannot buy tickets on buses and trams from the driver.
• Many of the tickets are available online and can be purchased before your trip. You will find more information below.
• Almost all public transport in Amsterdam is organized under the tariff system of the municipal transport company GVB “Gemeente Vervoer Bedrijf”. This makes it much easier for passengers, as a day ticket is valid on the metro, trams and GVB buses.

#1 Single rides with the OV chip card / “e-purse” or OVpay

If you are staying in amsterdam for a longer period of time but do not want to use public transport very often.

A charger for the OV-chip card – credit card fees may apply (image: travelguide.amsterdam)

The OV card / e-purse system is not that simple, especially if you don’t visit the Netherlands often.

How does the OV card / e-purse work?

The OV card works like a prepaid cellphone card. You can load the card with a certain amount of money at a machine and then use it up.

For a single ride, you will pay a fixed base price plus a set amount per kilometer driven. Thus, you are paying for the distance traveled. The distance is measured exactly every 50 metres and charged accordingly. There is no such thing as a classic one-way ticket , which costs a certain amount regardless of the distance travelled (flat rate). The OV chip card / e-purse can be used in trams, buses, as well as the Metro.

• Every passenger over the age of 4 must have a chip card.
• The card must be topped up with at least €4 before each journey to ensure that there are sufficient funds to cover the fare.

E-purse – prices

A rechargeable and anonymous chip card, without personalisation with a passport-type photo, costs €7.50 (without adding credit). There is a €2.50 service charge for withdrawing any remaining balance.

Standard fare: base price: €1.08 per trip plus 19.6 cents per kilometer traveled

Children (4–11 years) get a discounted fare: base price: 71 cents per trip plus 12.9 cents per kilometer traveled

Another payment system was introduced in 2023: OVpay. You can pay for a single journey on local public transport directly with your credit or debit card. All you have to do is present your payment card to a scanner when boarding and alighting. The fare will be automatically debited from your account.

Paying with OVpay – important information:

• You must always check in and out with the sa me bank card. Otherwise, the billing system will not be able to determine the correct fare.
• For single journeys, you will need a separate payment card for each passenger.
• In addition to the fares, credit card or exchange rate fees may also apply.
• A journey with an age discount (e.g. children’s fare) is not yet possible with OVpay.
• Don’t forget to check out with your payment card when you get off the bus. The fare depends on the distance traveled. If you do not check out, you will be charged an incorrect, usually higher fare.
• There is no daily limit, as there is in London. This means that you can pay significantly more per day with OVpay than with a day ticket (see below).

#2 GVB single day ticket or multi-day-ticket: Easy & affordable – ideal for visitors & tourists – optional Airport Express bus

Cheap & easy: the single-day-ticket with a validity of 1 – 7 days. Buy online and save time and stress in Amsterdam.

GVB single and multi-day tickets are popular with visitors to Amsterdam. They are easy to use and affordable.

What does this ticket offer?

• This ticket gives you unlimited travel on all GVB trams, city buses and the metro (day and night) throughout Amsterdam and you don’t have to keep an eye on your balance like you do with the e-purse.
• It is flexible in terms of time. Tickets are available for a single day and for up to 7 days , from 24 to 168 hours. The clock starts ticking at the time of first use.
• There is a day ticket, especially for children aged 4 to 11. The kids’ ticket is only valid for a single day. You can purchase more than one child’s day ticket if required.
• You can buy the ticket online before your trip (no surcharge – click here) .
• This ticket is not valid for other regional bus companies, such as Connexxion or EBS, or in trains of the Dutch railway company NS

GVB Day Ticket + Airport Transfer Schiphol Airport ↔ City Centre

→ You can find more information about the Amsterdam Travel Ticket here

→ More information about the various options for airport transfers, including travel times and prices

Current prices for GVB day and multiple-day tickets

Prices are at the lower end for a European city. The longer the validity, the lower the price per day.

Fares (2024) :

Children’s ticket (4–11 years) for 1 day / 24h: €4.50 – multiple tickets can be purchased for longer stays.

Standard fare:

1 day / 24h: €9 2 days / 48h: €15 3 days / 72h: €21 4 days / 96h: €26.50 5 days / 120h: €33 6 days / 144h: €37.50 7 days / 168h: €41 (€5.85 per day)

Our tip: buy online to save time and stress You can buy your ticket online before your trip via the English-language website of the authorised GVB ticket seller without having to pay a surcharge (click here) . This will save you stress later, as you won’t have to deal with the fare system and ticket machines after your flight. If you are travelling via Schiphol Airport, you can also buy the Amsterdam Travel Ticket online (day ticket for local transport + airport transfer by express bus or train).

GVB Ticket Child

Children aged 0-3 travel free on Amsterdam’s public transport. For children between 4 and 11 years of age, the GVB children’s day ticket is available at a reduced price.

Children aged 0–3 years can use public transport in Amsterdam free of charge. There is a reduced day ticket for children between the ages of 4 and 11. It currently (2024) costs €4.50. There is no multi-day pass for children.

If you need a children’s ticket for several days, the easiest way is to buy several one-day children’s tickets. You can buy GVB children’s day tickets online together with adult tickets.

Where is the GVB day ticket valid?

The GVB day ticket is valid on the entire GVB tram, underground and bus network.

→ Map / city map Amsterdam: GVB day ticket coverage

If your destination or accommodation is outside the validity area, you might be interested in the Amsterdam Region Travel Ticket (see below). This ticket is valid for the entire region around Amsterdam.

# 3 Amsterdam & Region Travel Ticket: Trips around Amsterdam + airport transfer included

The Amsterdam & Region Travel Ticket entitles you to:

• Unlimited use of all GVB streetcars, city buses, metro (day and night) and ferries . This allows you to travel within the city of Amsterdam in the same way as the GVB Day Ticket (see above).
• In addition, you can also use the buses of the Connexxion and EBS companies . These bus companies serve destinations outside the Amsterdam city area. The GVB day ticket (see above) is not valid on these buses. This also includes the Airport Express Bus 397 (shuttle bus to the airport) .
• Trains  in the Amsterdam region with the national railroad company NS are included.

You can buy this ticket before your trip via the GVB authorized ticket portal (click here) . This will save you time and stress during your stay in Amsterdam.

Current prices for the Amsterdam & Region Travel Ticket (2024)

With the Amsterdam & Region Travel Ticket you can travel in a much larger area than with a GVB day pass. Therefore the price is higher.

I was a tourist in Amsterdam and lived in the DAM square area from 28th September 2019 to 1st October 2019. I request you to please issue a 12 hour ticket for 4.0 Euro. The 24 hour ticket which I bought for 8 Euro becomes a bit redundant since trams are not there in the late hours up to early morning. We usually party till about 2 am and then the walk back from Bull Dog Palace at Leidseplein Square to Dam Square becomes arduous and dangerous since we are not in our senses. I used line 2, 14, 24 and 26 extensively during our stay there.

good information

Liebes Amsterdam Travel Guide Team,

erstmal Kompliment! Sehr gute Seite mit hilfreichen und übersichtlichen Informationen.

Wo finde ich eine Liste aller Teilnehmer wie Geschäfte, Kultureinrichtungen und Restaurants usw. die den 25% Rabatt durch die I Amsterdam Karte geben? Gibt es eventuell eine App oder ähnliches um auch die Standorte auf einer Karte zu sehen und eine gute Reise Route finden zu können? Falls nicht, wie kann ich Teilnehmer herausfinden? Oder muss ich in jedem Laden vor Ort einzeln nachfragen?

Vielen Dank im voraus! 🌷

Hallo Egga, vielen Dank für Dein Kompliment. Das ist eine tolle Motivation, weiter an unserem Reiseführer zu arbeiten.

Es gibt eine App “I amsterdam city card” für Apple und Android Geräte. Diese kann man nach dem Kauf herunterladen und sieht dann alle teilnehmenden Geschäfte / Restaurants.

Viel Spaß in Amsterdam!

4-Nächte KREUZFAHRT AN BORD DER VIVA ONE

Auszeit in Amsterdam

• REISEVERLAUF
• TERMINE UND PREISE

Prinsengracht, die „9 Straatjes“, Kalverstraat, das Rijksmuseum, die Heineken Brauerei oder ein etwas abseitiger Abstecher in „Oud Zuid“, eines der schönsten Stadtviertel Amsterdams, bei dem man aufgrund der zahlreichen Herrenhäuser, Boutiquen und Cafés sofort umziehen möchte. Ganze zwei Tage haben Sie Zeit, die vielen Highlights der holländischen Metropole für sich zu entdecken. Danach geht es weiter nach Rotterdam. Die Stadt ist seit dem Wiederaufbau nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg für sein futuristisch-modernes Stadtbild berühmt. Ob die Kubushäuser, die Erasmusbrücke oder die vielen Wolkenkratzer – in der Liste der architektonisch aufregendsten Städte der Welt rangiert Rotterdam zurecht weit oben. Schliesslich machen wir am vierten Tag einen Abstecher nach Nijmegen, wo Sie durch die schöne Innenstadt schlendern und die Seele baumeln lassen können, bevor es am Abend zurück nach Düsseldorf geht.

Ausschiffung nach dem Frühstück.

Rheinisches Lebensgefühl zwischen Tradition und Moderne – Düsseldorf begeistert mit Vielfalt! Hier geraten Kunst- und Kulturfreunde genauso ins Schwärmen wie Shopping-Enthusiasten, hier beeindruckt der Medienhafen mit zeitgenössischer Architektur ebenso wie die historische Altstadt. Die Altstadt macht Düsseldorf mit mehr als 250 gemütlichen Kneipen zur „längsten Theke der Welt“. Dort schmeckt nicht nur das traditionelle Altbier! Nicht fehlen darf ein Bummel über die Königsallee, die weltbekannte Flaniermeile – oder doch lieber ein Besuch auf einem der zahlreichen sympathischen Flohmärkte? Und mittendrin: ganz viel Grün und der Rhein mit seiner Uferpromenade, um mal so richtig durchzuatmen. Kein Wunder, dass die VIVA-Cruises-Familie sich hier so richtig wohlfühlt!

Amsterdam gehört zu denjenigen Städten, die jeder Reisende mindestens einmal in seinem Leben besucht haben sollte. Kein Wunder, strömen jedes Jahr Abermillionen Touristen in die Stadt an den Grachten, um die Flut an Sehenswürdigkeiten und kulturellen Angeboten zu genießen. Am besten lässt sich Amsterdam bei einer Bootsfahrt über die Grachten oder einem Spaziergang entlang der einzigartigen Kanäle entdecken. Kunstliebhaber wird es sofort in eines der weltberühmten Museen, wie das Rijksmuseum, das Stedelijk Museum oder das Van Gogh Museum ziehen. Partypeople werden ihr Glück im Ausgeh- und Rotlichtviertel De Wallen finden. Und Biertrinker dürfen keineswegs die Heineken Experience versäumen.

Die Hafenstadt Rotterdam liegt in den Niederlanden und zählt zu den interessantesten Orten der Welt. Daran ist die moderne Architektur erheblich mit beteiligt. Zu den beeindruckenden Sehenswürdigkeiten gehört die hufeisenförmige Markthalle mit dem riesigen Warenangebot und dem bunten Treiben. Im alten Hafen mit dem markanten weissen Haus sind historische Schiffe zu bestaunen. Zum Bummeln, Shoppen und Feiern lockt die Einkaufsmeile Witte de Withstraat. Der futuristisch anmutende Hauptbahnhof, die Tüte, lädt ebenfalls zum Kneipenbummel und Einkaufen ein.

Die älteste Stadt der Niederlande versprüht mit vergiebelten Häuschen, kleinen Käselädchen und Köstlichkeiten auf dem „Grote Markt“ urholländisches Flair. In den schmalen Gassen gehen Gestern und Heute Hand in Hand. Daher sollte ein Besuch der gotischen St. Stevenskerk inklusive Grabkeller ebenso wie das Schlendern über die Einkaufsstrasse „Lange Hezelstraat“ auf dem Sightseeing-Plan stehen. Bei frisch frittierten Kibbelingen im winterlichen Kronenburgerpark lässt sich danach perfekt pausieren.
