What to See and Do While in Amsterdam
If you're headed to Amsterdam, here are my 5 top recommendations for things to see while you're there!
Take a historical canal ride.
The water tours of Amsterdam are some of the most desired. Since there are hundreds of canals that flow throughout the nation (created just for travel!) there's no reason not to give this popular attraction a try.
During your gentle water ride, you'll get a chance to view some of the country's most detailed architecture and most beautiful landscapes. This experience is sure to be a breathtaking one!
Take a walk through the tulip fields...
Amsterdam takes great pride in its bulb flowers, especially tulips!
You'll want to visit the amazingly vibrant bulb flower park in Lisse if you wish to see the tulips in all their glory.
If you happen to miss the tulip season, don't worry -- there are plenty of bulbed flowers that grow year-round at the park, so you're sure to catch a glimpse of this gorgeous spectacle.
Explore art and history museums.
Visit one of the spectacular art or history museums!
Check out paintings by Rembrandt, Van Gogh, or other world-renowned artists, or revisit history by walking into the Anne Frank House, where you can see the secret annex where Anne hid during World War II.
There are plenty of ways to go back in time and view some of history's most intriguing places and works of art.
Discover Dutch foods!
Amsterdam is a great city to eat Dutch food and global cuisine. Between sightseeing and other extracurricular activities, be sure to find a local restaurant or snack shop serving a variety of tasty foods at all price points.
Van Speyk is a popular destination with raving reviews!
"The food here is mouthwatering. I could truly taste the care and attention they put in cooking. The service is fast and very friendly. Cozy environment by the window and plenty of room to be comfortable. 10/10 would recommend."

Remember to ask a local what foods Amsterdam is known for and which are typical Dutch cuisine. Try something new; you never know what new food you may discover here!
Visit a windmill.
Windmills used to be incredibly prevalent in the Dutch landscape, and more than 10,000 were used for industrial purposes.
They even celebrate National Windmill Day!
It's a time of the year when they decorate the windmills with flowers, figures of angels, or Dutch flags.
