CargandoCargandoÁmsterdam se anda y se pedalea: el centro de los canales es pequeño y casi plano, y lo que de verdad pide plan son los museos. El Rijksmuseum, el Van Gogh y la Casa de Ana Frank se reservan con hora, y la de Ana Frank solo vende entradas por internet. Aquí va repartido para que las reservas marquen el día y el resto se haga a pie.

Amsterdam in one dayWhat genuinely fits in a day, in this order: the Jordaan canals first thing, while the bridges are still empty; the Rijksmuseum mid-morning with a ticket bought beforehand, because the queue without one eats the day; and Dam square at the end, where everyone ends up anyway. All of it on foot.1 day· 3 stops
Amsterdam in two daysThe centre and the canals on day one, the two big museums on day two. Book the Anne Frank House the moment you have dates: tickets are released six weeks ahead and sell out the same day.2 days· 7 stops
Amsterdam in four daysThe usual plus what almost nobody sees: the Begijnhof, hidden in the middle of the centre, Rembrandt's house, and the far side of the IJ, crossed free by ferry. The fourth day is for getting out: the Zaanse Schans windmills, or the Keukenhof if you travel between mid-March and mid-May, which is the only time it opens.4 days· 13 stops

💡The red-light district is not a theme park
De Wallen is a place where people live and work. Photographing the windows is banned and fined, and the city has spent years moving on the groups who come to gawp. You can walk through it, with the same manners as any other street.
💡Anne Frank and the Van Gogh: book or you do not get in
There is no ticket office to fall back on: both are online only, with a day and time. Anne Frank tickets are released six weeks ahead at 10:00 and go that same day. It is the first thing to do once you fix the dates, before even the hotel.
💡The bike lane is not a pavement
Bikes rule here and they move fast, without ringing and without braking. The red lane is theirs: stepping onto it while looking at your phone, or stopping for a photo, is the most common way for a visitor to end up on the ground. Look twice before you tread on red.
