StreetlyAmsterdam: canals, museums and a city on two wheels
Amsterdam is compact and very walkable. Its 17th-century canals are a World Heritage site, and its museums require planning: book in advance.
Canals and the Jordaan
Stroll along the concentric canals and through the Jordaan, with small shops, cafés and historic houses. Early morning is the best time.

Museums with booked entry
The Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House often sell out: book online ahead of time.
By bike, with care
The bike is the local means of transport. Respect the bike lanes and be careful when crossing them on foot.
Markets and the free ferry
The Albert Cuyp market is a popular stop for food. Behind Central Station there are free ferries to Amsterdam Noord.
