Amsterdam tips Must-sees on a short trip to Amsterdam

If you are planning a short trip to the capital of the Netherlands, you can look forward to visiting some of the city’s many interesting sights – you’ll definitely not be bored! Amsterdam is worth a visit just to see the many canals that cross the city and define its image. In addition to a wide range of museums, countless shopping opportunities, beautiful parks, exceptional restaurants and architectural highlights in various quarters of the city, Amsterdam has a huge amount to offer. And the best thing about a trip to Amsterdam is that you can easily get to the seaside. In the coastal town of Zandvoort, just half an hour away by train, a 9km long stretch of sandy beach awaits you, perfect for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
B&B Hotel Amsterdam-Zaandam is the perfect place to stay during your city break to Amsterdam. From here, you’ll have easy access to Amsterdam’s city centre as well as the surrounding area.

Amsterdam highlights: Explore the canals on a scenic boat tour

One of the most popular highlights of a visit to Amsterdam is a canal trip. The centre of Amsterdam is encircled by a so-called ‘canal belt’. The three main canals are the Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht. They provide an opportunity to experience the city from a completely fresh perspective. There are various tour operators to choose from, depending on which of Amsterdam’s attractions you are most keen to see. Often, drinks or small snacks will be available during the journey. We recommend booking your trip in advance: this will save you both time and money. Another appealing aspect of these canal trips is that there will usually be an onboard tour guide who can provide a wealth of information about Amsterdam. During a canal trip, you’ll not only learn a lot about the city and its history, but also get some valuable insider tips, for example, which of Amsterdam’s flower markets is best to visit.
