Travel to Amsterdam

Landing in Amsterdam soon? Here's what to know before you go.

From currency and getting around to iconic canal rings, massive world-class art museums, and the ubiquitous cycling culture, we've got the essentials covered for your trip to the Venice of the North.

Language & Currency

Official language Dutch & English Dutch is official, but English is spoken with near-native fluency by almost everyone in the city. You will have no trouble communicating anywhere
Payments Euro (€) Amsterdam is virtually a cashless city. Debit and credit cards (especially Maestro and Mastercard/Visa with PIN) are standard. Many shops do not accept cash at all

Getting Around

Fastest Bicycles & GVB Trams Biking is the ultimate way to get around; the city features world-class dedicated bike lanes. Clean, highly regular GVB trams handle the rest of your city transit
Also popular NS Trains & Metro NS trains run highly frequent schedules directly from Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam Centraal in under 20 minutes. The expanding Metro system links the outer suburbs

Top Attractions

The Canal Ring (Grachtengordel) A UNESCO-listed grid of 17th-century waterways, famously bordered by charming, narrow, leaning gabled merchant houses and stone bridges
Museumplein The cultural heart of the city, hosting the majestic Rijksmuseum (classic Dutch masters), the modern Van Gogh Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum
The Anne Frank House The powerful, sobering canal-side building containing the secret annex where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II (book months in advance!)

Events & Culture

April 27 King's Day (Koningsdag) The entire city erupts into a massive, orange-clad open-air street party, complete with continuous canal boat parades and a city-wide flea market
Cyclist Priority Look Out for Bike Paths! Bikes rule Amsterdam. Never walk on the red-asphalt paths designated for bikes, as cyclists move fast and have the absolute right of way
Year-Round Stroopwafels & Herring Savor hot, gooey caramel-filled Stroopwafels made fresh at the Albert Cuyp Market, and try a raw soused herring served with onions and pickles from a haringhandel cart
