Amsterdam is a great city to visit all year round, so when you visit depends on your priorities.
Spring (March-May) is the best time to travel to Amsterdam to experience tulip season and pleasant temperatures. However during peak tulip season in mid-April, there are generally more crowds and prices rise.
The busiest and most pricey months, however, are between June and August. Despite this, the warm, sunny weather makes summer the best time to go to experience outdoor activities such as canal cruises, cycling and spending time in the parks and gardens.
For budget travellers, the best time to visit is between December and February. Although you’ll need to be prepared for cold and potentially snowy weather, there are fewer crowds and various festive events.
Autumn (September-November) is the perfect middle ground, with lower prices while the weather remains pleasant.
We recommend booking flights to Amsterdam 1-2 months in advance to secure the best prices. If you are travelling during peak season, you may want to book a little further in advance.

If you’re visiting Amsterdam for the first time, we recommend staying in the Canal Belt (Grachtengordel) or Jordaan. Here you’ll get the quintessential Amsterdam experience, staying along the picturesque canalside, while also being within walking distance to many restaurants and bars.
If you’re seeking something more affordable, try Museumplein. It offers easy city access and great transport links, including a direct bus to the airport.
For a more local experience, consider De Pijp or Oost, both vibrant, residential areas with excellent dining and drinking spots.
Don’t forget to do a Moonsand search to find the best deal on your hotel.
You won’t be short of things to do in Amsterdam. We recommend starting with a walking tour to learn a bit about the city's history and culture while getting orientated. This is also a great way to get tips from a local and discover areas you wouldn’t find alone.
Afterwards, visit one of the many museums in Amsterdam. Perhaps you’ll choose to visit the Anne Frank house, explore Dutch art at the Rijksmuseum or immerse yourself in the world of Vincent van Gogh at his namesake museum.
For a unique experience, take a relaxing canal cruise, offering stunning views of the city’s historic canals and picturesque neighborhoods from a different perspective.
Don’t miss a trip to Vondelpark for some outdoor relaxation or head to the Flower Market for a colorful shopping experience. For a taste of local life, cycle through the city’s bike-friendly streets, sample traditional Dutch treats, or take a day trip to nearby attractions like Zaanse Schans and Muiden.
