   • Get lost in the arty Jordaan. Often cited as Amsterdam’s most charming neighbourhood, wandering into the Jordaan feels like stepping back in time. Originally a working-class area, the Jordaan’s narrow streets and quaint buildings now make up one of Amsterdam’s most desirable quarters, dotted with independent art galleries, antique shops, courtyard gardens and atmospheric bars and restaurants.
   • Cycle to hidden gems. There are over 800,000 bicycles in Amsterdam. That’s more bikes than people! Cycling in Amsterdam is a way of life made easier by the city’s unbeatable network of cycle routes and flat landscape.
   • Try herring from a herring cart. Raw herring may sound a little scary to the uninitiated, but every visitor to Amsterdam should give it a go. You’ll spot haringhandels (herring carts) serving up this Dutch speciality all over the city - ask for a broodje haring to get the fish served in a small sandwich with pickles and onions.
   • See windmills, countryside and beaches. If you’re in town for more than a few days, then plan a day trip to explore the diverse attractions of the surrounding area.

   • Amsterdam is not a 24/7 city. Amsterdam establishments keep very regular hours. Opening hours in shops are generally from about 10am to 6pm, and 8pm for supermarkets.
   • Pre-purchase tickets where possible. At museums and galleries, it’s best to plan for long queues – especially during the high season from June to August.
   • Book accommodation and restaurants in advance. Similarly, lodging should be secured at least four months before your trip, especially if you’re visiting during the summer or on the weekend.
   • Lock your bike… twice. Cycling is one of the most popular ways to get around Amsterdam. Most rental bikes come with two locks – it’s best to use them both!

   • Visit the Anne Frank Huis. When Germany invaded the Netherlands in May 1940, it brought war to the city for the first time in almost four centuries, devastating its thriving Jewish community.
   • Browse fine art around Museumplein. Amsterdam's top three museums are handily located around the green lawns of Museumplein. Best of them all is the Rijksmuseum.
