Amsterdam is an ancient city with a colourful history that's preserved in the cobbled streets, ancient buildings, and Dutch windmills. A great way to see the city is by cruise, giving you the chance to take in the sights that sit on the banks of the 17th-century canal. For sightseers who love modern architecture, the Scheepvaarthuis illustrates the classic style of the Amsterdamse School, and the recently developed EYE Film Institute is a great example of multi-functional contemporary architecture. If you are travelling with children, then Artis Royal Zoo or one of the many smaller petting zoos around the city are ideal places for little ones to let off steam.

Practical information on Amsterdam

Travel to Amsterdam

During winter the temperatures can drop to freezing with daylight only lasting an average of seven to eight hours. It can rain or snow a lot in Amsterdam over the winter, however, the city is beautiful in the snow and the many museums, cafe's and restaurants make for great shelter during rainy bursts.

Spring is a great time for those visiting the flower markets which come to life with the transition into Spring. The average temperatures are around 9° / 2° - 17° / 8° between March and May, but it's good to be prepared for spring showers as the weather can be varied and change throughout the season.

The summer months between June and September bring average temperatures of around 22° / 13°, with approximately ten rainy days each month. This makes Amsterdam a great choice for cycling and sightseeing as it rarely gets too hot.

Modern, clean and very well located hotel, the metro is 50/100 meters away. They pass two meters that lead to the center in just 15 minutes., The frequency in transport is very good. The included breakfast is a la carte, so not much food is wasted but you can order everything you want to eat., There is no limit, they do it and they prepare it right there you see it. With the tablet you handle everything until you inform that you are leaving and can move on to make the room. The hotel is the cane, the super friendly staff and I have always found one who spoke Spanish. You hit me like a drawer to leave the underwear in my case I have been a week and there is none, you leave everything visible or in the suitcase. Another thing that I want to point out that in Amsterdam taxes are expensive, lodging fees are paid when you go out and there are about 10 euros a day for two people and room.
