Top things to do in Amsterdam

Amsterdam moves at the speed of a bike — easygoing, stylish, and quietly rebellious. It’s a place where 17th-century canals hold space for record shops, indie cafés, and brown bars with better conversation than any five-star lounge.

Whether you’re in town for the museums or just hoping to catch the city in one of its golden-hour moods, your trip itinerary should fit the vibe. We cut through the noise and filtered out the fluff.

These are the top 5 activities travelers genuinely rave about.

#5 Countryside

Shared by Sarah Novak – 124 ❤️

“Windmills, Cheese, and the Art of Slowing Down. We traded city bustle for grassy fields and storybook views. Windmills turned lazily, cows posed like seasoned models, and a cheese tasting turned us all into amateur connoisseurs.”

#3 Craft Beer Tour

Shared by Felix Dunnigan – 385 ❤️

“Hops, History & Dutch Mischief. From smoky brown ales to tart saisons, we biked between breweries like true locals—slightly wobbly, deeply happy. The best way to meet the soul of a city? Taste it.”

#2 Food & Canals

Shared by Cameron Bell – 434 ❤️

“A Floating Feast to Remember. Imagine drifting past 17th-century homes while savoring wine-paired dishes—yes, it’s as magical as it sounds. Between courses, we’d glance out the window and catch reflections dancing on the water. Pure enchantment.”

#1 Van Gogh Museum

Shared by Garrick Porter – 565 ❤️

“Where Color and Emotion Collide. You don’t just view Van Gogh—you feel him. Each brushstroke, each letter from his journals, all of it a glimpse into genius. We left quieter, humbled, and deeply moved.”
