Hey folks, my wife and I are going to our first European trip this autumn. And we’re spending nearly 13 days in Amsterdam! Would love to have recommendations for what to see and do. Also, where are the best stroopwafels? I’ve never had one 😅

I love Amsterdam! I would suggest a canal boat tour, visiting Vondelpark, Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House (it’s heavy, so be prepared). Rent a bike and ride around (I suggest early morning when it’s a bit less crazy to get the hang of it).

Riding a bike through Vondelpark is a wonderful experience and the two museums I mentioned are right near there as well, so you can definitely make a whole day of that!

My wife built our itinerary and I believe that everything you listed is part of the plan 🤌 Our hotel is right outside Vondelpark, too! I expect frequent strolls through it during our stay.

Your hotel may have bikes to borrow/rent — many of them do.

For sure! Be aware of the sidewalks vs the bike paths — a lot of tourists end up walking in the bike paths on accident!

Oh geez! I appreciate the pro-tip. I really want to avoid being the annoying, clueless American tourists 🙈
