Amsterdam
Canals, bikes and a nightlife reputation that's partly deserved.
Travellers come here for nightlife, culture, meeting people and food.
When to go
Aim for July, August and June. Think twice about November, December and October — the wettest stretch of the year.
| Month | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High | 8°C46°F | 9°C48°F | 12°C54°F | 15°C59°F | 18°C64°F | 21°C70°F | 23°C73°F | 23°C73°F | 20°C68°F | 16°C61°F | 11°C52°F | 8°C46°F |
What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.
Eating
824 places to eat and drink are mapped within walking distance of the centre — 449 restaurants, 132 cafés and 241 bars and pubs. 94% carry no chain or brand operator.
Of the 358 that record what they serve, the most common are:
- italian 44
- thai 20
- indian 18
- chinese 17
- indonesian 17
- japanese 17
69 record vegetarian options and 39 record vegan ones.

Getting there
The airport is AMS. Amsterdam is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
