Day 1
- Canal Ring, Jordaan, and Evening Cruise (Amsterdam Canal Ring)
Walk the Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht, then wander the Jordaan and the Nine Streets (Negen Straatjes) shops. Anne Frank House tickets are sold online only, in timed slots that sell out weeks ahead, so book before you go. After dark, take a small open-boat canal cruise, which fits under the low bridges that big glass-top boats skip. Tip: red asphalt is a bike lane, so check both ways before stepping off the curb.
Day 2
- Museum Quarter and De Pijp (Museumplein)
Book timed entries for the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum and split them: one in the morning, one after lunch. In between, walk about ten minutes to De Pijp and eat around Albert Cuyp Market (closed Sundays). Finish with an evening stroll through Vondelpark. Tip: trams from Centraal Station reach Museumplein in about 15 minutes.
Day 3
- Amsterdam by Bike or Zaanse Schans (Amsterdam City Centre)
Rent a bike for a loop past Dam Square and Nieuwmarkt out to the modern architecture of the Eastern Islands, or take the short train ride to Zaandijk Zaanse Schans for windmills and wooden houses, arriving early to beat the tour buses. Tip: lock your bike frame to a fixed rack, never just the front wheel.
