Citizens of European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries do not need a visa to enter The Netherlands, only a valid ID. Many other countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and New Zealand, benefit from visa-free entry for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. 

Visitors from visa-exempt countries must hold a valid passport and, starting in late 2025, will need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorisation online before travelling. 

For those requiring a visa, such as travellers from some Middle-East, African or Asian nations, a Schengen visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All travellers should ensure their passport is valid for at least three months beyond their intended stay.

Passport & Visa

Most tourists tend to plan their trip to Amsterdam for the summer, so if you want to avoid the crowds — come in April–May or September. You'll get mild temperatures, blooming flowers in spring and golden trees in autumn. 

Be ready for rain regardless of the season. April and May are considered part of peak tourist season. Locals use websites like buie.nl to predict when the weather down to minutes.

Summer is high tourist season in Amsterdam, so be prepared to wait in long lines when visiting popular attractions. The summer months are also the most expensive when it comes to accommodation.

Hotel prices and tourist population drop in autumn and winter months, as does the temperature. This is the best time to visit Amsterdam's many indoor attractions, such as museums and cafes. The city covered with a white blanket of snow is a marvellous sight. If the winter happens to be particularly cold, you can ice-skate on the frozen canals. Some cafes set tables and chairs straight on the ice.

https://d1taxzywhomyrl.cloudfront.net/s3/ag-images-eu/14/fa379be849d0cbb78e87483d1c349048.jpg

Best Time to Visit

Public transport is the perfect way to visit all the attractions and to explore the city. Visitors arriving by car are advised to park the car at the Park and Ride sites at the city limits and to use public transport. 

In Amsterdam, 15 tram lines, 33 bus lines, 10 ferry connections and 5 metro lines take you to a wide range of destinations throughout the city. The most convenient transport ticket is the GVB day or multi-day ticket. These tickets entitle holders to transport on all GVB lines, including the night buses, and are available at GVB Tickets & Info and tourist offices. Drivers and conductors also sell 1-hour and 24-hour disposable OV chip cards on trams and buses. No cash is accepted on buses or trams.

Public Transport

Taxis can be handy when travelling to and from the airport, late at night when the trams have stopped running or when you're running late. Depending on the traffic during peak times, however, public transport may get you there even quicker. Just hail a taxi, or catch one at the designated cab-stands near tourist hotspots such as Dam square, Leidseplein and the Rembrandtplein.

Uber operates in Amsterdam.

https://d1taxzywhomyrl.cloudfront.net/s3/ag-images-eu/17/e375721a8b5dad4b9977f10146056503.jpg

Taxi

At the main post office, you can phone, fax (retro!), buy maps and stamps, in addition to the usual services.

In the Netherlands, there is a distinction between drug stores (‘drogist’) and pharmacies (‘apotheek’). 

Dutch drug stores (‘drogist’) are consumer-focused shops that stock most of what you need for your health although you cannot get items with a prescription here, typically. Popular brands are Kruidvat, Etos, Hema, DA, DIO and Trekpleister. You won’t find prescription drugs here

Pharmacies (‘apotheek’) are typically open during regular business hours. Dam Apotheek is centrally located on Dam Square and DA Apotheek on Leisestraat has one of the best opening hours. OLVG (Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis) hospital is good for emergencies and has a 24-hour pharmacy. There’s also a pharmacy within Amsterdam Central Station that’s open late.

Call the central number for pharmacies to find out which ones are open in your area.

With its characteristic canals (UNESCO World Heritage) surrounded by narrow, low, and crooked 17th-century houses, Amsterdam is, undoubtedly, one of the most charming capital cities in Europe. The rich cultural life and a wide range of entertainment make Amsterdam a full-scale city which has managed to retain its small-town feel. With over 50 museums, of which many are famous across the globe, this city is a real treat for art lovers: highlights include the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum.

The Rijksmuseum is the largest and most important museum in the Netherlands. It boasts a collection of nearly 8,000 pieces spread over 80 galleries.

The Jordaan is a neighbourhood of the city centre of Amsterdam, west of Prinsengracht canal. Originally a working-class neighbourhood, the Jordaan has become one of the most expensive, upscale and desirable locations in the country. It is home to gorgeous historical residential buildings with cute hofjes (inner courtyards), numerous modern art galleries, speciality shops, cafes and restaurants.

Rembrandt spent the last years of his life in the Jordaan, on the Rozengracht canal. The Anne Frank House is located on the edge of the Jordaan, on the Prinsengracht canal.

Many houses in the Jordaan have a stone tablet on their facade, displaying the profession or family sign of the inhabitants, such as scissors for tailors and a piglet for butchers. See how many you can spot!

It presents his paintings, sketchbooks and letters, and documents the evolution of his art, reflecting on themes like love and hope, anxiety and suffering. This venue also highlights his influence on other artists, making it a beacon for art lovers worldwide.

Moco Museum packs big-name modern and contemporary art into the 1904 Villa Alsberg, a townhouse steps from the Rijksmuseum. Since 2016, its intimate (if somewhat cramped) rooms have showcased Banksy, Basquiat and Kusama alongside rising stars, all sourced from private collections. The permanent Banksy exhibition shares space with rotating shows, while the gift shop peddles cheeky art merch. Expect queues for Yayoi Kusama’s infinity rooms or Warhol’s pop pieces; early mornings or late afternoons ease the squeeze. More accessible than scholarly, it’s ideal for art newcomers or those short on time.

Nxt Museum pioneers Amsterdam’s digital art frontier, where immersive installations dissolve the lines between technology and human perception. Housed in a repurposed industrial space, it commissions large-scale works that interrogate AI, virtual worlds and machine-driven realities. Past exhibitions have explored themes like fluid identities in digital realms ("UFO—Unidentified Fluid Other"), the impact of surveillance tech ("Shifting Proximities"), and kinetic sculptures that react to human movement ("Life in a Different Resolution").

The museum’s ever-evolving programming, from pulsating data sculptures to algorithm-generated soundscapes, demands active participation, not passive viewing. Recent shows like "Still Processing" warp light and sound to challenge how we interpret visual information. Ideal for tech-curious visitors, though those craving traditional art might find it jarring.

STRAAT Museum redefines the gallery experience inside a spacious warehouse at Amsterdam’s NDSM wharf, reachable via a free ferry from Centraal Station. Inside, over 180 monumental works by 170 global artists (including Eduardo Kobra’s towering Anne Frank mural) were created on-site, preserving the spontaneity of outdoor graffiti. The raw, industrial space lets you watch artists at work during rotating exhibitions.

Unlike traditional museums, STRAAT embraces street art’s rebellious roots: massive stencils by Banksy-esque provocateurs share space with hidden tags. The café serves gluten-free treats, and the gift store stocks affordable prints. Post-visit, explore NDSM’s open-air murals that blur the line  between museum and street art.

The Singel Flower Market is one of Amsterdam’s most colourful attractions. The small shops are located inside a row of floating barges — a holdover from the days when the flowers arrived in Amsterdam every day from the countryside by boat. At the flower market you’ll find tulips of every colour, either in bouquets or as bulbs to plant at home. If you plan to buy bulbs to take out of the country, be sure they have a "customs cleared" stamp on the packet so you won’t have trouble at the border.
