To some extent, this depends on what time of year it is, because there’s definitely a seasonality to tourism around Amsterdam. Here’s my best recommendations that will work most of the year.A few notes about this itinerary: 1) I’m assuming you have full mobility and can walk at least some distance. I’m really, really sorry about this, but Amsterdam is an utterly abysmal city for accessibility and I can’t do an accessible itinerary off the top of my head. Note that you can take trams and taxis are available but expensive, which cuts down on walking a bit, but you’re still going to be hoofing it. 2) I also don’t smoke so I can’t give coffeehouse recommendations etc. I’m sure there’s Internet guides to this sort of thing. 3) I’m also boring af, so nightlife is your choice. Remember Heineken is just as terrible in Amsterdam as it is where you come from, though.Day 1: Museums! Amsterdam has a wealth of them to suit every taste, so pick your favourites instead of following mine.The Rijksmuseum [1], the Van Gogh Museum [2] and the Stedelijk Museum [3] are great for lovers of classical and modern art .If you’re travelling with kids, check out the Nemo Science Museum [4]or the Allard Pierson Museum (archeology) [5].If you’re not travelling with kids, check out some of Amsterdam’s quirkier adult offerings, like the Venustempel Sex Museum [6] or the Hash, Marijuana and Hemp Museum [7].If you’re a fashion nerd, the Museum of Bags and Purses [8] is a surprisingly entertaining way to spend an hour.Of course, there are also the more serious (and sobering) museums of history, like the Anne Frank House [9] and the Museum Our Lord in the Attic [10].Today, you should eat at the cafes that surround the museums. Take your pick, but be cautious to make sure you get what you actually want. An eetcafé will serve you food and drink, while a café is usually akin to a bar. A koffiehuis is where you get coffee, and a coffeeshop is where you get marijuana (to smoke on premises).Day 2: Exploring Amsterdam’s architecture and sights.Start the morning with a trip to the floating Bloemenmarkt (Flower Market) [11] and if you like, a cheeky mid-morning pancake snack at the Old Pancake House alongside it.Take an architectural walking tour to see some of Amsterdam’s wealth of really beautiful buildings, or self-guide it. (If you do this, don’t miss the Pathé Tuschinski [12]).If you’re interested in ethnobotany or herbal drugs, visit the Azerius Smartshop [13], a reliable source of unusual and entertaining botanicals. (Warning and note: Check the import rules for your home country before trying to bring anything back. Not all of what they sell is legal in other countries, and they are pretty good at knowing this but not perfect.)Depending on the day, you may also catch one of Amsterdam’s street markets [14], your best source for everything from vintage clothing to the bike you just had stolen.Walk around the Red Light District if you like (note: be polite and don’t gawk at the girls - and definitely don’t waste their time if you’re not planning to pay for it!)If it’s raining, take a canal boat tour and enjoy the city from a heated, sitting position.Today, branch out from the café food and try some of Amsterdam’s world cuisine. The city centre is absolutely covered in South American steakhouses (mostly Argentinean), which serve really delicious pieces of cow. Alternatively, there’s Indonesian food, a remnant of the Netherlands’ colonial past. I can recommend Kantjil & de Tijgre [15]. Try the rijsttafel (the “rice table”), a selection of sharing dishes intended for a group.Day 3: Get out of the city!In spring, head to the Keukenhof [16], a brilliant seasonal garden display.Any time of year, Madurodam [17] and its miniature cityscapes is entertaining, especially for kids and other short people.There’s a lot of other stuff to do out of the city, so look around and see what you want to do.I’d suggest just eating where you are today. Try some Dutch home cooking specialities, like stamppot (their version of the cabbage-potatoes-sausages melange) or erwtensoup (a thick split pea soup).Day 4: You know there’s something that you wanted to do that you didn’t get to. Go do it. You don’t need me to guide you anymore!Footnotes[1] Rijksmuseum – The Museum of the Netherlands - in Amsterdam[2] Visit the museum about Vincent van Gogh in Amsterdam - The Netherlands - Van Gogh Museum[3] Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam[4] https://www.nemosciencemuseum.nl...[5] Allard Pierson Museum[6] Venustempel Sex Museum[7] Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum[8] Museum of Bags and Purses.
