How many days in rotterdam

Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities in the world.

3 days in amsterdam with family

I love its beautiful brick buildings, majestic canals, open skyline, rich history, and relaxed, easy-going attitude toward life.

Over the years, I’ve visited Amsterdam more times than I can count and have spent countless hours walking the city, making friends with locals (I briefly lived here years ago), and getting under its skin.

The city was founded in the 12th century but came into prominence during the Dutch Golden Age (1588-1672).

At that time, Amsterdam was the center of the world economy and was both an economic and cultural powerhouse.

Today, Amsterdam is one of the most popular places in the world to visit (try to avoid the summer when the crowds are a little too much).

There are so many things to do in Amsterdam that it deserves more than just the few days most travelers give it.

How should you spend your time in this world-class city?

With so much to see and do, I put together what I think is the perfect Amsterdam itinerary for you.
