Amsterdam is one of the prettiest cities I’ve ever been to! It really blew all my expectations. We stayed in Hampshire Hotel- Amsterdam American for 3 nights. It was a really cute hotel prime location near all the museums excellent luxury shopping and really walking distance to everything we wanted!
There are many things to do in Amsterdam! If you’re into museums I suggest visiting the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum and of course the Ann Frank Museum. The Ann Frank Museum is not like any other museum, it was so touching and really something that everyone should see and witness! The museum was beautifully put together and really got the history and message across.
Other popular things to do there is the Heineken Tour which was fun but not my favorite thing. A canal cruise is a really cute way to enjoy the scenery Amsterdam has to offer. On Viator they have many museum combo tours that offer skip the line tickets and is really reasonably priced!
We stumbled upon the Banksy museum which was really cool if you’re into graffiti art. It was one of my favorite things in Amsterdam!
Amsterdam is a walking city, so just walk around, get lost and admire all of its natural beauty!
