Avoid the peak season.
Summer is undoubtedly a vibrant and exciting time to visit Amsterdam, but it’s also when the city gets incredibly crowded, making it hard to appreciate its charm. To fully savor your journey, we suggest waiting for the shoulder season, when you can relish Amsterdam’s splendor more peacefully. For example, spring is an ideal time to plan day trips, as nature blossoms, the weather is pleasant, and the number of visitors is relatively low, allowing you a more immersive experience.
