And maybe one more tip (or warning): you will be walking a lot, so make sure you are comfortable walking 10 to 15 km per day. Alternatively, take the tram (and beware of pick-pockets)

Absolutely! Walking is the best way to get around and see the city. While I'm sure there are pickpockets, I've never seen one or heard about anyone I've met that it's happened to on public transportation in Amsterdam. Always use common sense with these things, though. Like don't keep your phone or wallet in and easy spot to snatch!

Go to Leiden, take a train, go see the Hortus Bontanicus, the Observatory, the Museum... all in Leiden.

These are great tips! I know Rick Steves does a great job warning against some of the biggest mistakes such as walking in the bike lane. One mistake I would add is only spending a day in Amsterdam whenever possible. I was only able to visit Amsterdam for a day, and I felt like I barely got my feet wet with exploring the city! Awesome video!

Living there for over 8 years, I still haven't seen everything 😂 Rick usually gives some great tips. He's one of my favorites!

Coming to Amsterdam for the first time in 14 years in 3 weeks. Very excited! Great tips. Will definitely do things outside of Amsterdam as well this time round. Also planning to do the parkrun in Amsterdamse Bos. Have you been there yet?

We will be visiting the week of Kingsday. We have an early flight out the day after Kingsday. I'm worried about the airport. Do you think Shiphol will be crowded? We didn't know about Kingsday. But we are looking forward to Kingsday.

Generally, I would say Amsterdam is safe. And certainly around any hotels like this.
