Beating Venice in the canal stakes, cities really don’t get much more picturesque than this.

Packed with museums and galleries, Amsterdam is a jewel in Europe’s cultural crown.

Best time to visit

Amsterdam is a great destination to visit all year round, but consider May and June for balmy temperatures that let you make the most of dining al fresco in the city’s cafés, or cruising down the canals. The famous tulip fields are in full bloom at this point, too.

Avoid the crowds

Amsterdam is a year-round city, but to avoid the biggest throngs come in early spring or autumn. The months of April, May and September can offer warm temperatures perfect for walking around the city, but they’re not as busy as the high summer months, when Amsterdam is packed with crowds.
