Welcome to Amsterdam is an independent, English-language guide for visitors, returning travellers and locals who want to see more than the obvious. We make Amsterdam easy to explore: reliable information, simple explanations and tips you can actually use.
We check opening times, booking rules and prices against official sources and date every guide.
We recommend what we believe is worth your time. Businesses cannot pay for a positive review.
Affiliate links and sponsored content are always clearly marked.
Welcome to Amsterdam is free to read. We earn money through affiliate links (for example to GetYourGuide), display advertising and clearly labelled sponsored listings. When you book through an affiliate link, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences what we recommend.
