What is in the Amsterdam directory
Built from open map data, kept current, and never ranked by who paid, because nobody can pay. Placement is not for sale on NUM. Counted November 8, 2026.
Amsterdam at a glance
The Dutch capital, built around a ring of 17th-century canals that UNESCO listed in 2010. People come for the canal houses, the museums on Museumplein and the Anne Frank House. The center is small enough to cover on foot or by bike.
Known for
Canal Ring Grachtengordel
The 17th-century canals inside the Singelgracht, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2010; best seen on foot or from the water.
Rijksmuseum
The national museum of Dutch Golden Age art, on Museumplein beside the Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk.
Anne Frank House Anne Frank Huis
The canal house where Anne Frank's family hid during the war; tickets are sold online only, for a set time slot.
Raw herring Haring
Lightly cured herring eaten as a snack, plain or with chopped raw onion and pickles, often held by the tail.
Albert Cuyp Market Albert Cuypmarkt
Street market on Albert Cuypstraat in De Pijp, open six days a week, with produce, fish, clothing and stroopwafels made on the spot.
Getting there
Trains run from Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam Centraal in about 14 to 17 minutes. Bus 397 (Amsterdam Airport Express) leaves stop B17 outside Schiphol Plaza every 7.5 minutes for Museumplein, the Rijksmuseum and Leidseplein; the operator says about 25 minutes. At night, bus N97 runs the same route every 30 minutes.
Getting around
The center is walkable, and trams, metro, buses and ferries cover the rest. Public transport is cashless: check in with a debit or credit card, or use a transport pass.
When to go
April and May are mild and among the drier months; King's Day on 27 April fills the streets with parties and flea markets. Summer days average about 22 °C. August to November is the wettest stretch, and winter nights hover near freezing.
Local tip
Anne Frank House tickets go on sale every Tuesday at 10:00 CET for visits six weeks later, and none are sold at the door. If your dates are fixed, book on release day.
