Today is yours to enjoy exactly as you’d like.
Some of you may choose to visit the Anne Frank House—one of the most meaningful and moving experiences in the city. It’s not an easy visit, but it’s an important one, and for many, unforgettable.
A quick heads-up: tickets are not available for group purchase and must be booked individually through the museum’s official website. They’re released once a month (typically on the first Tuesday), and they do sell out quickly—so this is one to plan ahead for if it’s on your list.
If that’s not on your agenda—or you’ve already been—this is your chance to experience Amsterdam at your own pace.
If you’d like a little direction, here are a few ideas to get you started:
Spend a relaxed morning wandering the Jordaan—arguably the prettiest part of the city—with its small streets, independent boutiques, and cafés that are perfect for lingering longer than planned.
Head to De 9 Straatjes (The Nine Streets), where you’ll find a mix of vintage shops, local designers, and just enough temptation to justify an extra suitcase.
For something a little different, make your way to Foodhallen—an indoor food hall set in a former tram depot. It’s an easy, casual place to sample a little of everything (and a great fallback if the weather isn’t cooperating).
Or keep it simple: find a canal-side café, order a glass of wine, and watch Amsterdam go by. This is not a city that requires effort to enjoy.
