This 48-hour guide starts at easyHotel Amsterdam City Centre, perfectly located in the lively De Pijp district, close to major attractions and public transport.

Begin your day with a short walk or tram ride to Museumplein, home to Amsterdam’s most famous museums. Depending on your interests, step into the Rijksmuseum to admire Dutch Golden Age masterpieces, visit the Van Gogh Museum for an inspiring journey through the artist’s life, or explore the Stedelijk Museum for a dive into modern and contemporary art. After a morning of culture, unwind in Vondelpark, Amsterdam’s largest and most beautiful green space, just a short stroll away. Grab a coffee or a traditional Dutch snack from a local café, find a quiet spot, and soak in the peaceful surroundings before heading to your next adventure.

From Museumplein, head towards Amsterdam’s Canal Belt, a UNESCO-listed gem filled with 17th-century canal houses, charming bridges, and picturesque streets. Stroll through the Jordaan district, a neighbourhood known for its independent boutiques, cosy cafés, and hidden courtyards—the perfect place to soak up the city’s atmosphere.

Next, visit the Anne Frank House, one of Amsterdam’s most important historical landmarks. Since it’s a must-see attraction, be sure to book your tickets in advance to secure your visit. Afterwards, wander through De Negen Straatjes (The Nine Streets), a delightful shopping district filled with unique boutiques, vintage stores, and stylish cafés. Take a break for a light lunch at a local eatery before continuing your Amsterdam adventure.

As the sun sets, see Amsterdam from a new perspective with a canal cruise. Departing from Dam Square or Centraal Station, you can choose a classic sightseeing boat or a smaller, open-top boat for a more intimate experience. Gliding past illuminated bridges and historic canal houses, this is an unforgettable way to end your first day in the city. For dinner and drinks, head back to De Pijp, the lively neighbourhood surrounding easyHotel Amsterdam City Centre. Known for its diverse food scene, you’ll find everything from authentic Dutch cuisine to trendy international restaurants. Whether you’re after a laid-back meal or a stylish cocktail bar, De Pijp has the perfect spot to wrap up your night in true Amsterdam style.

Kick off your second day in De Pijp with a visit to the Albert Cuyp Market, just a short walk from easyHotel Amsterdam City Centre South. This bustling street market is perfect for sampling local treats like fresh stroopwafels, Dutch fries, and herring, or picking up some unique souvenirs. Just keep in mind that the market is closed on Sundays, so if your visit falls on that day, you might want to explore the nearby boutiques and cafés instead. Just around the corner, beer lovers can head to the Heineken Experience, located in the original Heineken brewery. This interactive tour takes you through the brewing process, with fun, immersive exhibits - and, of course, a freshly poured Heineken to enjoy at the end. A great way to toast to your Amsterdam adventure!

For a change of scenery, take a short train from Amsterdam Centraal to Zaanse Schans, a charming traditional Dutch village. Wander past historic windmills, wooden houses, and scenic landscapes, visit a working windmill, or watch how Dutch cheese and wooden clogs are made. It’s a perfect escape into classic Dutch heritage. If you’re after something more artsy and urban, hop on the free ferry from Centraal Station to NDSM Wharf. Once a shipyard, this area is now a creative hub filled with street art, artist studios, quirky cafés, and industrial-chic venues. It’s one of Amsterdam’s coolest spots to explore, offering a totally different side of the city. Whichever you choose, you’ll experience a unique slice of Dutch culture!

As your Amsterdam adventure comes to an end, enjoy a peaceful evening stroll through Plantage, a charming district home to the Hortus Botanicus (Botanical Gardens) and the Artis Royal Zoo. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after two days of exploring. For a final panoramic view of the city, head to A’DAM Lookout, where you can take in breathtaking skyline views - or, if you’re feeling adventurous, try the "Over the Edge" swing for an unforgettable farewell to Amsterdam. Wrap up your trip at a classic brown café, Amsterdam’s cosy version of a pub. Enjoy a local Dutch beer or a warm drink, soaking in the relaxed atmosphere before heading back to easyHotel Amsterdam City Centre for a well-earned rest. Until next time, Amsterdam!
