Amsterdam is a city that’s also fairly easy to get around, and even for those who aren’t used to lots of walking will find it simple to negotiate their way through streets and areas. What’s more, if you get tired or decide you want to get to a certain place more quickly than your feet can take you, you’ll be able to hop on the local public transport system and get taken there along a convenient transport route.



But walking really is the way to do it if you want to catch Amsterdam at its finest. A city celebrated for its aesthetics, Amsterdam is perfect for slow, meandering walks where you give yourself the time to really see the city in its best light. When you’re on foot, you won’t have to miss out on anything because the bus can’t stop and let you get a closer look – if you want to spend some time looking at a building, statue, shop or street, you have the freedom to do so. Going on walking explorations of Amsterdam means that you can create your own schedule, spending as little or as much time in any one place as you like – and you can walk right on past any attraction that doesn’t interest you.

Once you arrive in Amsterdam, one of the best ways to get to know the city and find your sense of direction is, of course, to take a stroll through the streets and familiarise yourself with them. You may be surprised at just how many of the attractions you’ve been planning to see appear as you walk through the city, but Amsterdam is just that convenient! So why not head off on a walking holiday in Amsterdam and enjoy seeing the city at its best?
