I visited Amsterdam last month and loved every bit of it.

As someone planning on visiting there in a year or two, do you have any advice?

The public transport system will make you feel like you're in the 2030s. Super simple. Have your smart phone or smart watch connected to a credit card, or just have a chipped credit card, and you boop your way in any transport, you boop your way out and it charges you for whatever distance you traveled.

The hotels are incredibly expensive there and we didn't take one in the old city, but somewhere at a reasonable distance from a subway station a little further from the city center.

Do not neglect the possibility to bike in the city. We were walking everywhere, or taking trams or the subway, and I wish we biked more.

Boat tours are cool, you learn a lot. Lots of museums to visit. And if you can afford it, try these restaurants for an extraordinary experience : Wilde Zwijnen (The Wild Pig) and Moeders (Mothers).

You can visit Windmills with a 40 minutes bus ride. Pretty nice things to see and to taste (cheese!!!).

Thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to keep it in mind :)
