JordaanJordaan
First-timers: a hotel in the Jordaan or on the western canals, a short walk to the Anne Frank House; choose one with a lift and a 24h desk, not a steep canal house that locks at midnight.

Rules in force · 7Red bike lanes look like pavement
- Netherlands ↗The Netherlands is in the EU and the Schengen area; the EU Entry/Exit System applies to non-EU visitors. Check the official EU and Dutch sources for your passport.
- Netherlands ↗Red or marked bike lanes are for bikes: do not walk or stand in them, and look for cyclists before crossing.
- Netherlands ↗Amsterdam has local rules on public drinking, cannabis use in some areas and short-term rentals; check the city's current rules and book licensed accommodation.
- Amsterdam and North Holland ↗Plan every leg by train, bus or tram with a contactless card; a car in Amsterdam costs more in parking than it saves.
- Amsterdam ↗Red bike lanes look like pavement: never stop or walk in them, and look both ways for bikes, scooters and trams at every crossing.
- Amsterdam ↗The Anne Frank House and the Rijksmuseum sell timed tickets; buy only on the official sites, and book weeks ahead for spring and summer.
- Amsterdam ↗Canal-house hotels have steep stairs and often no lift: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk, and ask about a lift before you book.
