When planning a trip to Amsterdam, one of the first questions that comes up is: how many days will it take to really visit the city?<\/strong> And the answer isn’t so obvious… because it all depends on what you like to do, the pace you want to adopt and the time of year.<\/p>\n\n

For our part, we know the city really well: I spent a year of Erasmus there<\/strong>, which meant we came back often afterwards, for short stays or real immersion. We tried out several formats: an express weekend for lovers, a 4-day stay with our daughter, and even 5 days in slow travel mode. Each time, we had a different experience, but always just as enjoyable. <\/p>\n\n

So, here we share our tips for choosing the right length of time to suit your desires, each time with a quick overview of what you can do on site, depending on the time you have available.<\/p>\n\n

Amsterdam in 2 days: a quick but possible first approach<\/h2>\n\n

If you only have 2 days to visit Amsterdam<\/strong>, don’t panic: it’s short, but more than enough time to get a good overview of the city. All you need to do is get a little organized, make a few strategic choices… and be prepared to leave out some of the longer visits. The good thing is that everything is close at hand: if you stay in a central district, you can easily do everything on foot or by bike. It’s a capital perfectly suited to cycling in Europe<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n
