I really enjoy Amsterdam. It’s a wonderful Dutch city that’s lured me back many times over the years.
I’ve returned to Holland numerous times over the years, often spending just 2 days in Amsterdam. Obviously I’ve fallen in love with the city. This means I’ve often seen it mostly in dribs and drabs. Always in a rush, passing through on my way to somewhere else. Never having time to give anything more than a cursory glance. And I’ve also found that returning for short periods over the years is a great way to see the city.
Seeking a More Relaxed Way
But this time I wanted to see it in a more relaxed way, and have time to peel back a bit of the veneer of the city. I surely would revisit several of the old places I liked, maybe viewing them from a new perspective, but I also planned to unearth some new ones, such as the flower market.
It turned out to be a wonderful 2 days in Amsterdam, done relatively inexpensively. And just at the right pace to reinvigorate my love of all things Dutch. If you have an additional day, you’ll find that Delft is just a short day trip by train from Amsterdam. If only in Amsterdam for a day or two, here are the best things to see and make the best use of your time!
