If you only have one day in Amsterdam or are staying in another city and want to take the train in for a day trip, this itinerary will be perfect for you!
Amsterdam Centraal
If you're taking the train in like we did you'll probably start your day off in Amsterdam Centraal Station! This iternerary starts at the other side of the city so you'll want to catch a tram outside the station to head up to the museum district
See MoreVondelpark
Depending on how much time you have, and what time of year you visit, just a little further than the museum district is a gorgeous park you can walk through
See MoreVan Gogh Museum
This, by far, is my favorite thing to see in Amsterdam - the Van Gogh Museum! Make sure to book your tickets ahead of time and I'd recommend the earliest time slot you can so you can beat as much of the crowds as possible
See MoreVegan Temple Bar
If you're looking for good gluten free and vegan food then Vegan Temple Bar is a wonderful place to eat after going to the Van Gogh Museum to fuel up for the rest of the day. If you winced while reading that first sentence then there are many other wonderful resturants and cafes in the area to eat at, Amsterdam does not lack for good food
See MoreCanals of Amsterdam
You could take the tram to your next destination but Amsterdam is famous for its canals after all! Take some time to slow down and enjoy the views of the canals and the boats on them
See MoreAnne Frank House
Depending on how much time you have you can get tickets to go inside the Anne Frank House (again, buy these ahead of time) or you can take a moment to reflect on the outside of this monument. Either way, it's worth seeing
See MoreDam Square
This square is bustling and is full of all sorts of characters. If you enjoy people watching this is the place to do it! Just know that the pigeons here are very friendly, if you like birds you can get them to land on your arms. If you don't like birds this might not be the stop for you
See MoreRembrandt House Museum
If you have time to squeeze in one more museum then I'd highly recommend the Rembrandt House Museum! The famous painter once lived, painted, and ran his art dealership from this location. Today it hosts a wonderful collection of his works
