💚Good to Know
🛬Arriving from Airport
🏨City Rings/Where to Stay
Amsterdam is a very compact city with far more annual visitors than it can easily accommodate (in other words, it suffers from overtourism).
My best advice is to stay outside of the main city rings that make up the canals. The trains into town run really regularly and you will not only have an easier time finding accommodation if you go just a little bit outside the main rings, but it will also be more affordable.
I personally don't like Airbnb, but where you stay is your choice! Here's a video I made on some of my Airbnb qualms...

Hello et bonjour ! I'm (another) American in Paris.
I've lived in France since 2016 and I loooove sharing my Paris & France recs in hopes I can help others love this city and country as much as I do. I'm quite confident I've seen more of France than most French people, so no matter what you're looking for, I've (probably) done it!
✅ What I'm a great fit for: Mature travelers, couples, solo travelers, and families who enjoy soaking in authentic experiences, great food and wine, off-the-beaten-track gems, classic sites, and sustainable travel.
🌱 What's sustainable travel about? Traveling in a way that is kind to the environment, respectful of local culture, & supportive of the local economy. My trip-planning services are always through a sustainable lens.
❌ What I'm not a great fit for: Travelers focused on bars/clubbing or high-end shopping.
➡️ Follow me on TikTok, Instagram & Pinterest @hilaryinparis for Paris & France recommendations, tips, personal stories, and more.
🌍 PS: I'm on Thatch because I genuinely love sharing France with folks. My day job is running Yugen Earthside, a booking platform for responsible package trips primarily catering to groups of mature American travelers. My company's website is linked below.
