Amsterdam Solo Traveling: Where to Stay, What to Eat & What to Do By Yourself

We’re taking you on a 3-day solo trip to Amsterdam starting with a business class flight on KLM and straight to exploring the city by foot and by canal cruise. We share what we did for 3 days including a museums, vintage shopping, coffeeshops, tasting dinners, a nude spa and more. We share if Amsterdam is good for solo travel and what we’d do differently if we went back again - including a few nearby day trips.

In this episode:

Amsterdam history and modern culture facts
Getting from Schiphol to Amsterdam Centraal by NS train in about 30 minutes
A review of the Kimpton De Witt: plants in your room, daily cocktail hour, free bikes and breakfast
Where to eat, drink, and enjoy coffeeshop shenanigans in Amsterdam
Sightseeing and shopping in Jordaan, Bloemgracht, Egelantiersgracht, Westerkerk, the Anne Frank House and Dam Square
The canal cruises and how to choose between them

Travel tips for Amsterdam:

English is spoken almost everywhere
Don't photograph or film sex workers or the windows in the Red Light District
Use the NS app for train times and tickets
The center is walkable: most spots are 10–20 minutes on foot; museums and Vondelpark are about 35
Book timed Van Gogh Museum tickets in advance because they sell out
