Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off Amsterdam tour

  • Amsterdam isn’t a city to rush through. Take your time wandering the Rijksmuseum or soaking in the vibrant colors of Bloemenmarkt (the flower market). With the freedom to hop on and off, you can pause to sip a canal-side coffee, snap some picturesque bridges, and still catch the next bus without stress.
  • For a refreshing break from the city’s hustle, rent a bike in Amsterdam. Ride across the Amstel River and stop by the Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. This peaceful village, with its quaint houses and riverside cafes, is the perfect spot to relish some Dutch pancakes and take in serene views.
  • The city can be moody, weather-wise. If it’s sunny, head to the vibrant Jordaan neighborhood or the sprawling Vondelpark. For rainy days, hop off at indoor gems like the Van Gogh Museum or Anne Frank House. Keep an umbrella handy – this is Amsterdam, after all!
  • The city is just as magical from the water as it is from the streets. Opt for a canal cruise and float along the iconic Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Herengracht canals. Pair this with a Gassan Diamond Factory tour, where you’ll witness master craftsmen at work and maybe even snag a dazzling souvenir.
  • Amsterdam loves a good event, so if you're visiting during King’s Day (April 27) or while a flea market pops up at Waterlooplein, you’re in for a treat. From the Amsterdam tulip festival to food truck bonanzas, these experiences will make your tour uniquely memorable.
