Many visitors choose to spend around 2-3 days in Amsterdam, and then another day visiting the countryside, such as the neighborhood of Zaanse Schans. If you happen to visit during tulip season (from March to May), make sure you don’t miss out on the seas of flowers at the Keukenhof Tulip Gardens.
Amsterdam enjoys a pleasant climate throughout all four seasons and its weather is mainly affected by the currents from the North Sea. Amsterdam is full of canals, and surrounded by water on three sides, which has a strong urban heat island effect. For this reason, winters are mild and the summer is warm but not hot. The best travel time is from April to September each year. At this time, the mild climate and blooming flowers add color to the streets of Amsterdam. Winters in the city are quite cold, with strong winds and an average temperature of 2-5°C. If you’re heading to Amsterdam during this time, be sure to bring warm clothing. The average temperature in the summer is around 22°C, though mornings and evenings are known to be quite cool.
