What Nobody Tells You About Amsterdam
- 🚲 Bike lanes are serious — always check before stepping off the pavement. Cyclists have priority.
- 🌧️ Amsterdam weather is unpredictable year-round. Pack a light waterproof even in summer.
- 🍟 Dutch street food: stroopwafels (hot from the market), bitterballen (deep-fried snacks), herring at a street stall
- 🚢 Rent a small electric boat for an hour (no license needed) — a uniquely Amsterdam experience
- 📱 WhatsApp works normally in the Netherlands — no restrictions
- 🌷 If visiting for tulips: Keukenhof is stunning but touristy. The Bollenstreek flower route by bike is less crowded and free.
