Solo travel experience
I was there last summer. For public transportation, I bought a multi-day pass that covered the time I was there and had unlimited rides on subways, buses, and trams. I stayed at the Bicycle Hotel, which I liked. It's cheaper to stay a little outside the main area, and public transportation is super quick and easy.
Posted: August 7, 2023Solo travel experience
I stayed in Amsterdam for 6 days and went on trips to Bruges and Keukenhof Gardens. I had a great time and felt safe and comfortable. I liked going to the museums, taking the trams, walking around, admiring the buildings, going on boat rides, and meeting the locals.
Posted: August 5, 2023Solo travel experience
When I went to Amsterdam I felt so, so safe there. Dutch people are very friendly, everyone I met spoke English and I felt extremely safe walking back home at night. The trams were pretty easy to work out. I recommend reserving tickets to the Anne Frank Museum. Also, the Van Gogh Museum was absolutely incredible. I had a lovely time and Amsterdam is the safest, friendliest city I’ve ever been to and I felt very relaxed there.
