MY AMSTERDAM TRAVEL GUIDE | itinerary & tips from a Dutch resident

I personally think 4 days is the perfect amount of time if you're visiting Amsterdam for the first time! Some of my suggestions could be even squeezed into 3 days, especially during summer where the days are longer. Let me know in the comments if you have other tips or advice!
