Amsterdam

Alternative lifestyles and tolerance for all

Flights to Amsterdam take visitors to one of Europe's great cities. The 17th-century 'Golden Age' canal belt forms a distinguished cityscape, while the fast-developing waterfront looks to Amsterdam's future.

Things to do

A ticket to Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum in the Museum District provides an overview of Dutch Old Master paintings. Enjoy holidays on Amsterdam's canals by boat or pedalo on a Canal Bike Tour, or see Amsterdam's green spaces skating in Vondelpark.

Shopping

There are plenty of shopping opportunities on an Amsterdam city break, from designers along Pieter Cornelisz Hooftstraat and upmarket Rokin to popular shops on busy Kalverstraat in the city centre. Shop for diamonds at showrooms around the city and for antiques along Spiegelgracht.

Restaurants

Holidays in Amsterdam allow visitors to sample a range of ethnic and fusion cuisines from all over the world, as well as Dutch and European food. The canal belt boasts a variety of dining possibilities from delicious home cooking to Michelin-starred cuisine.

Nightlife

Pack your clubbing clothes for your flight to Amsterdam, one of Europe's leading dance cities. Go by bicycle through laid-back Jordaan or stroll through the famous red-light district.

When to go

KLM has frequent flights to Amsterdam, its home city. Book your Amsterdam flight ticket to coincide with a big summer event like Over Het IJ Festival, an extravaganza of dance, music and theatre, or Amsterdam Gay Pride.
