Join us for a jam-packed cruise port visit as we explore everything from the Albert Cuyp Market and The Nine Streets to drag queen bingo at The Queen’s Head. Whether you’re planning your own day in port or just dreaming of canals and stroopwafels, we’ve got you covered with practical tips, walking routes, and a bonus night out thanks to some high winds. We walk you through exactly how to get off the ship at the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA), navigate into the city by foot or tram, and prioritize what to see in a short amount of time. From world-class museums like the Rijksmuseum and the Anne Frank House to quirky shopping streets and messy but delightful public squares, Amsterdam is the kind of place where even your backup plans have backup plans. This was our third time in the city, so we skipped the canal cruise (we’ve done a few), passed on the tulip fields (this time), and instead focused on seeing what we missed last time—including the city’s best-known street market, shopping streets, and some very fun LGBTQ+ nightlife just steps from the ship.
