Overview

Turn your layover into time well spent with a private experience designed around your schedule, interests, and pace. Instead of remaining at the airport, travel into Amsterdam with a local host and experience the city through its canals, historic streets, and distinctive neighborhoods. Depending on your interests and available time, your experience may include the historic canal belt, the lively atmosphere of Dam Square, the creative streets of De Pijp, or quieter residential areas that reflect everyday life in Amsterdam. Walk beside canals lined with merchant houses, pass through local districts shaped by the city’s cycling culture, and experience Amsterdam from a more local perspective between flights. Before your experience, you will complete an online personalization form so your host can design a tailored route based on your travel style and preferences. Your host will use your responses to shape a flexible experience that makes the most of your layover in Amsterdam.

Itinerary

1. Amsterdam

Explore Amsterdam with a local host who helps you make the most of your layover through a personalized route shaped around your interests, schedule, and pace. From canal-side streets to historic districts and local neighborhoods, your experience offers a flexible introduction to the city. Here are some highlights your host may include during your experience:

2. Dam Square

Visit Dam Square, Amsterdam’s historic heart, surrounded by grand architecture, historic landmarks, and lively public spaces. The square has been a gathering point for centuries and remains central to the city’s daily life.

3. De Pijp

Explore De Pijp, a lively neighborhood known for its diverse character, residential streets, and local atmosphere. Once a working-class district, it has become one of Amsterdam’s most dynamic and multicultural areas.

4. Museumplein

Walk through Museumplein, a broad public square framed by some of Amsterdam’s most significant cultural institutions. The open space offers a striking contrast to the city’s narrow canal streets and historic alleyways.

5. De 9 Straatjes

Discover the Nine Streets district, where narrow lanes connect Amsterdam’s central canals through a network of historic streets and traditional canal houses dating back to the 17th century.

6. Magere Brug

Pass by the Magere Brug, Amsterdam’s famous wooden drawbridge spanning the Amstel River. The bridge is one of the city’s best-known landmarks and reflects Amsterdam’s long relationship with its waterways.
