Loaded with great information about the history of Amsterdam as well as travel tips. Provides dining, hotel, and attraction information. Great tool to plan and schedule your trip so you see what you want.

I’ve had the chance to compare this to a lot of other guide books for Amsterdam and the Netherlands and I’m SO grateful I chose this one. First of all, I love the guided walks Rick Steves includes for neighborhoods, cities, and even museums, and all of the detailed maps. This is the only book I’ve found that focuses on Amsterdam but also includes extensive, detailed guides to places I want to day trip to including Haarlem, Delft, Leiden, Hoorn, and Edam among other places. The sense of humor and personal perspective make the book fun to read and easy to trust for advice. The only downside is the lack of color photos that other books have, but it makes up for that with a wealth of information.

Love Rick Steves! Have gone on 4 of his tours but want to do this area of the world on our own. Info is always spot on and useful.

Just returned from AMS and this book was a lifesaver. Highly recommend. Gives you a local viewpoint with tourist intel needed like tipping suggestions and customs.

I always use Rick Steve’s’ books to plan my trips. As soon as I know where I’m going, I get his book for that country or countries. The books are very detailed and include maps, suggestions on where to stay, where to eat and what to see along with tips on best way to get tickets and best times to go.

The Netherlands are one of the smaller countries in Europe, yet it offers much to see and experience to the enterprising traveler. Much of the country was famously reclaimed from North Sea. The canals can be explored in Amsterdam and other cities, which have retained much of their medieval roots. The Dutch art museums are world class. Its culture, for better or worse, is as liberal as any in Europe. Rick Steves has the details in this just released guide.As with other Rick Steves guides, it pays to read the whole book before making travel choices. There is much good advice on where to go, how to get there (trains and bikes), what to see, and where to eat and sleep. The book includes lots of color and black and white photographs, along with maps of cities, diagrams of museums, and a pull-out map at the back of the book. Very well recommended to the enterprising traveler.

This is one of Rick Steves best- plain WOW. In a bit over a week, I traveled train and tram in three main cities without a single glitch. His Amsterdam Walks, flawless fun. Herring, Indonesian, Brown Bar, and farmers market- delightful recommendations. You’ll see. Enjoy this jewel.
