Walk Amsterdam Like a Local
Walk the canals, bridges & hidden courtyards
Plan my Amsterdam walk →Amsterdam is one of Europe's most walkable cities. Its compact canal ring, world-class museums, and charming neighbourhoods reward every step. Skip the bike for a day — walking lets you stop at every hidden hofje and linger on every bridge.
Top landmarks to walk between
Rijksmuseum
Home to Rembrandt and Vermeer — approach on foot through the Museumplein
Anne Frank House
Moving museum on the Prinsengracht canal
Jordaan neighbourhood
Winding streets, independent galleries, and the best brown cafés
Van Gogh Museum

Bloemenmarkt
The world's only floating flower market on the Singel canal
