Travel Tips: Book Anne Frank House and popular restaurants weeks in advance. Tipping 10% is standard. Learn basic Dutch phrases, though English is widely spoken.
Accommodations: Jordaan and Canal Ring for charm and romance; City Center for convenience; De Pijp for local atmosphere; Noord for modern design and views.
Safety & Etiquette: Amsterdam is very safe, but watch for pickpockets in tourist areas and be aware of cyclists and trams. Cannabis is tolerated but not legal everywhere.
