City advice
Book before you go
Van Gogh Museum & Anne Frank House to be booked online in advance
Skip the queues and book those museums ahead of time on their respective websites.
Customs and culture
If you can bike, BIKE!
It really saves a lot of hassle, money and time and brings a lot of joy if you experience Amsterdam the local way: by bike! There are plenty of bike rental shops in Jordaan area that I could recommend but the closest by is Bike City at Bloemgracht.
