Best time to go to Amsterdam

Peak Season:

The months of June through August make up the peak season in this city. The warm weather of this period calls tourists to take advantage of one of many outdoor activities and events, like viewing a performance at Zomer in the Tolhuistuin, taking a guided bike tour through the city, or strolling through the Rijksmuseum garden.

Shoulder Season:

From April to May, and September to November, this city sees its shoulder season. Temperatures range from extremely hot to unbearably cold, so tourists drastically thin out, leaving inexpensive flights to Amsterdam up for grabs. These months are fantastic for visiting the Anne Frank Huis, exploring the Artis zoo, and touring the Wynand Fockink distillery or Heineken factory without the hassle of large crowds.

Off Season:

Provided you enjoy chilly weather, Amsterdam is a great place to visit from December to March. Because tourists avoid the city during these months, flights are inexpensive and the city is still in full swing. For instance, you can get in on the New Year festivities in December, or browse the Realisme Art Fair in January.
