Take a few moments to just walk around and sit down on the edge of the canals, watching the entire city go by or just grab a blanket and some snacks and relax by the water.

And don’t forget to take a couple of selfies.
The Bloemenmarket

This is actually a floating flower market. It’s set up in such a way that the actual market is on boats, but the street-side of the market is easily accessible from the road.

You may not even notice it’s floating until after you cross the street.
Climb the Amsterdam sign

If you want a photo with no one else photo-bombing, it is highly suggested that you get there super early in the morning before all the tourists wake up.

But if you end up there around mid-afternoon, you can still get a pretty great shot and make an attempt to climb up the letters!
