Tipping in Amsterdam isn’t necessarily expected, and it would be quite acceptable not
to add something to the bill unless you experience service you think should be
rewarded.
Before you arrive, it’s a good idea to become familiar with a few key Dutch suffixes.
o Gracht = Canal
o Plein = Square
o Straat = Street
o Markt = Market
Amsterdam is safe apart from… Bicycle accidents! In order to prevent a crash, be sure to
walk on the pedestrian paths ONLY and keep clear of the bicycle paths!
Take the boat tour on the Canal at night. It’s wonderful!
Language: The official language is Dutch, but nearly everyone speaks English as a second
language.
Currency: The Euro is used as currency (€)
Credit Cards and Banks: Most restaurants and hotels will accept credit/debit cards. Be
sure to carry plenty of cash for small purchases and public transportation.
Climate: You can visit Amsterdam all year round, but the winter months may be too cold
for walking or cycling around the city.
o Cold season: November to March
o Warm season: June to September
Depending on your type of trip, getting an iAmsterdam card may save money. The card
includes free admission into the most popular museums, free public transportation and
a free canal cruise.
Emergency: In a life-threatening emergency, the national telephone number for an
ambulance, police and fire brigade is 112. It’s an all-in service that feeds you into the
right emergency service, with no waiting.
There are occasionally some transients around the Zeedijk and Gelderskade, and also on
the Nieuwendijk near Centraal Station. Generally they won’t bother you if you don’t
bother them.
