Made famous by its liberal attitudes, bikes, museums, art and history, Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands and here are ten tips in one minute for your city break.

When crossing the road, take care. You’ll have to cross the bike lane, both lanes of traffic, then the bike lane on the other side. And that’s before even thinking about trams. We recommend using pedestrian crossings.

When riding a bike, remember to obey the rules. Bike lanes have their own traffic lights and work just like the ones for cars. Stop at red lights and make sure you’re ready for the greens, the locals will not wait for you.

Speaking of bikes, don’t walk in the bike lanes. It’s dangerous for you and the cyclists.

Get an iamsterdam card. It gets you free public transport and discounts on tickets to lots of popular places.

Cafes sell coffee; coffee shops sell…other stimulants…

Most people speak excellent English, so there’s no need to learn Dutch before you go.

Do not take photos in the Red Light District. Sex workers do not like it at all. Amsterdam reversed its plans to stop selling soft drugs to tourists so it’s perfectly legal for foreigners to use coffee shops.

Speaking of which, no under 18s are allowed and this is strictly enforced.

Book ahead. Tourists spots like Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh museum and Anne Franks’s house can have queues for up to an hour if you turn up without a ticket.
