There are some decent AirBNB options as well. They could proof excellent value for money when you stay a few more nights. I agree with the others you'd want to stay central, public transport is excellent, or go proper Dutch and hire a bike 
Hotel De L'Europe is one of my favourites but it may depend on your budget. Generally I don't find hotels good value for money in Amsterdam and breakfast really isn't a big thing either in the Netherlands. I am Dutch and for me it is still two slices of dark brown bread with cheese and a cup of milk But last time I tried Hotel De Witt, and whilst the service was great, breakfast was a surprise, I wasn't impressed with the rooms and location but everything else was full.
Anne Frank has been done up, booking and arriving at your time slot is a must. It really is.
I agree it isn't necessarily a Citi with lots 'to do', not like Copenhagen for example, however it is more about soaking up the atmosphere and exploring the various areas. My favourite is letting the time pass away in the Jordaan. But Vondelpark is nice as well.
As I went with teenagers we had to do some activities, and the Amsterdam Dungeon was a hit, that was actually really good fun. And yes the canal tours are recommended as well.
If you have 4 days, I would probably take the train and go see The Hague/Scheveningen for a day as well. As the capital with the government it is a fantastic Citi. I think the train return is only about 10 euros (guessing as it was 8.36 from Schiphol when I had to go there for work).
Be prepared for a relaxed chilled out time opposed to an activity pack time. Great atmosphere, nice restaurants, fantastic looking old areas and streets. |
