How many days in Amsterdam?

One day covers the essentials that lie close together.

Rijksmuseum · Van Gogh Museum · Concertgebouw · Anne Frank Huis

A second day lets you go beyond the very centre.

Magere Brug · Rembrandthuis · de Wallen · Oude Kerk · Nemo

Three days are comfortable — enough for museums and places further out.
