Amsterdam In Depth with Utrecht
Stay in De Pijp for everyday city life, explore the canals, museums and the Jewish Quarter in depth, plus a day trip to Utrecht's old canals.
Based in De Pijp and starting at Albert Cuyp Market, spend two days exploring Museumplein and the canal belt in depth. On day four, take a half-hour train to Utrecht to climb the Dom Tower and walk the two-level quays along the Oudegracht. The last half-day covers the Rembrandt House and the main museum up in the attic. Compared with the first-visit route, this adds a market, smaller museums and one nearby historic town. Suited to travelers who want to slow down and to repeat visitors.
Albert Cuyp Market closes on Sundays; book the Dom Tower in advance on weekends.
