About Amsterdam for Solo Travelers
A city of canals, bicycles, and some of the world's great museums — solo travelers cycle the 17th-century canal ring, spend an afternoon with Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, and find Amsterdam one of Europe's most effortlessly comfortable solo cities.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Amsterdam is one of the world's most comfortable solo cities — cycling is the way to move (rent a bike on day one), the canal ring is extraordinarily beautiful on a solo morning cycle, and the museum density is extraordinary (Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House — book ahead). The Jordaan neighbourhood cafés and the Albert Cuyp market are perfect solo stops. The city is extremely English-speaking and very welcoming.
