The climate
The best months to visit Amsterdam are the summer months, from May to August, but you can of course go to the Dutch capital all year long. The city is also very famous for its New Year's Eve. There is an average of fifteen days of rain per month (that's one day out of two) so do not necessarily expect to have 4 days of good weather. The average temperature varies between 0 ° / 7 ° in winter and 14 ° / 21 ° in summer. You now understand that if you need to warm up, better push the door of the innumerable bars of Amsterdam rather than wait for the sun!

Language
In the Netherlands, people speak Dutch. Amsterdam is a very tourist town, so they also know very well English. So do not hesitate to play the « tourist card » and ask them to give you a hand if you are lost with your map of the city.

Currency
The currency in Amsterdam is the Euro. This is obviously the only currency with which you can pay for your purchases in Amsterdam. You will be able to easily change before your departure at your bank or in a bureau de change, or do it directly on the spot according to the agreements that you have with your bank, either by taking some cash with you, then by going to an exchange office, either by withdrawing money with your credit card directly from an ATM.
