Ships dock near the historic centre, and you step off into a city of bicycles on cobbled streets, houseboats on still water, and fresh stroopwafels from market stalls. The canal ring is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Jordaan district, once a working-class area, now has small galleries, vintage shops, and brown cafรฉs. The Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum are in the Museumplein area, about a 20-minute tram ride from the port. The Anne Frank House needs advance booking. The Albert Cuyp Market is the largest street market in the city, good for cheese, herring, and cheap clothes. Bikes are everywhere and have right of way, so watch where you walk. Trams are the easiest public transport from the terminal. Most central attractions charge between โ‚ฌ15-20 for entry. ## Quick Facts - **Currency:** EUR (Euro) - **Language:** Dutch - **Timezone:** Europe/Amsterdam (UTC+1) - **Tipping:** Service included; rounding up appreciated ## Location Coordinates: 52.3773, 4.9302 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Amsterdam/@52.37733,4.9302,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Amsterdam&ll=52.37733,4.9302&z=13) ## Things to Do in Amsterdam Top-rated shore excursions that fit a typical ~11h port call.
