Attractions and tips

If your visit to the Van Gogh museum downs your spirits, a trip to the Tulip Museum with its rich history and flower paintings should perk you right up. If that does not seem to work, perhaps a self-guided tour, The Heineken Experience, at the Heineken breweries should do the trick.

Amsterdam has an efficient public transport system and transfer from Schiphol to Leidseplein and Museumplein is only a 30-minute ride. Private transfer services are also readily available.

Amsterdam is six hours ahead of New Jersey and its climate can be described as mild with mild temperate summer and winter weather.
