Amsterdam is a major tourist destination, and you can visit all year round, however, in winter the days are short (8 hours daylight around Christmas), and the weather may be too cold to walk around the city comfortably, let alone cycle. July and August are the warmest months, with an average temperature of 72°F (22°C). Some things are seasonal. The tulip fields flower only in the spring, and Queen's Day is always on 30 April, unless it falls on a Sunday.

Old Center
This most visited area can be divided in the New Side, with it's traditional architecture, canal tours, Dam Square and shopping, as well as the Old Side with Nieuwmarkt, Chinatown and Red Light District. Also includes the Old Jewish Quarter with Waterloo Square.

Canal Belt (Grachtengordel)
Probably the wealthiest neighborhood with plenty of Dutch celebrities living here. Also includes Rembrandtplein and Leidseplein, the city's main nightlife areas.
