With the city’s extreme popularity among tourists, it’s no wonder that its hotels are frequently fully booked, especially during spring and summer. If you want to visit Amsterdam in July or August, mind that booking a room in April may turn out to be too late! You can, of course, pay twice the usual prices, but it would be much better for both your nerves and wallet to plan a trip in advance. In addition, early bird tickets for events often include some great deals, and airfares are much cheaper if you book a ticket long before your flight. There is a chance for you to catch a cheap business class to Amsterdam from the US if you’re lucky enough.
The best time to fly to Amsterdam is probably between the end of spring and the beginning of autumn. The air in the city is quite humid during these months, but that’s not much of a wonder, considering that Amsterdam is surrounded by water from 3 sides. Temperatures in Amsterdam average at 22.1 °C (71.8 °F) in August, making the seats of street cafes fully booked from early in the morning to midnight. Traditional Dutch meals taste best on a sunny summer day!
