Welcome Priya! It never truly gets warm here, you just get used to layers 😂 Do you have a good rain jacket? That's the real Amsterdam survival item.07:21 AM

De Hallen in Oud-West for food & coffee. Westerpark for weekend vibes. Noord for artsy stuff. Avoid the tourist trap Leidseplein area.07:26 AM
