The 3-Day Amsterdam Itinerary a Local Would Plan
A 3-day Amsterdam itinerary built the way a local plans it: museums booked early, mornings in Oost, an afternoon across the IJ, and none of the tourist traps.
Not every city break is about sights. These are the European cities worth visiting specifically for what's on the plate, ranked by food culture, not restaurant count.

The tourist circuit is real and it will eat you alive. Here's how to find the city locals actually live in, neighbourhood by neighbourhood.
