What to pack for Amsterdam

A rain-resistant jacket, light sweater and comfortable walking shoes work well for canalside walks.

  • Comfortable shoes suited to your plans and the forecast
  • Versatile clothing you can layer or adjust during the day
  • A small day bag for essentials and a reusable water bottle
  • Weather protection based on the forecast, not the season alone

Keep an umbrella or packable rain shell handy on days with showers.

Practical travel tip

Canal walks and cycling call for comfortable, weather-ready shoes.

Before you leave

Check the daily temperature, feels-like temperature, wind and chance of rain close to departure. A seasonal guide cannot predict the weather for your specific dates.
