Best: Apr, Jun · Great: May, Jul-Oct · Apr for King's Day (Koningsdag)
Four distinct seasons run through the year here, from January's chill to July's warmth, with rain spread fairly evenly across the calendar rather than concentrated in one stretch. In June, expect highs around 20°C with rain on roughly 11 days of the month.
King's Day (Koningsdag) (April) — A nationwide street party on April 27, with orange-clad crowds, markets, and canal parties in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam's canals and museums anchor a visit, and Keukenhof's tulip fields (mid-March to mid-May) are a popular seasonal add-on.
Try stroopwafels and herring from a canal-side stand.
