Grumpy100 Posted December 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2013 We are thinking about doing a short trip to Amsterdam in late April and early May, 2014. We would fly from US to Amsterdam and do 3 or 4 nights in Amsterdam. Then on the return do a 6 night fly/drive trip around Iceland. When you add an extra stop the airfare is not that much more so thought I would save some money on airfare and combine the trips. Question: Looking at Amsterdam tulip time I know it depends on the weather as to when the peak time for the tulips. So...thought we would leave the US on 5/1/14 and then visit Amsterdam from 5/2/14 through 5/5/14 and depart on 5/6/14. Is that enough time to see the tulips at Kukenhoff Gardens as well as see them out in the farmers field. Then I would also want to go to the area that has the windmills. We are not museum people so would want to do a canal cruise in Amsterdam and see some of the highlights of Amsterdam. Is 3-4 days enough to see what I stated above. Thanks for any input and any suggestions of where we would stay in Amsterdam looking at 3-4 star hotels. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milolii Posted December 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi there, you will have better luck obtaining answers posting on the British isles board. Amsterdam is fun. We stayed there in 2011 but our hotel was a ways from the city centre We took the light rail in. It was a Novotel hotel. Those hotels are ok, I would say 3-4 stars and you find them throughout Europe. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTowner Posted December 9, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I think you will get better information if you post on the Amsterdam Forum on Tripadvisor. I think 3 or 4 days will be fine. Holland is a small country and a day at the keukenhof will be long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great place to spend a few days but it is not in the Mediteranean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
