Cheap flights to Amsterdam

Amsterdam is compact, friendly and best explored on foot, by bike or by boat. Its ring of canals is lined with tall gabled houses, cosy cafés and independent shops, especially in the Jordaan. See Rembrandt's masterpieces at the Rijksmuseum and hundreds of works at the Van Gogh Museum, and book well ahead for the Anne Frank House.

Flights from the UK take a little over an hour, with frequent departures from London and airports across the country, which makes cheap flights to Amsterdam ideal for a weekend away. Trains from Schiphol reach Amsterdam Centraal in around 15 minutes. Spring is popular for the tulip fields, so book early if you want to travel then.
