Peak season vs Low season
- Amsterdam gets crazy busy in the summer, from June to August. Expect lots of people, higher prices, and warmer weather. This means waiting in line for the Van Gogh Museum might take a while.
- On the flip side, winter (November to February) is Amsterdam's low season With fewer crowds, better deals, and cooler weather. The museum will be much more relaxed, with shorter lines, giving you more time to enjoy Van Gogh's masterpieces and maybe even some festive cheer!
