How do you choose visits without rushing?
Keep the evening for the official light route. For a separate heritage walk, connect the Carré area, Magere Brug and the Amstel quays.
Choose two or three places in one area. Note booked time slots, allow for travel and leave a margin for queues. A distant venue deserves a separate journey.
