Boka innan du ger dig av
Pre book Anne Frank House & Van Gogh museum.
For sure pre book the Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum. Tickets for most museums can be pre booked online and means you can avoid the queues.
In general it's always best to pre book restaurants especially for Friday & Saturday evenings.
