What to do in Amsterdam? Discover the city smartly and comfortably with Staxi
Discover the city with Staxi
However, discovering the city efficiently can be challenging. Many of the most famous places are located in different parts of Amsterdam. Walking everywhere can take a lot of time, and figuring out public transport routes often interrupts the flow of your day.
That is exactly where Staxi makes the difference. Staxi organises your day in a way that allows you to see as much of Amsterdam as possible within the time you have available. Whether you have a few hours, a full day or several days in the city, Staxi ensures a smooth route through Amsterdam’s highlights.
You do not need to figure out how to travel from the canals to Museumplein, or from the Jordaan to Amsterdam North. Your Staxi driver takes care of the transport so you can focus entirely on discovering the city. This way you experience Amsterdam in a relaxed way, while still seeing many of its most famous places.

Staxi helps you see more of Amsterdam in the same amount of time
That is where Staxi makes the difference.
Instead of treating each destination as a separate journey, Staxi connects your entire day. You are picked up, brought to the first location, given time to explore and, whenever you are ready to continue, Staxi takes you comfortably to the next destination.
You do not need to think about:
- which tram or metro to take
- how long the route will take
- whether you are losing time with detours
- how to combine multiple places in a single day
Staxi takes care of the transport and the planning. You simply enjoy the city.
Many travellers also use Amsterdam as a base to explore other parts of the Netherlands. From the city it is surprisingly easy to reach places such as Giethoorn, Kinderdijk, Zaanse Schans or Volendam. With a private tour from Staxi, you can depart directly from Amsterdam and visit several of these highlights comfortably in one day.

Discover the famous canals of Amsterdam without spending half the day getting around
That is exactly why Staxi works so well here.
Staxi brings you to the canal area, gives you time to walk, take photos, enjoy the atmosphere and then takes you to the next destination once you are ready. You do not need to worry about how to move from one part of the centre to another.
Along the canals, you can enjoy:
historic canal houses from the Dutch Golden Age elegant bridges over the water cafés and restaurants by the canals houseboats and quieter residential sections of the city Instead of spending your energy on logistics, you can simply enjoy the area itself. Staxi makes it possible to include the canals as a proper stop in your day, not just as something you pass through on the way somewhere else.

Visit Museumplein and continue smoothly to the next highlight
But a museum visit is rarely the only thing people want to do.
That is why Staxi is so useful. Staxi takes you directly to Museumplein, lets you enjoy your visit at your own pace, and then picks up the day again by taking you comfortably to the next destination.
The main museums here are:
Rijksmuseum
The Dutch national museum with masterpieces such as The Night Watch.
Van Gogh Museum
The largest Van Gogh collection in the world.
Stedelijk Museum
A major museum for modern and contemporary art and design.
Museumplein works best when it fits naturally into the rest of the day. Staxi makes that happen. You get your time at the museum area, without letting the entire day revolve around transport before and after it.
-
Explore the Jordaan and let Staxi take you to the next stop
The Jordaan is one of the most charming neighbourhoods in Amsterdam. It is the kind of place where people want to slow down a little, walk around, look into side streets, stop for coffee and enjoy the atmosphere.
That only works well when the rest of the day is already taken care of.
With Staxi, the Jordaan becomes a real stop in your route, not a complicated detour. Your driver brings you there, you take your time in the neighbourhood, and when you are ready, Staxi takes you to the next part of Amsterdam.
In the Jordaan, you can:
- walk through historic streets
- enjoy quiet canals
- browse boutiques and vintage shops
- stop at a local café
- experience a more authentic side of the city
Because Staxi handles the movement between locations, you can enjoy the Jordaan without thinking ahead to the next transport step.
-
Add Vondelpark to your day without making your schedule complicated
This kind of stop makes a day in Amsterdam feel better. It gives variety. But it only works well if it fits easily into the route. That is exactly what Staxi does.
Staxi brings you to Vondelpark, gives you the time to enjoy the park, and then continues the day without interruption. You can walk, sit by the water, have a drink or simply slow down for a while, knowing the next part of the day is already taken care of.
At Vondelpark, visitors often enjoy:
- walking through the park
- relaxing on the grass
- sitting at a terrace
- taking a quiet break from the city centre
Staxi makes it easy to combine a place like this with museums, canals or other neighbourhoods, all within the same day.

Visit a market without turning it into a transport puzzle
Popular choices include:
Albert Cuyp Market
The best-known market in Amsterdam, with stroopwafels, Dutch cheese, street food, clothing and souvenirs.
Dapper Market
A more local and international market in Amsterdam East.
A market visit is most enjoyable when you can simply arrive, walk around, taste something, buy something if you want, and then continue your day.
That is what Staxi makes possible.
Staxi brings you to the market, gives you free time there, and once you are ready, takes you straight to the next destination. You do not need to figure out how to connect that market visit with the rest of your day. Staxi already does that for you.
-
Discover Amsterdam North without interrupting your plans
Amsterdam North is one of the most interesting parts of the city, but many visitors skip it because it seems difficult to include in their route.
Staxi changes that.
Instead of treating Amsterdam North as a complicated extra stop, Staxi makes it part of a logical city route. You can visit the historic centre, explore another neighbourhood and then discover the modern and creative side of Amsterdam.
Popular places in Amsterdam North include:
-
A’DAM Lookout with panoramic views
-
STRAAT Museum with street art
-
NDSM Wharf with restaurants, culture and events
This gives you a more complete picture of Amsterdam. Not only canals and museums, but also the modern side of the city.
And again the principle stays simple: Staxi brings you there, you enjoy the location, and the day continues.
For many visitors, Amsterdam is only the beginning of their journey. After discovering the city, travellers often want to see other famous places in the Netherlands such as windmills, tulip fields or traditional villages by the water.
From Amsterdam, Staxi also organises private tours across the Netherlands. During these tours you depart from the city and visit several well-known destinations outside Amsterdam without needing to arrange your own transportation.

Staxi helps you experience Amsterdam better
Amsterdam is not a city you experience fully by simply arriving somewhere. You experience Amsterdam properly when the entire day works smoothly. When you are not losing time on travel. When you do not waste energy on planning. When you do not constantly switch between walking, waiting and figuring things out.
That is exactly where Staxi makes the difference.
Staxi ensures that:
✓ you see more of the city in the time you have
✓ your route remains logical and relaxed
✓ you do not have to think about transportation between locations
✓ you travel comfortably with a professional driver
✓ you know in advance what to expect
Instead of a loose collection of stops, you get a day that fits together naturally. That is not only easier, it simply makes the experience much more enjoyable.
And the same applies to the rest of the Netherlands. For travellers who want to explore beyond Amsterdam, Staxi also makes it easy to discover other famous destinations outside the city. A day in Amsterdam can therefore easily connect to a private tour through the Netherlands.
