🇳🇱 The Netherlands

Weather: Daytime high 68–73°F · evening / night low 55–60°F.
Note 1: Currency: the euro (€). Amsterdam is the easiest city of the trip for cards — use a card for most purchases (restaurants, museums, hotels, shops, transit).
Note 2: Carry only a small amount of euro cash for tips, small cafés and markets. If you need cash, use a bank ATM; avoid the currency-exchange booths, whose rates are usually worse.
Note 3: Pack as for the rest of the trip: short-sleeve shirts for the day, a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings, and comfortable walking shoes.
