amsterdam place to stay + itinerary
Hi!
I'm looking for a place to stay in amsterdam for 1 or 2 nights.. maybe a midrange hotel or bnb, around the inner canal area, simple, clean and maybe new if possible and affordable.
I'm also looking to see if my itinerary is doable. we are two people in our early30s who just want a short glimpse of amsterdam before we head on to switzerland.
Friday - arrive at 10am via dutchflyer ferry, chek in at hotel, eat, see some sights/canal boat, go to Keukenhof, back to hotel
Saturday - go to Keukenhof (if we werent able to do so the day before), just eat, walk, sightsee, then on to switzerland in the evening
Thanks in advance!

IME weekends at Keukenhof are much more crowded than week days - locals are more likely to go on a weekend - I'd go to the Keukenhof as soon as you check in - then you can take a canal boat tour after dark when to me it is nicer even due to the illuminated bridges, etc. - Kind of magical at night.

Keukenhof is always the same when open - most of the flowers and plants are in hothouses - showcasing the wares of Holland's flower growers - save for some outside flowers the bulk of its IME was inside hothouses. Well worth a visit anytime IMO.
