Hotel Verdi Amsterdam is on Wanningstraat, in the museum quarter. According to the hotel, it is right behind the Concertgebouw. It is a practical option if your trip revolves around the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum.
Location and getting around
On foot, you reach the Van Gogh Museum in about 5 minutes. Allow about 10 minutes to the Rijksmuseum or the main entrance to Vondelpark; Leidseplein is a quarter of an hour away. Dam Square is about a 35-minute walk and Amsterdam Centraal station is about 2.9 km away, so for the historic centre the tram is the better option. The hotel says there is a direct tram from the Museumplein stop to Leidseplein, Dam Square and Amsterdam Centraal.

Who it suits
