Your Guide To Amsterdam For IBC2022
29/08/2022
Veterans are itching to get their hands on some bitterballen, while newbies like me ask too many questions about the Red Light District.
You read that right: IBC2022 will be my first time in Amsterdam. I asked my colleagues (and consulted my Rick Steves' Amsterdam guidebook) about what to expect, which led me to this amazing list of travel tips that are just too good to keep to myself.
So, whether you're an IBC first-timer or first-time-in-a-whiler, here's your guide to the amazing city of Amsterdam in September 2022.

alt= class=wp-image-10866 data-lazy-src=/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Amsterdam_IBC2022_travel_guide_bikes.jpg/> Getting Around Amsterdam When it's time to visit Amsterdam for IBC2022, do as the Dutch do and rent a bicycle. It's a great way to commute to the conference and explore the city.
You can rent a bike-complete with a sturdy bike lock-at one of many local shops, including at RAI Amsterdam when you pick up your IBC badge. Helmets are neither necessary nor popular, though you are riding at your own risk.
While thousands of bicycles on the road lower the city's carbon footprint, it adds a whole new dimension to traffic. Amsterdam has three layers of traffic-foot, bike, and vehicular-each with their own lane. It's important to stay in yours, or you could find yourself on the pavement before you can yell Hey, I'm walkin' here!
Off the beaten bike path, public transportation is the best way to get around Amsterdam. The tram is super convenient, and a quaint little experience to boot. The Amsterdam Travel Ticket offers unlimited tram, metro, bus, and ferry rides during your stay, which is great because I like my travel the way I like my shared storage servers: with everything I need included.
alt= class=wp-image-10871 data-lazy-src=/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Amsterdam_IBC2022_travel_guide_houseboats.jpg/> Best Places To Stay In Amsterdam For IBC From cozy bed-and-breakfasts to lavish suites worth the splurge, and pretty much everything in between, there are tons of lodging options for your week- or weekend-long stay in Amsterdam.
IBC2022 negotiates discounted rates at many hotels around RAI Amsterdam and throughout the city, but don't be afraid to check out options that aren't on the official IBC hotel list.
For a truly authentic experience, try renting a flat and blending in with the locals. Better yet, rent a houseboat and enjoy your evenings people-watching from your deck on the Amstel River. You won't regret it.
alt= class=wp-image-10873 width=800 height=450 data-lazy-src=/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Amsterdam_IBC2022_travel_guide_rai_amsterdam.jpg/>Credit: tonyv3112 - stock.adobe.com Things To Do In Amsterdam At IBC2022 I know, I know. It's a work trip. But that doesn't mean you can't squeeze in a little fun, right? If you have time to fit a few tourist attractions into your itinerary, here are some top-rated things to do in Amsterdam in September 2022.
For the record, we aren't getting any kickbacks from these events and attractions. Just sharing some fan-favorites from the SNS crew based on years of experience visiting Amsterdam for IBC.
alt= class=wp-image-10870 data-lazy-src=/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Amsterdam_IBC2022_travel_guide_heineken_experience.jpg/> For Foodies: Heineken Experience This is on the top of everyone's list. I'm not even a beer drinker (gasp!) and I'm dying to go. Check out the Heineken Experience to tour the very first Heineken brewery and learn the history behind the world's most famous beer. Proost!
I've also heard great things about Restaurant Luna, SkyLounge Amsterdam, and CAU Steak Restaurant. And the french fries, or pommes frites, put even the best American potatoes to shame. (Go native and dip your fries in mayonnaise for the full experience.) Also, if you see the opportunity to wrap something in a waffle, do it.
No matter where you're staying, you're practically guaranteed to have a few local pubs within walking distance from your hotel at IBC2022. Stop in for a bite, a drink, and some good company. Locals are very friendly and interested in finding out about you.
alt= class=wp-image-10867 data-lazy-src=/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Amsterdam_IBC2022_travel_guide_canal_cruise.jpg/> For Adventurers: Canal Cruise Venice of the north, the city of canals-Amsterdam is known for its web of waterways. An hour-long canal cruise can give you a whole new perspective on the city, and it's a great way to decompress from a long day (or night) of networking.
There are many beautiful parks to explore and open air events in Amsterdam. For sports enthusiasts who don't mind skipping out on IBC for a day, pack an orange shirt. Ajax plays Heerenveen at Johan Cruijff ArenA on Saturday, 10 September.
alt= class=wp-image-10877 width=800 height=450 data-lazy-src=/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Amsterdam_IBC2022_travel_guide_van_gogh_museum.jpg/>Credit: markobe stock.adobe.com For Creatives: Van Gogh Museum Why go to Van Gogh? One of Amsterdam's most popular museums, the Van Gogh Museum hosts the world's largest collection of Vincent van Gogh's finest works. It's well worth an hour or so if you have time to wander the exhibits.
Other fantastic sights for art buffs and creatives include Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum, Rembrandt's House, and the EYE Film Institute Netherlands. Or just explore the city with your camera in hand, letting inspiration lead the way.
