Travelling to AMSTERDAM at a Time of Overtourism | A Guide for 2024

Amsterdam is a city at a crossroads with tourism. Its increasing popularity over the recent years has resulted in overtourism, which the city is actively working to address. In this video, I outline the impacts of overtourism on the city, examine changes the city is implementing to address it, including costs and changes to the Red Light District, and offer travel tips for those still eager to go.

Great video! Planning a visit here this 2024 and it's crazy how the new taxes will affect the overall cost of a trip there.

Thank you, very imformative. Does the tourist tax extend outside of the city? I have an airbnb booked on the coast in Zandvoort this November. Looks to be a good spot, only a 30 minute train ride Amsterdam Centraal.

Thanks! What I mentioned applies to Amsterdam itself - but other towns/cities may have their own tourist taxes.
