Amsterdam in June
When to go
KNMI's long-term climate averages for Schiphol, listed in the facts above, give June's average daily high and low and show rain on a share of the month's days, so a light rain layer is worth a place on your packing list. The Holland Festival's performing arts programme runs throughout June, and the Open Garden Days open Amsterdam's canal gardens to the public over a long weekend later in the month, with dates the I amsterdam calendar says are subject to change. Check both against your trip dates.

Where to stay
Compare whether the nightly rate you are shown includes the municipal tourist tax, which the City of Amsterdam sets as a percentage of the overnight price excluding VAT and applies to hotels, apartments and short-stay rentals alike. If you are weighing an apartment-style stay, read the city's holiday rental page too: it says a registration number is needed and must appear in listings, so look for it. Then check cancellation terms and whether your dates overlap with the Holland Festival or the Open Garden Days.
