Amsterdam Flight

Flighys is a bit jealous! This city grabs your heart with canals, bike bells, and sweet stroopwafels. I spent weeks there and learned how to dodge bikes like a local.

Choosing the Perfect Backpack for Amsterdam Adventures

Let's start with the foundation: my trusty 40L travel backpack. I love it because it's

  • Perfect size for long trips, carry on friendly
  • Opens like a suitcase which is great for tight spots
  • Water resistant bag
  • Padded straps kept my shoulders happy after long walks

If you're hopping on trains or biking a lot, keep your bag simple and light. You'll thank yourself later.


Essential Documents and Travel Information

This is the "please don't mess this up" section  the stuff I always triple check before leaving home:

  • Passport  and photocopy
  • Travel insurance info
  • Credit/debit cards  and some euros cash
  • Visa/Schengen documents 
  • Rail pass or transport card
  • Printed bookings 

Pro tip: Save screenshots of train tickets, Airbnb codes, and important directions. It cuts stress when you’re rushing or have no WiFi.


Amsterdam Weather Ready Clothing Essentials

Amsterdam weather is moody, think warm sun, light wind, and rain… all in one afternoon. So, layers are life. Here's what worked for me:

  • 4 basic tops 
  • 2 cozy sweaters 
  • 1 nice blouse or dressy top
  • 2 pairs of jeans 
  • 1 pair leggings or joggers 
  • Light rain jacket 
  • Comfy shoes 
  • Ankle boots
  • Crossbody bag or small backpack

And yes, I packed a tiny travel umbrella. It rained five times in one day, and I'm still not over it.


Technology and Electronics for City Exploration

I tried to go light with tech and only brought what I knew I'd use:

  • Phone  and charger 
  • Universal adapter 
  • Power bank 
  • E reader 
  • Laptop 
  • Camera or phone tripod 

I packed light on makeup but did throw in a red lipstick  because a canal side dinner deserves a little glam.


Snacks and Comfort Items for Canal Side Living

These came in handy more times than I can count.

  • A couple of protein bars 
  • A reusable water bottle 
  • A tiny Tupperware container or silicone bag 
  • Tea bags 
  • Foldable shopping tote 
  • Reusable cutlery 

 

Bonus Items That Enhanced My Amsterdam Experience

  • A lightweight daypack 
  • Scarf 
  • Travel towel 
  • A journal 
  • Tiny laundry kit


Final Packing Philosophy: Let Amsterdam Fill the Gaps

What do I love about Amsterdam? It’s stylish, relaxed, and feels just right. Flighys says pack layers, comfy shoes, and leave room for cool finds like vintage clothes or a market tote. Whether you’re biking at sunset, writing in a café, or chilling by the canal with coffee, you’ll fall in love. Promise. Want a printable list or a shareable checklist? Just ask; Flighys has you covered.
