What's the difference between this Amsterdam & the Netherlands guidebook and Rick's Pocket Amsterdam guide?

The biggest difference: The full-size Rick Steves Amsterdam & the Netherlands is not only a comprehensive guide to the Netherlands' most exciting city, but also covers Rick's favorite Dutch destinations beyond Amsterdam.

Rick Steves Pocket Amsterdam works best for people taking a short trip, or perhaps a return trip, to Amsterdam — and not venturing beyond it. Like our other Pocket guides, Pocket Amsterdam is smaller than the complete guidebook (and in full color), but still offers our best sightseeing advice and a handful of self-guided city walks and museum tours.

For travelers who want to delve deep into Amsterdam — or travel elsewhere in the Netherlands, the full-size guidebook is a better option. It offers complete chapters for plenty more Dutch destinations, as well as more substantial (and more frequently updated) advice on Amsterdam itself: practicalities, sightseeing, self-guided tours, hotels, restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and the city's history and culture.

Latest updates: When we learn of critical changes to the information in our guidebooks on the Netherlands, we post them. (Of course, it's still smart to reconfirm critical transportation and sightseeing details locally.) Armed with a Rick Steves guidebook and these late-breaking updates, you're set for a great trip! Check our guidebook updates for the Netherlands.

Submit feedback: Once you've used this book in Europe, we'd love to hear your feedback — good or bad — about our advice on sights, hotels, restaurants, and travel tips. We're also interested in any tips or discoveries you made while in Europe. Your comments help us improve our guidebooks for future travelers.

The information is great as always. But the book binding is subpar. It is difficult to open a spread and read without holding the pages open. And the pages immediately close the minute they are released. Hard to make notes or flip back and forth from one section to another.

A lot of information. Very comprehensive

Rick Steves books are our go to source for all travel!

The Rick Steves travel books are always great!

AS Always....Rick Steves books guide you to the best places and allow you to explore the lesser travelled and immerse

As always so easy to use and helpful. We always by Rick Steves guides when they feature a city we will visit.
One thing would be helpful: place the published date where users can find them.

Your guidebooks are always clear, concise and reliable. I’ve already got mine highlighted and I’m ready to go!

I expected this book to be very detailed and inclusive, however, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of detail included in this guidebook! We are looking forward to a trip to The Netherlands this fall and the guidebook has been very helpful in our planning - thank you!
