Packing Smart for Amsterdam: The Ultimate Family Packing List

Packing for a family trip to Amsterdam might seem daunting, but with a little planning, you can bring everything you need without overloading your bags.

Start with the essentials—comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing (think layers, as Amsterdam’s weather can be unpredictable), and any special items your kids might need, like favourite toys or comfort objects. Since Amsterdam is a walk able city, a lightweight, foldable stroller is a must for younger kids. Don’t forget rain gear—lightweight raincoats and compact umbrellas will come in handy. For older kids, consider bringing a small backpack for them to carry their own snacks and water bottles. Renting baby gear locally is also an option, like car seats or cribs, it can lighten your load leaving those items at home! With this packing list, you’ll be ready for anything Amsterdam throws your way, and you’ll have more room for souvenirs!
