Am planning a day trip from Paris to Amsterdam & return. Will arrive in Amsterdam at about noon and will return to Paris in the evening. I see that there is a hop-on / hop off bus. Any suggestions?

There is probably a hop-on/hop-off boat. We used one a few years ago and it stops in some convenient places.

LOVE Amsterdam…….walk along the canals, eat a stroopwafel, find a lovely place to enjoy a meal while watching the canal boats glide by…..we LOVED the Rijksmuseum but you may not have time to do that……go to Van Stepele and eat their incredible cookies made on the spot that will melt in your mouth!

Is there any way you could at least spend the night in Amsterdam? A day trip would mean at least 7 hours on the train and make for a very short visit. Depending on the time of year you might also have limited daylight. If you're set on only a day trip, if there are any specific museums you want to see (Anne Frank House, Van Gogh, Rijksmuseum) be sure to buy advance tickets and be aware of the timeframes to secure tickets for specific dates.
