Amsterdam is a wonderful, walkable city. Lines at the Anne Frank museum are always long. Arrive as early as possible and expect a queue. Purchase an "I am Amsterdam City card" and use it for the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandt House and the Stedelijk Museum, and more as well as free public transport for the duration of your trip. The City of Amsterdam museum will give you a great overview of how the city developed and how it is today. Take a canal boat tour. There are free walking tours (Sandemans New Amsterdam Tours) which are informative and show you places not on the regular tours. Visit a cheese shop - sample and buy. Visit a coffee shop and indulge if you are inclined. With a little planning, you can see a lot in three days and enjoy this great city.
