Amsterdam

Canals, bikes and Golden-Age art — flat, compact and made for wandering.

When to go: April (tulips) & May–September — long days; book museums ahead always.

Best places to visit

Rijksmuseum

Culture

Rembrandt's Night Watch and Vermeer in one grand hall — the garden out back is free.

Jordaan

Culture

Amsterdam's prettiest quarter: narrow houses, hidden courtyards (hofjes) and brown cafés.

Canal ring (by foot or boat)

Must-see

The UNESCO-listed grachten — a small electric boat at dusk beats any tour bus.

Vondelpark

Outdoors

The city's green lung; rent a bike, picnic, and watch all of Amsterdam roll past.

Albert Cuyp Market

Eat & drink

Stroopwafels pressed fresh, herring stands and street food in the De Pijp district.

A'DAM Lookout

Best views

A 360° deck across the IJ — and a swing over the edge for the brave.
