What to see in Amsterdam
Must-sees
Amsterdam is explored on foot or by bike along its 17th-century canal ring, a World Heritage Site. Dam Square, with the Royal Palace, is the centre; nearby are the Anne Frank House, the Red Light District, the flower market and the streets of the Jordaan.
The Museum Quarter brings together the Rijksmuseum, with Rembrandt’s “Night Watch”, the Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk, next to Vondelpark. A canal boat trip is almost a must.
Free tours and guided visits
Amsterdam has free walking tours of the centre and day trips to Volendam, Marken, Edam and the Zaanse Schans windmills, and in spring to the Keukenhof tulips.
How long to spend
Three days cover the centre, the museums and a boat trip; with four there is time for a trip to the villages nearby.
Where to stay
The centre and the canals are the most convenient and expensive. De Pijp and the Museum Quarter are a little quieter, and Noord and Oost cheaper.
