Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, is famous for its 17th-century historical atmosphere, combined with the attributes of a modern metropolis. The small scale buildings and the intimacy of the streets, canals and squares offer a unique, village-like feeling. And to top it all, it's open minded, friendly and very relaxed!

The city has the highest number of museums in the world and is home to many cultural highlights, such as the Van Gogh Museum, the Anne Frank House, Hermitage Amsterdam and the Rijksmuseum with Rembrandt's world-famous ‘The Night Watch.' Other well-known places of interest in Amsterdam are the Royal Palace, the ARTIS Royal Zoo, the Jewish Historical Museum and the Rembrandt House. Take a canal tour and discover the historical canal district, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2011. Another popular way to get round Amsterdam is by bike. It will make you feel like a local and it's a great way to experience the unique atmosphere in the city.
