The City of Canals & Culture
Amsterdam is one of Europe's most charming cities — a labyrinth of 17th-century canals, gabled merchant houses, world-class museums and a culture of extraordinary creativity. In spring, the tulip fields of Keukenhof explode in colour just 30 minutes from the city.
The Rijksmuseum holds Rembrandt and Vermeer originals. The Anne Frank House is one of the world's most moving memorials. And the Jordaan neighbourhood's brown cafés are where Amsterdam's real soul lives.
