A brief introduction to Amsterdam

The political capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam is an intersection of art and culture and boasts winding canals, tilted gabled buildings, eye-opening museums, and a thriving cafe scene.

Start your journey by visiting one of Amsterdam’s numerous premier galleries - many of which feature world famous paintings. Be sure to see the Self-Portrait at the Van Gogh Museum, a Vermeer hanging in the magnificent Rijksmuseum, or a Mondrian in the Stedelijk Museum. Art lovers can explore Rembrandt’s life and work in the Rembrandt House Museum, which has been reconstructed to resemble its 17th-century interior. No visit to Amsterdam is complete without a visit to the Anne Frank House, a biographical museum where the World War II diarist wrote her famous works.

You can also explore Amsterdam’s narrow laneways to uncover its treasures, with tiny boutiques, vintage stores, and distilleries dotted around the city in the most unexpected of places. From there you can enjoy a canal boat ride, or hire a bicycle and ride its many paths and parks, before resting for a theatre show in beautiful Vondelpark.
