A brief introduction to Amsterdam

A heady combination of canals, culture and cafes, the capital of the Netherlands is a city ripe for exploration. Each corner offers a new surprise; wander through its unique tilted gabled buildings and get ready to explore treasure-packed museums, boutiques shops selling vintage wares, and Dutch gin distilleries.

Foodies will appreciate Amterdam’s local food scene - whether it’s brunch in the De Pijp neighbourhood, bitterballen Dutch meatballs in Nieuwmarkt, or Dutch apple pie in Jordaan. Be sure to visit the urban oasis of Vondelpark, which is only a few minutes walk from the Canal Belt in the city centre, and the perfect place for a tranquil stroll.

The native home of Vincent van Gogh also hosts a wealth of art, including the world’s largest collection of pieces by the legendary painter at the Van Gogh Museum. The Rijksmuseum is also home to great Dutch artworks by Rembrandt and Vermeers, while the Stedelijk Museum counts more international artists among its collection.

Elsewhere in the city, Anne Frank Huis draws more than a million people to Amsterdam each year, offering a powerful insight into modern history.
