There is much to experience in Amsterdam

Walking or cycling?

Amsterdam is arguably one of the most pleasant and accessible cities in the world. A cosmopolitan village where everything is perfectly accessible and easy to reach by bike, but of course you can also see a lot on foot. You can rent bikes in many places in the city, allowing you to explore the neighborhoods outside the center. This is where real Amsterdam life takes place. Visit the trendy De Pijp neighborhood, where life is bustling, but Oud West and Oost are also two up-and-coming trendy neighborhoods.

Nothing is mandatory, everything is possible: enjoy a walk through the old city center and don't forget to visit the so-called Nine Streets, where you will find charming boutiques instead of large international chains. Visit the famous Beguinage.

The Rijksmuseum

The pride of the Dutch nation is the Rijksmuseum. Located on the edge of the city center in the chic Zuid district. In the Rijksmuseum, you can admire famous masterpieces from the Golden Age, but in addition to paintings, there are also many utensils from previous centuries. Our tip is to use the audio tour so you can learn the background information.

Anne Frank home

Amai wie kent haar niet? Anne Frank. Misschien wel de beroemdste Amsterdammer van alle tijden. Het van origine Duits Joodse meisje dat in de Tweede Wereld oorlog ondergedoken zat in het zogenaamde Achterhuis. Na de oorlog vond men de dagboeken van Anne waarna deze uitgebracht zijn in het wereldberoemde boek "het dagboek van Anne Frank". Een bezoek aan de plek waar de familie Frank een aantal jaren heeft doorgebracht is dan ook een must. Boek van te voren tickets zodat u verzekerd bent van entree. You can find tickets here

The Hermitage

The Dutch branch of the famous Hermitage in St. Petersburg (Russia). The collection changes regularly and will take your breath away.

De Hallen

Ever visited a covered market in southern Europe? In Holland, you will find a modern version of this. De Hallen was created in a former tram depot. Here you will find a selection of stalls selling delicious food, but you will also find a real gin bar. Ideal for when the weather outside is not so inviting for outdoor dining.

Markets & Sunday shopping

Three very famous markets in Amsterdam are the Dapper market in the East district, where you will find mainly food and utensils. Another well-known market is the one on Waterlooplein, which is more like a flea market. The most famous market in the Netherlands is undoubtedly the Albert Cuijp market in the Pijp district. None of the markets are regularly open on Sundays.
