Explore Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a compact city and most of its main sights and attractions can be reached easily on foot. Take time to explore the historic centre of Amsterdam - picturesque canals, grand 17th century merchant houses, world-class museums, countless little side-streets with hip boutiques and independent shops. Immerse yourself in the laid-back city atmosphere. |
You should also try to get out of the centre - spend a lazy afternoon in Vondelpark or exploring the Hortus botanical garden. Try one of our self guided walks along the Amstel river or the Ij waterfront developments. Or rent a bike and join the cycle mayhem. Taking a "rondvaart" glass-topped boat tour is a must-do activity to get another perspective of the city. |
