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 atmosphere of a laid-back city.

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. Hop on a ferry and head over to the eerie NDSM wharf.
