TOP THINGS TO DO IN AMSTERDAM
Explore the canals
Amsterdam’s canals are a UNESCO World Heritage site at the heart of the city. A canal cruise is a must – glide past historic buildings, picturesque houseboats and stunning bridges. Many tours include a guide who will share fascinating stories about the city’s history. We recommend booking an unlimited cheese and cheese tour to see the magic of Amsterdam lit at night.
Visit the Rijksmuseum
Dive into Dutch history and art at this world-renowned museum. Admire masterpieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh and don’t miss the impressive library and gardens.
Step back in time at the Anne Frank House
This moving museum provides a touching look at life during World War II. Visiting the hiding place where Anne Frank wrote her famous diary is a emotional and unforgettable experience.
Wander through Vondelpark
Need a break from the city’s hustle? Vondelpark is the perfect oasis for a peaceful stroll, a bike ride or a relaxing picnic. It’s a favourite spot for both locals and tourists.
Discover A’dam Toren
For breathtaking views and a thrill, visit this 22-story tower. Adrenaline junkies, you have to experience Europe’s highest Over the Edge swing or if you’d prefer to keep your feet on the ground, enjoy cocktails at the Skybar while soaking in panoramic views of Amsterdam.

A CULINARY ADVENTURE IN THE ‘DAM
Amsterdam’s food scene is as diverse as its culture. Here are a few traditional dishes you have to try:
Poffertjes: mini, fluffy pancakes served with butter and powdered sugar.
Herring: a classic Dutch treat, served with onions and pickles. A bold choice, but worth it.
Stroopwafels: thin waffles filled with gooey caramel syrup – a street food favourite.
Cheese: sample some Gouda or Edam from local markets.
Genever Cocktails: try this traditional Dutch spirit, the precursor to gin, for a taste of “Dutch courage.”
Looking for a lively dining spot? Check out the Hard Rock Café, Belushi’s, try ‘the world’s best stroopwafels’ at Van Wonderen or the quirky Lost in Amsterdam bar for a cocktail and a chat.
