About Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a city that keeps visitors coming back, with something new to discover every time. Known as one of Europe's most relaxed cities, it delights with its canals and unique buildings.

The city has plenty of cultural attractions. Visit the Van Gogh Museum, see Dutch art at the Rijksmuseum, or visit Anne Frank's house, where she wrote her famous diary during World War II.

Shoppers will enjoy De Negen Straatjes ('Nine Streets') with its small shops and vintage finds. The floating Bloemenmarkt (Flower Market) is perfect for photos, while Kalverstraat has popular brand stores.

Amsterdam's food options show influences from around the world, including Indonesian food and Argentinian steaks. Street food is everywhere, and fries with mayo are a local favourite. Beer lovers should try the Heineken Experience.

In April, King's Day brings street parties in orange as the city celebrates the king's birthday. In June, private gardens by the canals open to visitors, showing a quieter side of Amsterdam.
