Tourist information: Amsterdam

an 180 Countries
Amsterdam is one of the greatest small cities in the world.
From its canals to world-famous museums and historical sights,
Amsterdam is one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in Europe. Amsterdam is also a city of tolerance and diversity.
It has all the advantages of a big city: culture, nightlife, international restaurants, good transport - but is quiet, and largely thanks to its canals,
has a little road traffic.
In Amsterdam your destination is never far away, but get a bike for most authentic experience.

Amsterdam tourist attractions:

Museums are the main tourist attraction in Amsterdam.
Everyone knows the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum, but there is much more.
Amsterdam has over fifty museums which attract millions of visitors
each year.
See our suggested itineraries to explore these attractions.

The city’s gorgeous looks haven’t faded either.
The moments you spend ogling the old merchants’ villas,
the Jordaan’s charming lanes or the lush Vondelpark are as magical
now as in centuries past.
The cafés are full, the museums are littered with Golden Age art and everyone still parties like there’s no tomorrow.
Amsterdam is a delight to visit any time of year, but it’s hard to trump Queen’s Day, the world’s biggest party-cum–garage sale.
In summer there’s an endless parade of festivals and events such as the Holland Festival, the Roots Music Festival and the outrageous Gay Pride parade, as well as delightful concerts on canal stages.
This city is too relaxed to stop being fun.
To join in, all you need to pack is a few days’ attitude.
