Identity
The Golden Age canals, a UNESCO World Heritage site
Amsterdam's canal network was dug in the 17th century, during the Dutch Golden Age, following a coordinated plan combining defense, drainage, transport and housing — such a well-executed piece of modern urban planning that it has remained functional as-is ever since, and was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010. Over 60 miles of canals and roughly 1,300 bridges shape the city, which most residents and visitors prefer to explore by bike, the mode of transport that embodies the city's everyday identity better than any other.
Not to be missed
The Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum
Among the city's roughly fifty museums, the Rijksmuseum traces the full sweep of Dutch history and holds masterpieces like Rembrandt's "The Night Watch" and Vermeer's "The Milkmaid." A few minutes' walk away, the Van Gogh Museum holds the largest collection of the artist's work anywhere in the world — around 200 paintings and 500 drawings, including several self-portraits and the Sunflowers series — tracing his entire career under one roof.
To discover
The Anne Frank House
Along the Prinsengracht canal, the house where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II is now a museum that traces, through her famous diary, one of the most widely read personal accounts of that period. Tickets must be booked online several weeks ahead, as demand stays high year-round.

Amsterdam's airport
One of Europe's biggest hubs
Amsterdam Schiphol
About 15 km from the city center, with excellent train connections.
To discover
The Jordaan, between canal houses and stroopwafels
Once a working-class neighborhood, the Jordaan has become one of the city's most sought-after areas, lined with cobbled streets, narrow canal houses and "brown cafés" (the traditional "bruine kroegen," their interiors weathered by decades of use). It's also the best place to try a stroopwafel, the thin waffle filled with caramel syrup invented in Gouda in the early 19th century — plenty of stalls still make them fresh and warm at the neighborhood's markets.
Day trip
Keukenhof, the largest tulip garden in the world
About a 45-minute drive from Amsterdam, the Keukenhof flower park covers 79 acres and draws over a million visitors each year for its millions of tulips and other bulb flowers, open only from mid-March to mid-May depending on the bloom. Many day tours combine the park with the surrounding tulip fields and a stop at a traditional windmill or cheese farm.
