Enjoying Amsterdam's canals
The city of Amsterdam is inseparable from the canals that run through it. They give it its special charm, in all seasons! The Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht are the three main canals. Bordered by very beautiful buildings with various architectures, they can be a pretext for very beautiful walks or boat trips (night and day)! Note that at the edge of the Singel canal, there is a magnificent flower market.
Go admire Dam Square
Located in the tourist and commercial center, Dam Square is the city's main square. It is bordered by monuments of the greatest importance such as the Royal Palace, the New Church but also by the Madame Tussauds museum, so many potential cultural visits for tourists eager for culture and entertainment!
Anne Frank House
Now open to the public, the Anne Frank House is also a must-see in the city of Amsterdam. This Jewish teenager hid in this house with her family during the German occupation. After two years spent in this hiding place, the family was denounced and only the father, Otto Frank, returned from the camps. Emotions guaranteed during this trip to the heart of history!
The Van Gogh Museum
Whether you are a fan of the painter or not, you cannot leave Amsterdam without having visited this museum! It contains more than 200 paintings including the most beautiful works of Van Gogh but you can also see exhibitions dedicated to the history of 20th century art. To avoid long waits, it is nevertheless advisable to book before your departure for Amsterdam.
Spend the evening in the red light district
Also known as the Red Light District, the Red Light District is located in the Old Town. Unusual, it houses the museum of eroticism, the museum of sex but there are also these famous windows behind which prostitutes wait for customers as well as many coffee-shops.
On the other hand, if you are traveling with your family, avoid the red light district, and check out these things to do with a child.
