With its characteristic canals (UNESCO World Heritage) surrounded by narrow, low and crooked 17th-century houses, Amsterdam is, without a doubt, one of the most charming capital cities in Europe.

With a rich cultural life and a wide range of entertainment, Amsterdam is a full-scale city which has managed to retain its small-town feel. Highlights include the Van Gogh Museum, the Royal Palace and the Anne Frank House, but also the Zaanse Schans, Keukenhof flower garden and the traditional cheese market in the surrounding area.
