Amsterdam is the city for everyone. For those who love breath-taking architecture, culture and history, Amsterdam is for you, with over 37 museums and its picturesque beauty. For those who prefer the party lifestyle, Amsterdam is also for you. With its wealth of bars, restaurants, clubs and cafés, there will definitely be something to tempt you. This is the ultimate diverse city, so don’t let the hear-say of the Red Light District worry you; this relatively small part of the city is overpowered by the rest of the city’s beauty and culture.
For those of you who are interested in the cultural side of this magnificent city you will be in for a treat. A great place to start would be Museum Square, where Amsterdam’s three main museums are located. Here you can visit the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk and the world-famous Van Gogh museum. For fans of Van Gogh, this will definitely be a highlight as it is home to the biggest collection of original Van Gogh paintings in the world- a true must-see. Another museum which should definitely be visited is Anne Frank’s House. This extremely popular attraction is a little piece of history in itself. Here is where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazi takeover of the Jews during World War II. The house itself is very small and is very touching- a great excursion if interested in the era of the Second World War.
