Culture, nightlife, art, architecture – when it comes to city breaks, Amsterdam has got it all. The capital of the Netherlands has long been one of Europe’s best-loved city break destinations. Explore this pretty city on foot, by tram, on canal boat or by bicycle. Its cobbled streets, attractive buildings and serene waterways ooze traditional charm, but Amsterdam is also alive with modern shops, nightlife and music venues. Then there’s the art – with work from world class masters like Rembrandt and Van Gogh, as well as cutting edge, present-day pieces. The theatre, museums and opera all add to the cultural delights on offer on Amsterdam holidays.
