While it does have a somewhat seedy reputation, what many people don’t realize is that this is one of the most beautiful and romantic cities within the world.

You’ll find many different cultures on Amsterdam holidays. You’d expect it to be quite a bustling city, but in fact it is pretty quiet. There’s fantastic transport links, an excellent nightlife scene and if you want to really fit in with the locals then hire a bike to explore this beautiful city.

Main Amsterdam Attractions

When booking holidays to Amsterdam, you’ll want to have a good idea of what attractions are available. This is because there is so much to do that you definitely won’t have time to do it all throughout your stay.

So you’ll need to pick the most important attractions that you’re interested in and head to them first.

You’ll find that holidays to Amsterdam mainly focus on Museum attractions. There are three famous museums that the country is famous for including the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum. However, there are many lesser known museums that you may want to check out while you’re there. Did you know that there are more than 50 different museums in the city?

Coffee shops play a large part in Amsterdam culture. Therefore make sure that you spend plenty of time on your holidays to Amsterdam sipping coffee in a local coffee bar. The one thing you’ll notice about the coffee bars in Amsterdam is that they can sell a little cannabis. Despite popular believe, hard drugs are prohibited in the country. There’s also a limit of how much cannabis a coffee shop can sell. So it’s worth knowing these rules before you go.

The canals of Amsterdam are another sight that shouldn’t be missed. Thanks to the canals, the roads aren’t as busy as they are in many other cities. It is thanks to the canal system that Amsterdam has been termed the ‘Venice of the North’. If you’re looking for something romantic to do then why not take a canal boat ride one night?

Rembrandtplein is a famous square in Amsterdam which is packed full of restaurants, shops, bars and hotels. This makes it incredibly popular with tourists.

If you’re new to the city then Amsterdam holidays based near this square would be a good choice.  It can get quite busy though so this is something that you should keep in mind.

It’s the nightlife in the city which makes many people opt for Amsterdam holidays. As well as lively bars and clubs, there’s also a wide selection of cinemas and theatres too. The Red Light District comes alive at night, as does the Dam Square and Rembrandtplein.
