The largest city and capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam’s world-class museums, vibrant history and excellent recreation make it a popular destination for over 4 million tourists a year.
Founded in the 14th century, Amsterdam is rife with history at every turn, from the 16th century orphanage that now houses the Amsterdams Historisch Museum, to the Reformation-era secret chapel in the attic of Amstelkring. One of the city’s most frequented historical sites is more recent, however; millions of people visit the Anne Frank Huis each year, to learn about the history and plight of the Frank family, and pay homage to the famed diarist’s memory.
Amsterdam is the cultural capital of the Netherlands, and boasts the country’s greatest museums. The massive Rijksmuseum on the Museumplein is home to an impressive collection of Dutch Golden Age Paintings, while the smaller but ever-popular Van Gogh Museum boasts the largest collection of the post-Impressionist’s works in the world.
The city is also world-famous for its nightlife, from the adults-only offerings of its infamous Red Light District, to the many bars and beer halls like In de Wildeman. Heineken also calls the city home, and visitors are welcome to enjoy a pint or two while touring the Heineken Brewery.
