Amsterdam (häftad, eng)

Picture-book beautiful, Amsterdam is one of the great cities of Europe and a feature on every traveller’s bucket list – for its unique concentric canal system dating from the 17th century, its vibrant nightlife, fascinating museums, and cosmopolitan, feelgood atmosphere.

There are few major cities in the world that are so comfortable for exploring on foot or by bicycle, with every corner turned revealing new wonders. In the pages of Amsterdam, see Dam Square, the heart of the city and home of the Royal Palace (Koninklijk Palace); discover the Vondelpark, the city’s main green space and dotted with ponds and paths; stroll the streets of the Jordaan, the city’s liveliest neighbourhood and home to garden courtyards, lively markets and upscale eateries; learn about the Anne Frank Museum, dedicated to the Holocaust victims of the city; and explore the Albert Cuyp covered market, where you can buy cheese, caramel waffles (‘stroopwafels’) and herrings from the North Sea.
