With its rich history, artistic legacy, intricate canal system, and abundance of museums, Amsterdam is one of the most wonderful cities in the world to visit.
And to help you make the most of your time in this beautiful city here's our list of the top five things to do while you're in Amsterdam
1. Take a canal ride
The canals of the Netherlands were built for defence and transportation, running through some of the country's most beautiful scenery and cities. Enjoying a canal ride in Amsterdam gives you a unique perspective on the city's architecture and landscape.
2. Take a walk through the wildflowers
Amsterdam takes great pride in its bulb flowers, especially tulips. Visit the amazingly vibrant bulb flower park in Lisse if you dream of seeing the tulips in all their glory. If you happen to miss the tulip season, don't worry. Lisee park is full of bulbed flowers that grow year-round.
3. Visit one of the many art or history museums
Check out paintings by Rembrandt, Van Gogh, or other world-renowned artists or revisit history by walking into the Anne Frank House, where you can see the secret annexe where Anne hid during World War II.
4. Walkthrough De Wallen, the nation's red-light district.
Although it's famous for some risky behaviour, there is much more to the city. Try out one of the district's fine restaurants, or small boutiques, or find more responsible entertainment at any of the places not lit up with red lights. For a faster way to venture through, rent a bicycle. You'll find that you can rent a bike nearly anywhere in the Netherlands.
5. Experience an authentic coffee house
You mustn't leave Amsterdam without trying some authentic Dutch cuisine and if you're so inclined, visit a cannabis coffee house. People travel all over the world to Amsterdam to encounter these coffee shops in person. In Amsterdam, marijuana is simply a way to unwind, and these coffee houses are some of the most reputable and reliable sources to enjoy a delicious bite to eat and a puff of smoke as you dine.
