In this short post we decided to highlight some of the best attractions that await you in the city.

If you are interested in history and culture, Amsterdam offers you some of the most amazing museums and art galleries. Start off at the Rijksmuseum, the Dutch National Museum, housing some of the best artifacts and pieces of art from the Dutch Golden Era. It also features many objects from the Dutch exploration of the World and it is a truly amazing place to visit.

Van Gogh museum should be another must see place on your what to do in Amsterdam list. Showcasing over 200 of his paintings as well as sketches, letters and other memorabilia, the museum is a great introduction to this artist who was completely misunderstood by his peers. The museum also houses a number of art works from Van Gogh peers, making it a great introduction into the artistic life of the times.

Any history buff will be delighted to visit the Anne Frank House, a home where the Frank family were hiding for 2 years from the German occupants. The house is now a museum dedicated to Anne Frank with the original of her diary on the display.

If however, you are more into fun things, you can enjoy a boat cruise on the Canal Ring or spend some time on the Plage beaches where you can swim, bath, play and relax, weather permitting of course.

Shopping is another great aspect of the city. Shopping markets like Dam Square or Magna Plaza offer some of the best collections of clothes, accessories, food and more.

Amsterdam nightlife is another thing not to miss, if you are into ending the day in a club, casino or a bar. The city offers some of the best clubs to relax, unwind, enjoy some expensive wines, music and dance the night away.
