The city of canals is quite diverse and has rich culture, vibrant nightlife, international cuisine and good transport. If you want to get a local experience of the place, you can rent a bike and explore every nook and corner of the city.

There are many places of attractions in the city that you shouldn’t miss-

Take a Cruise

If you feel like exploring the city on waters, you can do so by floating along the city’s famous canals. You can take a cruise and capture all the places you visit as it offers you a good vantage point for taking pictures. If you want to move away from the busy streets and see the city in a calm and peaceful atmosphere, you just need to take a cruise.

Visit the Anne Frank House

When in Amsterdam, do visit the historic and depressing house of Anne Frank. You can get claustrophobic in the rooms that are now empty but was once a place where Anne Frank and her inhabitants had to forcefully hide and live in silence for two long years.

The place is an interesting spot but gives you an intense feeling of grief and anxiety.

Visit a Coffee Shop

Amsterdam is quite famous for its coffee shops. The shops are a must visit place even if you are there only for coffee. These coffee shops are quite dark and seedy and sells cannabis more than coffee. Tourists above the age of 18 can have a taste of weed, hash and marijuana in a different and safe environment.

See the Red-Light District

The Red-Light District situated in De Wallen is a popular and fascinating place to visit. The Red-light area is filled with brothels, sex shops and museums. But the place is not that it seems to be and has a very friendly and safe atmosphere. The streets are filled with normal tourists but at night, the place turns into a different zone with bunch of people staring at the women standing by the red-lit windows.

Van Gogh Museum

It is a place where you can easily forget to keep track of time. The place gives you an insight into not only the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh but also his life. There are more than 200 paintings,500 drawings and more than 700 letters that depicts the story of a wise and troubled man behind the canvas. One will be awestruck to see the results of his panic-stricken work towards the end of his life, when he used to produce a painting every day
