Why visit Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands and one of Europe's most iconic cities. Known for its liberal atmosphere and rich history, Amsterdam is a popular tourist destination for travelers from all over the world, and particularly for young people.


One of Amsterdam's main attractions is its canals, which are found throughout the city. The canals are famous for their houseboats and tour boats, and offer a unique view of the city.


In addition to the canals, Amsterdam is known for its art and culture. Between each attraction, beautiful squares and parks for a bike ride, another symbol of the city and its lifestyle. It is not for nothing that centuries ago the Jewish community gave the city the nickname "Mokum", safe haven.


Amsterdam also stands out as a city full of nightlife, with a wide variety of bars, nightclubs and cafes. The Red Light District is famous for its illuminated shop windows and cocktail bars, while the city center has a large number of places to enjoy the night.


In case you didn't know, Amsterdam is known for its diversity, with a wide variety of ethnic and cultural communities, making this city a unique and cosmopolitan place. It is a city full of history, culture and fun, and the friendliness of the locals makes the city even more enjoyable!

We share with you 36 places to visit distributed in the following categories:

The city of canals. The contagious energy of Amsterdam invites you to relax and get lost in its streets full of bicycles and tulips.

8 Museums, Galleries and Palaces

Amsterdam has the highest density of museums per surface area in the world. The Van Gogh Museum is one of the city's most visited museums and houses some of the most famous works by an artist who wins you over with his empathy. The Rijksmuseum is another important museum that was relocated from The Hague; it houses a wide variety of Dutch and international art.


One of the most touching and moving places in Amsterdam is undoubtedly the Anne Frank Museum, where you can learn the real and personal story of one of the most famous victims of the Holocaust by reading the diary she wrote while in hiding during World War II. Or if you're a boat lover, then you can't miss the National Maritime Museum, which has a wide variety of antique ships and scale models, including a replica of an imposing Dutch East India Company freighter.

10 Monuments and Landmarks

Amsterdam was nicknamed the "Venice of the North" because of its many canals and economic importance - for example, the first stock exchange in history was founded there in 1602. But despite its worldwide fame, Amsterdam only became the capital of the Netherlands in 1983, replacing The Hague.


All the monuments and sights on our list are connected by the city's complex network of canals, which stretches for more than 100 kilometres. In fact, the canal area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.

5 Churches and Temples

One of the most famous is St. Nicholas Basilica, also known as the "Fishermen's Church", built in the 14th century and famous for its Gothic stained glass windows and 500-year-old bell. Amsterdam's oldest Old Church and is famous for its huge bell and hanging clocks.


Another impressive one is the New Church, built in the 17th century in baroque style and known for its interior decoration, as well as being the burial place of the great Dutch admirals. Although Christian rites are no longer performed here, special events still take place, such as the marriage (2002) and investiture (2013) of King William and Queen Máxima.

8 Squares and Parks

There are more than 40 parks in the Dutch capital, complementing the aquatic environment that surrounds and nourishes them. Local transport is also an ideal way to make the most of them: according to city council figures, there are more bicycles than people in Amsterdam!


The Vondelpark is everyone's favourite: it attracts more than 10 million people every year. But you can also enjoy the Westerpark or the Oosterpark, which have recurring gastronomic and musical events as well as entertainment.

5 Experiences and Activities

If you have some extra time left over after your tours, or if you prefer to get to know Amsterdam in a more "hands-on" way, we recommend several activities. You can enjoy an explanatory tour with a tasty beer, dine in the dark or dress up as the main character of a painting and have your photo taken - it's up to you!
