Let me tell you that Amsterdam is the home of many incredible Hilltop castles, picturesque medieval towns and quaint cobblestoned streets. Let’s explore this lightly exploring the gems of Europe by its historic rivers. In this article we will guide you that what you must not miss in this city.
Explore the Canals
Amsterdam is the most water-rich city in the world and the best way to get a sense for the place is to follow its myriad pretty canals which are flanked by some 7000 historic buildings. The city itself is sectionalised by its canals and at its core is the 400-year-old UNESCO World Heritage canal ring.
Grab a map and meander, ticking off as many of the 165 waterways and nearby bridges,
cobbled towpaths, houseboats and olde worlde laneways as you can.
Visit a famous Museum
A culture vulture’s paradise, the Dutch capital is home to some of the best museums in the world.
Before tackling the big ticket ones, get an understanding of the city’s transformation over the last eight centuries at the Amsterdam Museum.
Next, head to the Rijksmuseum and its rotating display of around 8,000 objects from an archive of one million-plus. Nearby is the van Gogh Museum which houses 200-plus paintings and 550 sketches from the famed artist — the largest collection of his works in the world.
Travel the Markets
Speaking of the Pipe, its most famous claim to fame is its street market — the largest daily market in Europe. Stretching a kilometre, its 300 or so stalls sell everything from clothes to spices. But if market-hopping is your thing — and you happen to be docked when it’s on — then the monthly IJ-hallen should be your go-to.
The biggest flea market in Europe (also close to the cruise ship terminal) this Aladdin’s cave occupies two massive warehouses, in which more than 750 stalls sell everything from vintage fashion and antiques, to furniture and jewellery.
Inglude Your Taste buds
Taste authentic Amsterdam flavour by chomping your way through a few classic Dutch dishes.
While it’s divisive, pickled herring is a signature dish — pick up some at one of the many herring carts that pepper the city. Cheese is big here, so hit up at least one of the many kaas (cheese) shops. But the all-time favourite snack among Duchies is bitterballen. These deep fried meatballs are everywhere, though if you want sample the best then head to indoor food market, Foodhallen where a Michelin-starred chef has given the humble dish a gourmet makeover.
