Amsterdam

Famous for both its cultural highlights and its reputation as one of the world’s most fun-filled locations, the Netherlands’ main city of Amsterdam offers something for everyone. A lively city break for those seeking sizzling social hot spots, superb shopping opportunities and bustling cafes, Amsterdam is also distinguished by a pretty cityscape that unfurls around its famed canals and waterways.

Look beyond and Amsterdam is a city of great historical importance, from the 17th century canal houses, to the universally acclaimed Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, to the home of the tragic Anne Frank, one of Europe’s most visited historical attractions. Amsterdam is also the ideal centrepoint to explore further into the Netherlands, where picturesque countryside and lush parklands are waiting to be discovered.
