Hotels in Amsterdam

Canals thread through this city like liquid streets, where bicycles outnumber people and tilting gabled houses seem to whisper centuries of secrets. The Rijksmuseum showcases Dutch Masters while nearby, the Van Gogh Museum houses the largest collection of Vincent's swirling masterpieces. Dam Square buzzes with activity around the Royal Palace, where the monarchy still conducts official business. The Anne Frank House offers a sobering glimpse into wartime hiding, while the floating Flower Market bursts with impossible tulip colors. After dark, cozy brown cafés serve perfect beers in spaces unchanged for generations. For the best canal views, grab a bench at the intersection of Prinsengracht and Brouwersgracht, where locals still marvel at their impossibly photogenic hometown.
