Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands and is known for its history, especially from the golden age. Remarkable here are the canals with the beautiful arched bridges, the façade houses and endless museums from this period such as the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum. In addition, many people visit Amsterdam for the cozy streets in the city centre with all its nice streets and squares and bars and cafes. Visiting Amsterdam by bike or canal boat is highly recommended and visitors who love shopping don't have to be bored either.
