Golden Age canals, Rembrandt and Van Gogh, and a countryside of windmills a short ride away.

Amsterdam's 17th-century canal ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lined with gabled merchants' houses and crossed by hundreds of bridges. The Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House are all within easy reach on foot or by bike.

The city is compact, so it pairs well with nearby Haarlem, the windmills of the Zaan region and, in spring, the bulb fields around Lisse.
