More About Amsterdam
Brightly painted bicycles, fields of boldly-hued tulips, vibrant images captured on canvas, and glowing lanterns reflected off the waterways at night - this is a city full of history and color. Home of world-class art museums dedicated to Dutch painters such as Van Gogh and Rembrandt, the beauty found inside is also reflected in the architecture and nature found outside. Day trips in the city can easily be filled with sampling Dutch cheeses and pastries while strolling picturesque bridges, comparable with those in Venice or Bruges. Or take a short drive to see the iconic windmills and flower gardens of the Netherlands. Culture, nature, and adventure are awaiting in Amsterdam.

- Rijksmuseum: Centrally located, this is a national art museum with paintings, sketches and other mediums from artists such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Van Gogh.
- De Jordaan: One of Amsterdam's most famous neighborhoods, which is lined with 17th century houses, cafes, and boutiques, but also the home of diarist Anne Frank. The canal is lined with trees and picturesque buildings.
- Keukenhof: This garden is a showcase for bulb flowers, which the Dutch have been cultivating for centuries. Spring is probably the best season to visit, to see the tulips in blossom.
- Zaanse Schans: This area, a quick drive or train ride from Amsterdam, could be called an outdoor museum. Full of transplanted barns, windmills and other buildings, it serves as a living monument to Dutch ingenuity and culture.
