Activities
See & Do
Arm yourself with an Amsterdam card (on sale at the tourist office at the station), which allows you free or cut-price admission to many of the city sights. A classic canal boat tour is a great way to see everything from the water.
Culture vultures should home in on the Rijksmuseum, home to works of the great Dutch masters. The Van Gogh museum is another must-see, as is the moving Anne Franks’ House.
They don’t call Amsterdam the Venice of the North for nothing, so hire a bike at Hotel Roemer to pedal around the canal-lined streets, or have a stroll through the Vondelpark.
