Bonjour, amsterdam

With its characteristic canals (UNESCO World Heritage) surrounded by narrow, low, and crooked 17th-century houses, Amsterdam is, undoubtedly, one of the most charming capital cities in Europe. The rich cultural life and a wide range of entertainment make Amsterdam a full-scale city which has managed to retain its small-town feel. With over 50 museums, of which many are famous across the globe, this city is a real treat for art lovers: highlights include the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum.

Madame Tussauds Amsterdam

You won’t see so many celebrities gathered together anywhere else. From film stars to sporting heroes, from the Golden Age to modern times, national and international artists, Madame Tussauds truly has something for everyone.

Jordaan

The Jordaan is a neighbourhood of the city centre of Amsterdam, west of Prinsengracht canal. Originally a working-class neighbourhood, the Jordaan has become one of the most expensive, upscale and desirable locations in the country. It is home to gorgeous historical residential buildings with cute hofjes (inner courtyards), numerous modern art galleries, speciality shops, cafes and restaurants. Rembrandt spent the last years of his life in the Jordaan, on the Rozengracht canal. The Anne Frank House is located on the edge of the Jordaan, on the Prinsengracht canal. Many houses in the Jordaan have a stone tablet on their facade, displaying the profession or family sign of the inhabitants, such as scissors for tailors and a piglet for butchers. See how many you can spot!

Nxt Museum

Nxt Museum pioneers Amsterdam’s digital art frontier, where immersive installations dissolve the lines between technology and human perception. Housed in a repurposed industrial space, it commissions large-scale works that interrogate AI, virtual worlds and machine-driven realities. Past exhibitions have explored themes like fluid identities in digital realms ("UFO—Unidentified Fluid Other"), the impact of surveillance tech ("Shifting Proximities"), and kinetic sculptures that react to human movement ("Life in a Different Resolution"). The museum’s ever-evolving programming, from pulsating data sculptures to algorithm-generated soundscapes, demands active participation, not passive viewing. Recent shows like "Still Processing" warp light and sound to challenge how we interpret visual information. Ideal for tech-curious visitors, though those craving traditional art might find it jarring.

Royal Palace

The Koninklijk Paleis (Royal Palace) on Amsterdam’s Dam Square is one of three palaces still in use by the Dutch royal family. When not used for state visits, award ceremonies or other official functions, visitors can explore the magnificent interior and discover the rich history of the building.
