Amsterdam, with its
abundance of bars and infamous Red Light District, is known around the world as
the premier party city. But the Dutch
capital is famous for much more than partying, it’s internationally renowned
for its 17th-century canals, its canal houses with beautiful facades, its
museums great and small, and, of course, its coffee shop culture.
Once full of cattle and sheep for sale, this pretty square overlooking a canal is now the starting point for canal boat cruises and a great spot for morning coffee.
The past comes alive at Lieden’s National Museum of Antiquities, where you’ll explore cultures of the ancient Egyptians, the Romans, Greeks, Syrians and Persians.
