Why Travel to Amsterdam?
🚲 The City of Bicycles and Canals
Amsterdam is known as the "Venice of the North" with over 100 kilometers of canals winding through the city. The best way to explore is by bike or canal boat. Ride along cobbled streets lined with 17th-century houses, or enjoy a sunset cruise on the water.
🖼️ Rich Culture and Art
Art and history lovers will feel right at home. Visit the Rijksmuseum, home to Rembrandt’s masterpieces, or stop by the Van Gogh Museum to see the artist's most iconic works. The Anne Frank House is a must-see for its powerful storytelling and historical significance.
🌷 Parks, Markets, and Tulips
Relax in Vondelpark, shop for souvenirs or vintage finds at the Albert Cuyp Market, and if you're visiting in spring, don’t miss the stunning tulip displays at Keukenhof Gardens, just outside the city.

Try traditional Dutch treats like stroopwafels, herring, and pannenkoeken (Dutch pancakes). Pair your meal with a local beer or enjoy a tasting tour at the Heineken Experience.
