Anne Frank's house
This stunning story of war-time fate should reduce even the most cold-blooded fascist to tears. The original house has been extended to house a collection of artifacts and stories which take you through these troubled times. If you havn't read the book, you can buy a copy for a good price at the end of your visit. Picture courtesy of another member I forgot who - sorry! Leave a Comment Other Contact: Website:

Canals
The Canals really make Amsterdam a beautiful city. There is nothing like a bit of water to add excitment to a place and Amsterdam sure has lots of water! Take a boat trip round. You can either go on a big cruiser or hire a boat yourself. If you don't fancy boating, just take in the scenary sat on the side of the canals. Leave a Comment Address: Central Amsterdam

Dam Square
Lots too see! War memorial, bars, street entertainers, Koninklijk Paleis, Maddam Tussauds. The heart of Amsterdam. Only streets away is the Red Light District as well as endless numbers of shops, restaurants and bars. Leave a Comment Address: Slap bang in the centre of Amsterdam!

Het Rijksmuseum
Houses the largest collection of art and history in the Netherlands. The museum has an internationally renowned collection based around the paintings of the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic, the Golden Age, including twenty works by Rembrandt, four by Vermeer and numerous other paintings by artists such as Frans Hals and Jan Steen. Displayed at the very heart of the museum is Rembrandt’s Night Watch. But the museum houses more than just paintings: there are superb collections of silver, delftware, doll’s houses, prints, drawings, the mysterious Asiatic art and a recent completely renovated presentation on Dutch history.

Madame Tussauds
An exhibition of wax models of stars and legends. Just like the one in London but with more of a Dutch feel about it. Very real and sometimes quite scary! Leave a Comment Address: Dam SquareOther Contact: Website:

The Flower Market
This is what Holland is famous for - horticulture. This market shows you why. You can find anything here from tulips to palm trees to cannabis seeds! All of the 'stalls' are actually floating on the canal, take a look from a bridge either end. Even if you don't buy anything, it is a wonderful place to go just to look at the colourful and strange plants on offer. If you want some flowers but know they won't last the journey home, why not buy some of the bulbs on offer and plant them when you get back home? Tulips flower year after year - a great souvenier! Watch out for the Christmas shop in a building opposite the market. It is open 365 days a year and sells Christmas decorations. Only in Amsterdam! Leave a Comment Address: Amsterdam

The Red Light District
The infamous RLD of Amsterdam! This is what many tourists come to see. Cannabis and prostitution are legal under license in The Netherlands and this is where the majority of such indulgances take place! It is unlikely that you will be hassled by drug dealers and street-hookers but on the other hand don't bring your grandma / grandchildren here! It is perfectly safe to walk through at night but be aware as with all big cities there are criminals about. As well as the brothels and coffeeshops there are numerous sex shops, sex museums and porn cinemas. That aside, there are also 'normal' cafes, bars, restaurants and other establishments. It looks great at night with all the lights, see my travelogue 'Amsterdam at Night' Leave a Comment Address: East of the centre, Amsterdam.

Van Gogh Museum
The best collection of Van Gogh's work in the world. You have to ask yourself 'Did Van Gogh smoke weed?' when looking at some of his work! Also includes the work of other artists.
