World's largest collection of Van Gogh paintings and drawings. The sunflower pieces and self-portraits are unforgettable. Book your time slot online - it gets crowded.

Amsterdam

The hidden rooms where Anne Frank hid during WWII. A powerful and sobering experience - book tickets months ahead as they sell out quickly. Photography is prohibited inside.

Vondelpark

Amsterdam

Amsterdam's most famous park with a pond, playground, and café. On sunny days it's basically a picnic party. Free entry and open daily until sunset.

Canal District

UNESCO World Heritage Site of 17th-century merchant houses and iconic white drawbridges. Best explored by foot or bike - the reflections at golden hour are stunning.

Leidseplein

Amsterdam

Popular square with theaters, cinemas, and bars. The area comes alive at night with street performers and outdoor terraces. Great for evening entertainment.

Medieval enclosed courtyard with the oldest surviving wooden house in Amsterdam (around 1425). A hidden oasis in the busy city center - free to enter.

Oude Kerk

Amsterdam

Amsterdam's oldest church dating to 1306, now surrounded by the Red Light District. The wooden ceiling and nave are impressive - climb the tower for canal views.

Magere Brug

Amsterdam

Traditional white drawbridge over 300 years old. At night it's beautifully lit - one of the most photographed spots in Amsterdam. Come early morning to avoid crowds.

"The Rijksmuseum in the afternoon - the Night Watch crowd was thinner around 4pm. Pulled up the museum app to navigate the floor plan. 5G was solid."
