Rich in culture, Amsterdam is a fun, friendly and stylish city characterised by its waterways and traditional architecture. See it through the eyes of the world's most famous artist, Van Gogh, at the dedicated museum, where luscious swirls of paint marked a genius that was ahead of his time. Be sure to book and arrive early and avoid the lengthy queues.
The Anne Frank Museum is an incredible record of human life and a memorial to one of the most beloved writers of last century. It is also superbly curated. For less sober entertainment, Amsterdam's Sex Museum (adults only) is full of laughs and surprises and includes a collection of Victorian erotica. The Houseboat Museum is a tiny but superb floating homage to canal living through the ages.
