Amsterdam On Your Own

Make the most of this fabulously walkable city and explore at your own pace – although be sure to watch out for bikes! With so much on offer, simply setting out on a stroll will take you past quirky shops, cosy pubs and vibrant markets, along canals lined with narrow houses, down cobbled streets and into leafy avenues. For an in-depth look at the city's artistic heritage, outstanding museums beckon. For Dutch art and history, the Rijksmuseum is a must; fans of modern design should try the Stedelijk; and purists can choose to focus on just one famed artist at the Rembrandt House or Van Gogh museums.
