What to see on an Amsterdam City Break
Amsterdam is home to a number of world famous museums, which make it perfect if you are looking for a cultural short break. Start your Amsterdam city break with a visit to the Vincent Van Gogh museum and browse more than 200 paintings and 500 drawings by Van Gogh and his contemporaries. No city break to Amsterdam would be complete without a trip to Anne Frank’s House. Relive the moving story of Anne Frank and her family who hid in a secret annex of a Christian family’s house during World War Two. Continue your Amsterdam city break with a trip to the Stedelijk Museum, which has by far the best collection of modern art in the country. The Rijksmuseum is Amsterdam's largest and most popular museum and another “must see” on your city break to Amsterdam. The central attraction is the collection of 17th-century Dutch Masters, featuring canvases from some of the finest artists in history, including Rembrandt and Vermeer. And if you feel like you have had enough of museums and art on your Amsterdam city break, then there is of course Amsterdam's infamous Red Light District. Definitely an eye-opener and not for the faint hearted, this part of Amsterdam can certainly add a touch of spice to your Amsterdam city break.
