All Amsterdam Things To Do

Our Local Experts say:

Museums figure at the top of people's things to do list. This is helped in no small part by the amount and variety of museums that can be found in Amsterdam. Areas such as the Museum Quarter, Rembrandtplein and Jordaan are museum hotspots.

Ogle at the marvels of the Dutch Grand Masters in museums like Rijksmuseum or the Van Gogh Museum. Stride away from the beaten track by visiting the Museum Het Schip or the Tropenmuseum and finish the day at the Het Grachtenhuis. In the city that has more museums per square metre than any other, there's a myriad of choices for the taking.
