Gracht in Amsterdam

Visit Amsterdam, the gateway to the Netherlands, by train

Looking for canals, tulips, windmills and row houses? The city of Amsterdam is all that, but there is so much more!

Enjoy the many sights of this historical city

Amsterdam is a city brimming with history. During the 17th century the country developed into a maritime power, and Amsterdam transformed from a small port into an important commercial centre. The quaint canals lined with terraced houses in all shapes and sizes date back to this Dutch Golden Age. A boat tour is the ideal way to take in the sights and to get better acquainted with the city. However, the Dutch capital has much more to offer. Don't miss the Rijksmuseum, housing Rembrandt's famous Night Watch, or visit the nearby Van Gogh Museum. End a day with a stroll through the Vondelpark, followed by a night out in one of the city's many restaurants and theatres.
