Famous for its liberal principles and fashion-forward cultural scene, Amsterdam tops every international tourist's list. Its picturesque canals, graceful old churches, and open-air markets vie for attention with its thriving nightlife scene and infamous Red Light District. Ways to see the city include bike tours through the busy city center and boat tours down the canals, while must-see landmarks are the Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum. The Dutch outdo almost everyone when it comes to modern art and architecture—get a sense of it at De Appel Foundation for Contemporary Art. Don't miss the windmills, the tulips, the Sex Museum, or the Hash, Marihuana & Hemp Museum—all quintessential "only in Amsterdam" sights. Feeling thirsty? Hit the Heineken Experience or the House of Bols Cocktail & Genever Experience… or just sit at a sidewalk café on Rembrandtplein and people-watch alongside the locals.
