Amsterdam City Breaks
Amsterdam View breaks >>To some it's the canals, carillons ringing out from church steeples and the variety of Dutch gable that defines Amsterdam. To others it's the eccentricity and quirky lifestyle.
Anne Franks House
More than half a million visitors annually make their way through this preserved house, to the revolving bookcase that conceals the entrance into the small gloomy rooms so vividly described in Anne Franks diary.
Westerkerk Church
The 17th century Royal Palace, is the most beautiful of the four churches built to the north, south, east and west of the city's core. The West Church, the church most visited by tourists in the city, has the largest nave of any Dutch Protestant church
Royal Palace
The town hall was transformed into a royal palace in 1808 after Napoleon made his brother Louis King of Holland. Today it serves as an occasional residence for Queen Beatrix. Don't be put off by the sober exterior and step inside!
Rijksmuseum
