The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Europe

The world famous Rijksmuseum.

Amsterdam is a mesmerizing, characterful and tolerant city latticed with 17th century canals, humming with bicycles and studded with towering old town houses and wonderful museums. This city, Netherlands' capital, walks a delicate line between conservative culture and liberally crazed chaos.

This is a superb strolling or biking city with endless scenic canal views and canal boats to ease the pain when the cobbles have worn your shoes through.

Amsterdam's best tourist attractions are:
- The Jordaan district for real, tourist-free, Dutch living with lovely canals, good restaurants, entertaining little shops and excellent flea market at Looiersgracht.
- Begijnhof, a square of very old and beautiful buildings.
- Oude Kerk, a stunning 14th centurychurch in the red light district.
- Koninklijk Paleis, a royal palace you can wander around.
- The Rijksmuseum or Van Gogh museums for the best of Dutch art.
- The WWII shocker Anne Frank Huis.
- T
he bizarre red light district and coffee shops which can be desperately tacky but provide a unique and fascinating experience in Europe.
