Museums

Amsterdam is packed with amazing museums; you could probably spend your entire vacation simply visiting museums and still not cover all the things to see. Some of the best-known museums are the Vincent Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House. The Van Gogh Museum has the world’s largest collection of Van Gogh paintings housed in a classy modern building. At the Anne Frank House you can view the apartment Anne Frank and her family lived in as well as information and artifacts from the Holocaust. It’s a more somber place to visit, but one of historical significance for the city.

Canals and Neighborhoods

Like Venice, Amsterdam has an iconic network of canals instead of city streets in some places. It’s a pleasant afternoon adventure to rent a taxi boat to explore the canals and see the various houses and shops next to the water. Photographers in Amsterdam will particularly enjoy the neighborhood known as The Jordaan known for its picturesque streets, garden areas, and combination of charming residential areas and small commercial centers. Some of the most iconic photo locations of Amsterdam can be found in The Jordaan, as well as a number of museums and open-air markets during the warmer time of the year.
