Itinerary
The heart of Amsterdam, Dam Square has been a site of political and cultural significance for centuries.
Amsterdam's famous canal ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most picturesque parts of the city. It's a testament to the city's innovative urban planning and engineering, as well as its rich cultural heritage.
This historic courtyard dates back to the 14th century and is one of the oldest and best-preserved parts of Amsterdam. It was originally home to a community of Beguines, religious women who lived in a semi-monastic community.
Originally built as a town hall in the 17th century, the Royal Palace is now one of three palaces used by the Dutch royal family. It's an impressive example of Dutch classicism and is open to the public for tours.

About Amsterdam
Amsterdam rings its golden-age centre with tree-lined canals, gabled houses and bridges, packing great art and easy cycling into a compact city.
The canal ring, dug in the seventeenth century, curves around the old centre in concentric arcs: Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, lined with tall merchants' houses. The Jordaan, just west, is a maze of small canals, courtyards, brown cafés and independent shops, and the Anne Frank House stands on the Prinsengracht at its edge.
Top-ranked sights in Amsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
