Highlights
Royal Coster Diamonds is the world's oldest still-operating diamond polishing factory (founded 1840), steps from the Rijksmuseum. Guests see real craftsmen polishing real diamonds using techniques refined over 185 years. The experience includes a private diamond presentation, a look at the Cullinan replica (largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found), and an introduction to the Royal 201 cut, the most brilliant diamond in the world, exclusive to Royal Coster. The 4 C's are explained in person, with real stones, by guides in 15+ languages. Royal Coster polishers recut the Koh-i-Noor for the British Crown Jewels in 1852. For travelers who want real depth, this is Amsterdam's diamond experience.

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.
