What to do, where to stay, and where to eat in Amsterdam

© Paul Bellaart

At once quaint and edgy, Amsterdam is a place that’s utterly at ease with its multiple identities. Looking for the picturesque views and pealing church bells of a typical European capital? You’re good to go. Want to explore the world’s most vibrant contemporary furniture and product designs, or the most venerable portrait and landscape painters of the 17th century? Great, you’re in the natural habitat of both. Always been curious about the amiably gritty realities of an “open society”? Head for the source—there’s only one Red Light District, after all. And perhaps best of all, this thriving metropolis with world-class museums often seems like an overgrown village, a place where the whoosh of bicycle tires on asphalt still overpowers the hum of car traffic during rush hour.
