Welcome to Amsterdam, a capital like no other

Amsterdam is a liberal city with some of the most famous museums in the world. The Old Centre, which dates back to the Middle Ages, looks like an Impressionist picture. There are so many parties and bars along the water in this city built around the UNESCO-listed Canal Ring that you won’t be bored.
