Welcome to the capital of the Netherlands, well-known for its picturesque canals. Amsterdam is a very worthwhile travel destination all year round with a wide range of cultural activities, unique museums and an international flair that means the city is always vibrant, but also always intimate. Among the many activities on offer, you could first discover the delights of the Rijksmuseum and then follow this up with a panoramic view over Amsterdam and its surroundings from the A’DAM LOOKOUT viewing platform over a cup of coffee.
Begin your weekend in Amsterdam with an extensive city tour that takes in the Central Station (IJmeer side), Java-eiland, the Muiderpoort city gate, the Waterlooplein flea market, Stopera, home of the city hall and the Dutch National Opera and Ballet, the Amstel and the Heineken brewery, the museum district, the beautiful south of Amsterdam and the RAI convention centre.
In the morning, visit one of Amsterdam’s newest sights – the A’DAM LOOKOUT, a viewing platform directly on the water opposite the Central Station. From here, enjoy a perfect 360-degree view over the whole of Amsterdam. Enjoy this bird’s-eye perspective and its panoramic photo opportunities. After this view of Amsterdam from above, take time to explore the city of canals at leisure. Take a stroll through the flower market, visit one of the many interesting museums, or indulge in a delicious beer along the canals in one of Amsterdam’s ›brown cafés‹, the name given to these intimate pubs in the Netherlands.
Experience the city on a canal cruise and enjoy views of the charming houseboats, magnificent house facades and the hustle and bustle along the canals. After this, start your journey home.
