What to see in Amsterdam

1. Rijksmuseum
   The Rijksmuseum tells the story of the Netherlands through its paintings, objects and history, from the Middle Ages through the Golden Age and beyond.
2. Van Gogh Museum
   The museum holds the largest collection of Van Gogh's work anywhere, and its layout follows the course of his life.
3. Anne Frank House
   This is where Anne Frank and seven others hid during the war, and standing in the same rooms gives her diary its full weight.
4. Vondelpark
   Vondelpark is Amsterdam's big green living room, just steps from Leidseplein and Museumplein.
5. Jordaan
   The Jordaan is Amsterdam's old working-class district, now one of its most pleasant corners to wander.
6. Albert Cuyp Markt
   Running along Albert Cuypstraat in the heart of De Pijp, this street market brings together produce, cheese, fish and clothing stalls.
7. Moeders
   Moeders means "mothers" in Dutch.
8. Foodhallen
   Set in a former tram depot in Oud-West, this covered food hall gathers Dutch and international stalls under one industrial roof.
