This city, full of colorful homes, canals and bridges, is one of Europe's most picturesque capitals. Must-sees on any visitor's itinerary include the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum and the world's only floating flower market. Rent a bike and join thousands of locals navigating Amsterdam's labyrinthine streets, or just take in the sights on foot. For an unusual and memorable alternative to hotels, consider staying in a houseboat.

Begijnhof

Tucked away just off Spui, this delightful collection of houses arranged around an open court is well worth searching out.

Definitely worth a quick visit, such a nice and peaceful place with two churches and the oldest house in Amsterdam, from the 1400s (it is the black house right in front of the statue of the Begijn lady). I went as part of Rick Steves free "Amsterdam City Walk" audio guide. Do a search online and download it for free!

The "Chinatown" area of Amsterdam. There's certainly a large concentration of Chinese restaurants in the are, a Chinese temple and Chinese supermarket. Although the area is quite trendy and cosmopolitan and comprises restaurants, cafes and bars to suit all tastes.
