Amsterdam is known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of the city’s 17th-century Golden Age. Cycling is key to the city’s character with 400km of cycle paths. Art lovers head to the Museum District to indulge in works by Rembrandt at the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and modern art at the Stedelijk.
