City Breaks in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Thousands of tourists flock to enjoy city breaks in Amsterdam each year and despite its small size the Dutch capital has a huge number of attractions to inspire and entertain visitors. Dam Square, located at the very heart of the city is a great place to start exploring. As well as being home to Koninklijk Palace where the Dutch royal family once lived, the square is also the location of the impressive National Memorial statue. A short walk from here is the Red Light district which may not be to everyone's taste but is an important part of the Amsterdam city break experience. As well as plenty of adult entertainment this part of the city, which has existed since the 14th century, is also one of architectural beauty.

Those on city breaks in Amsterdam should also take time out to visit its three major museums, the Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum and the Van Gogh Museum. Beer enthusiasts are also urged to squeeze in a trip to the Heineken Brewery where you can sample the delights of one of Holland's finest exports. The compact urban hub can be explored in a short space of time by foot or bike and with its distinctive 17th century canal network and beautiful buildings it cannot fail to charm.
