Amsterdam Travel Guide

With 62 miles of canals, the best introduction to this delightfully compact, centuries-old city is by boat. Take one of the glass-roofed cruisers to glide past the row upon row of ornate mansions that line Amsterdam's cobweb of criss-crossing canals. As the homeland of Rembrandt and Van Gogh, Dutch art galleries house one of the most impressive fine art collections in the world. In the evening, spend your euros leisurely in the city's many restaurants, cafés and bars.
