In Amsterdam, every explorer finds just what he’s looking for. Are you a cultural sleuth? Then hop from one museum to the other: the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Anne Frank House, the Hermitage Amsterdam … . Or how about exploring the neighbourhoods? The cosy Jordaan, the popular city centre and the stately Oud-Zuid are waiting for you. Take a boating trip along the canals, explore the city by bicycle and visit a pleasant terrace café along the way. After all that strolling around your feet deserve a good rest. And where better to relax than in the Vondelpark or Oosterpark? Sit yourself down on a bench or settle down in the grass with your picnic basket. Afterwards you will be more than ready to hit the town! Book my train ticket to Amsterdam >

Nestling on the banks of the River Amstel in the very heart of the Dutch capital, The Hermitage Amsterdam is an offshoot of the famous Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. Based in the old Amstelhof building since June 2009, the cultural institution is able to borrow from the very rich collection of its Russian counterpart and organises major exhibitions which rival the most prestigious museums in Europe.
Address: Nieuwe Herengracht 14, Amsterdam

Among the many lanes, islets, lawns, trees and secret nooks, known only to lovers, the Vondelpark is a mecca for bohemian and romantic souls. Only natural, since the Dutch poet Joost van den Vondel's statue proudly stands in the park lending his name to the Vondelpark. Formerly a riding school, Vondelpark still retains the wonderful Dutch Royal Riding School. The rose garden rich in 70 different species (Centrum de Roos), the Film Museum and outdoor theatre are just some of the added attractions at Vondelpark.

Artis Zoo was built in 1838. Its wooded alleys and listed buildings house many species, and it now features a new attraction: the butterfly house. It opened in October 2006 and the 1,000m² pavilion is open to the public everyday. 20 to 30 different species - varying with the seasons - fly around visitors and settle on flowers. Not every species is represented, as 2,000 have been counted in the Netherlands alone.
Address: Plantage Kerklaan 38-40, Amsterdam

Here you can taste the best pancakes in Amsterdam, served in every possible way! Located on the first floor, the tiny room, which can accommodate a maximum of 10 people, is well worth climbing up the city's steepest staircase. The decor at Upstairs is playful: dozens of teapots hang from the ceiling whilst photos of the royal family adorn the walls. You must try: the bacon, cheese and ginger pancake.
Address: Grimburgwal 2, Amsterdam
This café is a real treat for the eyes as well as the taste buds. Simon de Jong, both patissier and genius, proves his exuberant imagination in the preparation of his cakes. The multi-coloured decor is ultra kitsch for this tea room as demonstrated by the flamingos. Admire the colourful cakes from close up and perhaps you'll find some motifs that you wouldn't expect to see on cakes: girls with bare breasts or even an animal orgy.
Address: Ferdinand Bolstraat 10, Amsterdam
