Amsterdam Featured Hotels

Amsterdam is built on a semicircular network of 165 canals, earning its UNESCO-listed canal ring a place alongside Venice as one of Europe's most distinctive cityscapes. The compact city centre - just 4 km across - packs in Golden Age merchant houses, world-class museums (the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Anne Frank House), a thriving cafe culture, and one of Europe's most progressive and tolerant urban atmospheres. More bikes than people fill the streets, and every neighbourhood has its own character, from the bohemian Jordaan to the multicultural De Pijp.
