Famous Sights of Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a great destination for a city break, with easy access by plane, train and ferry. It is renowned for its cultural heritage, including great works of art and historic architecture. If you're planning a trip to the city, here are the top five sights.

Canal Ring

This network of canals was constructed in the 17th century and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are over 100km of canals in the city, which has earned it the title 'Venice of the North'. It was originally developed to attract wealthy homeowners and is still home to some exclusive neighbourhoods. The canals surround the old city centre and it's a beautiful area to walk around or try one of the many tourist boat trips. However you choose to explore this part of Amsterdam, you'll be surprised at the peacefulness and tranquillity.

Anne Frank's House

Probably the most famous historic resident of Amsterdam, Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis in this house during World War 2. Taking a look inside the property allows you to truly experience how small the area was in which they lived with another family for over two years. The museum also features an exhibition highlighting the struggles of Jewish people in the country during the war.
