Alternatively, start with a canal boat tour or rent canal bikes and explore the canal paths. NEMO, Holland’s biggest science centre, brings science to life in a fun and entertaining way. Vondelpark is a great place for walking, playing and eating ice creams! Madame Tussauds and Amsterdam Dungeon are always popular, or visit ‘Our Lord in the Attic’ – a church hidden in an attic!

For friends

Find out what it’s like to be a bottle of beer at the Heineken Experience in the old Heineken brewery. No short breaks to Amersterdam are complete without a wander around the infamous red-light district. Enjoy a drink and a meal in the Leidsplein area while watching the buskers and street performers. Head for Haarlemmerstraat and its continuation, Haarlemmerdijk, for wonderful unique and quirky shops. If bars are the main reason behind your city break to Amsterdam, then why not visit some of the the most popular bars in Amsterdam, making sure you carry on the party from the night before.
