Amsterdam Essenziali

Il cuore di Amsterdam è definito dal suo anello di canali del XVII secolo e da istituzioni culturali di livello mondiale. Questa collezione presenta il polo di Museumplein, sede dell'ampia collezione del Van Gogh Museum e dei design moderni dello Stedelijk. La profondità storica si trova alla Casa di Anne Frank e alla Sinagoga Portoghese del XVII secolo. Tra i punti di riferimento iconici figurano il mulino De Gooyer, il mulino in legno più alto del paese, e la Westerkerk in stile rinascimentale. Oltre il centro, la Fortezza di Muiden del XIII secolo offre storia medievale, mentre l'A'dam Lookout offre viste a 360 gradi sullo skyline in evoluzione della città.
