The capital city of the Netherlands offers something for every <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/travel\/\">traveller<\/a>, from historic monuments and cultural landmarks to scenic sights and an electrifying after-dark scene.

The crowds agree, so book your slot in advance and expect to see hordes of tourists marvelling at the same paintings and historical artefacts. Factor in a couple of hours for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rijksmuseum.nl\/en\" rel=\"nofollow\">Rijksmuseum<\/a> visit to admire more than 8,000 works, including pieces by Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Tip: art buffs can take a day to go museum-hopping and visit multiple Amsterdam attractions like the Van Gogh Museum and Moco Museum &#8211; they\u2019re all located at Museumplein.<\/p>\n<h3>2.

That means you can\u2019t holiday here without making a date with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heinekenexperience.com\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Heineken Experience<\/a>. This immersive journey takes you behind the scenes in the brand\u2019s former brewery to discover everything you ever wanted to know about the famous beer. Tip: arrive early to avoid the mid-day crowds at this popular attraction.<\/p>\n<p>Our 1.5-hour tour started with multimedia exhibits showcasing Heineken\u2019s history across over 150 years, including its old school bottle designs. Next, we gleaned knowledge about how the beer is made. Four simple ingredients &#8211; pure malted barley, hops, water and A-yeast &#8211; come together to create that familiar flavour you know and love. Oh, and the historical brew room is a magnificent sight to behold!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_294572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-294572\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-294572 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-heineken-experience-brew-room-and-bar-900x643.png\" alt=\"best amsterdam attractions | heineken experience brew room and bar\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-heineken-experience-brew-room-and-bar-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-heineken-experience-brew-room-and-bar-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-heineken-experience-brew-room-and-bar.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-294572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Check out the former brew room and the tasting bar.

But our favourite parts were the customisable bottle station, the groovy karaoke bicycles, and the tasting bar at the end, where you can join the draught challenge to pour your own mug of beer from the tap (and guzzle it down afterwards). After stopping by the merch store, make your way up to the breezy rooftop terrace for slick views and refreshing beers.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Anne Frank House<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_294561\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-294561\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-294561 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/amsterdam-attractions-things-to-do-anne-frank-house-900x643.png\" alt=\"amsterdam attractions things to do | anne frank house\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/amsterdam-attractions-things-to-do-anne-frank-house-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/amsterdam-attractions-things-to-do-anne-frank-house-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/amsterdam-attractions-things-to-do-anne-frank-house.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-294561\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Allard Bovenberg for Anne Frank Stichting, Amsterdam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.annefrank.org\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Anne Frank House<\/a> experience is a poignant one. It\u2019s home to the Secret Annex where the Frank family hid from the Nazis, so visitors can see what it was like to live there during WWII. The museum display also includes some of the family\u2019s personal items, as well as Anne\u2019s original diary. P.S. as the space is small, tickets are limited and only sold online for timed slots. They get snapped up quickly, but if you\u2019re lucky, you might snag last-minute ones.<\/p>\n<h3>4.

Head to the centrally-located Dam Square, where you\u2019ll find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paleisamsterdam.nl\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Royal Palace<\/a>. King Willem-Alexander and his family don\u2019t officially live there, but it\u2019s used for royal occasions like gala dinners, award ceremonies and state visits. Originally built as Amsterdam\u2019s city hall and transformed into a palace in the 1800s, the building is open to the public to discover its rich history.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Van Gogh Museum<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_294565\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-294565\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-294565 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-things-to-do-van-gogh-museum-900x643.png\" alt=\"best amsterdam attractions things to do | van gogh museum\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-things-to-do-van-gogh-museum-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-things-to-do-van-gogh-museum-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-things-to-do-van-gogh-museum.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-294565\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Benita Lee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The name speaks for itself, and it\u2019s arguably one of the most popular attractions in Amsterdam. Home to the largest collection of Vincent van Gogh\u2019s works, the exhibitions feature more than 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and 700 letters. You\u2019ll also find art by his contemporaries, including Monet Pissarro and Gauguin, alongside French and Japanese prints. After learning about his life from 1853 to 1890, you can pick up jewellery, books, and souvenirs inspired by him at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vangoghmuseum.nl\/en\" rel=\"nofollow\">Van Gogh Museum<\/a>&#8216;s store. As usual, tickets sell out quickly, but we were able to secure entry online on the day itself, so don\u2019t give up hope!<\/p>\n<h3>6.

The 17th-century canal ring area is a unique Unesco World Heritage site, and there are plenty of options to sail through. See the sights on a 75-minute city canal cruise, hop on in the evening for a view of the glittering cityscape, or nibble on wine and cheese during your tour. We enjoyed a breezy 45-minute trip on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heinekenexperience.com\/en\/discover-our-tours\/rock-the-city\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Heineken boat<\/a>, where we discovered the city\u2019s secrets with a refreshing beer in hand.<\/p>\n<h3>7.

They\u2019ll tell you fascinating stories about the city\u2019s history and culture, throwing in tidbits you won\u2019t find on Google (or TikTok). From food trails to haunted journeys, Amsterdam has plenty of free walking tour operators.<\/p>\n<p>We picked <a href=\"https:\/\/freedamtours.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">FreeDam Tours<\/a> and spent a sunny afternoon sightseeing and munching on stroopwafels with our cheery guide, Gianni. Across 2.5 hours, he gave us captivating insights into the Dutch way of life and their bike culture, the history of the Red Light District, the hidden Our Lord in the Attic Museum, and quaint canal houses. It\u2019s a fantastic introduction to the city for newcomers, we say. Just don\u2019t forget to leave a tip!<\/p>\n<h3>8.

But the crown jewel of this building is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adamlookout.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">A\u2019Dam Lookout<\/a>.

Other popular places include Chun Cafe and The Pancake Bakery (\u2018cos you can\u2019t make a trip to Amsterdam without trying some pancakes!).

First, we explored the adorable Dutch village of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dezaanseschans.nl\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Zaanse Schans<\/a>, which is known for its picturesque wooden houses, windmills, museums, and handicraft shops. P.S. it\u2019s extremely touristy &#8211; there are busloads of visitors traipsing across the area &#8211; but it still makes for a fun stop to take snapshots and fuel up on cookies and chocolate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_294567\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-294567\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-294567 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-keukenhof-gardens-900x643.png\" alt=\"best amsterdam attractions | keukenhof gardens\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-keukenhof-gardens-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-keukenhof-gardens-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/best-amsterdam-attractions-keukenhof-gardens.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-294567\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Benita Lee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The highlight of our day? <a href=\"https:\/\/keukenhof.nl\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Keukenhof<\/a>.

No doubt it\u2019s completely packed with tourists, but it truly lives up to its name as the most beautiful spring garden in the world. The sprawling lush grounds will take you a couple of hours to stroll through, so take your time to be enamoured by the colourful tulips and fresh blooms.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Amsterdam guide: Best hotels to stay in<\/h2>\n<h3>14.
