Centrum

The Anne Frank House is the hiding place where Anne Frank wrote her famous diary during World War II. Now a museum, it recreates the war and holocaust years. Quotations from the diary, photographs, films and original objects belonging to the people in hiding and those who helped them all serve to illustrate the events which occurred at this location. Anne's original diary is on display in the museum as well.

You won’t see so many celebrities gathered together anywhere else. From film stars to sporting heroes, from the Golden Age to modern times, national and international artists, Madame Tussauds truly has something for everyone.

Magna Plaza means indoor shopping pleasure in a historical building, right behind the Royal Palace. Built by the end of the 19th century, the former post office of Amsterdam is nowadays an exclusive shopping centre with more than 40 brand stores.

The Hermitage Amsterdam is the Dutch branch of the world-famous Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Located on the banks of the Amstel River, the Hermitage Amsterdam is an exhibition space and cultural education centre with a focus on Russian history and culture.

Located in the bustling heart of Amsterdam, the Melkweg, or Milkyway in English, is one of the city's leading entertainment and cultural venues with two halls, a cinema, a theatre, and a cafe with a varied live program, ranging from up-and-coming bands to established names to seated concerts. From the abandoned dairy factory in 1970, this place was then turned into a temporary project, a place for young people to hang out during the summer in 1973. Now it has become one of the most well-known cultural venues. If catching a concert seems a bit out of your price range, or if there is just nobody you would like to see, then visiting one of Melkweg's night clubs might be the thing to do. If you would like to have dinner before your visit, or a drink after the concert? The MILK café is open for lunch and dinner, also for drinks or a nice cup of coffee. Pay attention though, the entrance of MILK is located at Marnixstraat 409.

At Canal Motorboats you can hire a specialised boat for an hour or more. Make your way around the city taking tons of photos and making fantastic memories with friends and family. The company’s marina is just 10 minutes from Central Station and five minutes from the beginning of the Prinsengracht. Each boat can carry up to seven people and naturally larger parties can hire multiple boats.

The Singel Flower Market is one of Amsterdam’s most colourful attractions. The small shops are located inside a row of floating barges – a holdover from the days when flowers arrived in Amsterdam every day from the countryside by boat. At the flower market you’ll find tulips of every colour – either in bouquets or as bulbs to plant at home. If you plan to buy bulbs to take out of the country, be sure they have a "customs cleared" stamp on the packet so you won’t have trouble at the border.

The Koninklijk Paleis (Royal Palace) on Amsterdam’s Dam Square is one of three palaces still in use by the Dutch royal family. When not used for state visits, award ceremonies or other official functions, visitors can explore the magnificent interior and discover the rich history of the building.

Housed in a 17th-century Dutch East India Company former warehouse at the Prinsengracht, this cozy eatery serves more than 75 varieties of pancake based on various dishes from all over the world, from French, Hungarian, Thai, to Norwegian pancake. Try their Hawaiian Pancake with pineapple, or pancakes with pisang Ambon (banana), vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream that would be familiar for Indonesians. Feeling adventurous? Try their take on Indonesian Pancake with chicken, onion, mushrooms, and peanut sauce, served on a bed of bean sprout, prawn crackers, and green salad, similar to gado-gado dish. For little ones, they created special themed pancake, such as Police, Animal, Car, Princess and Fireman pancake. Coming with a large group? Reservations are needed for groups of six or more.

If you are looking for an unusual dinner experience in an unexpected place and are not afraid to discover the creative corners of your personality then knock on Supperclub’s door. 'Freedom' is the keyword here. It’s a mix of 5-course dinner in bed, music with resident DJ, 4 performances, and lighting art that will build your imagination. A reminder: you need to wear a pair of decent-looking socks because the staff will ask you to take off your shoes. Your experience will begin with the surprise box at your table! Since the dinner package is full of surprises, don't hesitate to tell the staff if you have a dietary restriction when making your reservation. The Supperclub host will also be there if you want to order cocktails to complete your experience. 

Supperclub

Since its opening in 1990, Bourbon Street Blues Club is hard to miss when strolling down Leidsekruisstraat–you can see the Blues Brothers dancing on the roof. The program here ranges from rock to soul, even reggae, with live music every night of the week. Over the years, this amazing venue has hosted local and international artists, including some big names, such as Toto and B.B. King. Memorabilia and old photographs, a Louisiana street lamp, a disco ball sharing ceiling space with some camp chandeliers are part of this bar that looks like a barn. The lively and fun vibe will keep you entertained while enjoying the beer, spirits, or wine. 

Bourbon Street

Opened in 1990, Cafe de Jaren is one of the largest cafes in Amsterdam. It features a spacious cafe with high-ceiling on the ground floor, an international reading-table, a pleasant restaurant with a salad bar on the first floor, as well as a superb canal-view terrace. The first-floor balcony is non-smoking and offers views across the River Amstel. Reserve in advance if you want to secure a seat at the balcony. The room upstairs becomes a restaurant after 17:30, serving guests until 22:30. The cafe also offers jetty for guests who want to cross the river. Overwhelmed with the extensive international menu for the dinner? Simply order their tomato soup and broodjes, the town's favorite. 

Cafe de Jaren

Moeders, or 'Mothers' in English, got its name from hundreds of framed and unframed pictures of moms on the walls. Evoking warm and nostalgic nuance, the decoration is there for a reason. When you bring your mother to dine with you, the staff will give you a special treat and ask the picture of your mother as a new addition on the wall. Back then, the owner asked everyone to bring a plate, a glass, and cutlery from home, and it also becomes part of wall decoration. The food varies from comfort food such as omelette, pancake, to traditional Dutch specialties such as beef stew, Flemish stew, and stamppot or potato mashed with vegetables. For sharing menu, order Dutch Rijsttafel which serves for two.
