6Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is compact, visually distinctive and easy to explore, making it a comfortable introduction to Europe.
The city’s famous canals, narrow houses and bridges create a setting that feels almost cinematic. Visitors can explore the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House, Jordaan and historic canal belt while travelling mostly on foot, bicycle or public transport.
Amsterdam also works beautifully as part of a wider European itinerary. High-speed and international rail connections make it possible to continue toward Belgium, France and Germany.
