City guide

Amsterdam

The ring of canals dug in the 17th century still sets the shape of the city, and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010. Museums run from the Dutch Golden Age collection of the Rijksmuseum to the Anne Frank House, all within walking distance; the bicycle here is not a tourist option but the city's primary way of getting around.
