Or take a magical dinner cruise to see the city by night if you are seeking some romance during your trip. Cafe culture is very popular here and there are hundreds of street cafes and covered terraces where you can watch the world go by over a coffee or a glass of wine. There's also plenty to keep shoppers happy, with an assortment of exciting markets specialising in everything from art to antiques. The famous Bloemenmarkt, boasts the title of the only floating flower market in the world and is well worth a visit.
Most places are within walking distance too, so there's no excuse not to try out some of the delicious locally brewed beer at a traditional 'bruine kroeg', or head to the Nieuwezjids Voorburgwa district where you will find fashionable bars. When the sun goes down, you'll find hundreds of bars and clubs where you can party into the early hours.
Amsterdam holidays are ideal for food lovers, with hundreds of restaurants and cafes serving up international and gourmet cuisine as well as the quirky snacks the city has become famous for – try frites with mayonnaise, or the moreishly sweet stroopwafels.
