Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ capital, known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of the city’s 17th-century Golden Age. When went to Amsterdam we visited some tourist spots like the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank’s House and we went to see some windmills.

At the back of this landmark was the Rijksmuseum which we went afterwards

Rijksmuseum

     A must-see if you are a fan of the old Dutch masters. Not overcrowded with lots of contemporary art and exhibits thrown in. It’s also a good base to explore other museums and art shops. Close to one of the big Amsterdam red letter displays with lovely gardens that are great for walking and biking

Windmills in Amsterdam

The Netherlands is famous for tulips, cheese, clogs and? Why, windmills, of course!

Amsterdam’s center used to be cluttered with windmills fulfilling various purposes, from preventing the city from flooding to grinding the seeds for the Dutch favorite condiment: mustard. Most of the capital’s windmills have long been dismantled but 8 remain. As it turns out, windmills have been on the move and many of Amsterdam’s mills have been relocated to the suburbs where wind conditions are more favorable than in the built-up inner city. And while only the Molen van Sloten is open to the public, many mills participate in the National Windmill Day, held on the second Saturday in May, when these historical buildings become hubs of activity once again.

Anne Frank House

It’s an amazing museum you must visit in your life. There is a lot of things to see, something sorrow something happy. You can see what made her life all about. The view outside of museum is fantastic and beautiful as well. Highly recommend
