The Netherlands: Amsterdam


In a nutshell...

Among the diverse cultural attractions in Amsterdam, visits to Anne Frank's house and the Van Gogh museum give a glimpse of the historical and artistic riches of the city. The capital is home to no fewer than 50 museums from the truly bizarre to the most classic collections of Dutch national heritage.


Vondel Park and the canals make up the backdrop of the city, ideal for family picnics and romantic strolls, with out for getting an essential visit to the flower market, the most famous in the world, near Muntplein. On bike or by foot, a stop at one of the city's numerous squares is a great way to get a feeling for the vibrancy of daily life in Amsterdam: in Rembrandtplein or Leidseplein, the most famous squares, you will find the well-known "brown café's".
To end the visit with a panoramic view of the city, make your way the Westerkerk and its bell tower, the tallest in Amsterdam, located in the heart of Jordaan, one of the fashionable quarters.

CAFFE TOSCANINI

CAFFE TOSCANINI


With unfinished floors and cream walls accented by stylish candleabras and black and white photos, this Italian restaurant offers clients a real "Southern experience," especially during the day when a large skylight baths the space in sunshine. Artists and other chic bohemians from the Jordaan district come here regularly to try antipasti before digging into a nice fish ravioli of daily risotto. A fixed price menu for 40€ includes 6 different courses...tempted?
