The Netherlands: Amsterdam
Areas in the city:
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.

COSTER DIAMONDS
Amsterdam and the diamond have been inextricably linked since the 16th century. Visitors cannot visit the city without the hopes of at least admiring if not buying one. Before a purchase in one of this shop's private alcoves, its is important to study the 4Cs. Cartier sized the Koh-i-Noor here, the copy of the British Royal Crown on which the precious stone is mounted, and the "Southern Star." A simple diamond ring can be purchased beginning at 225€.
