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.

HESTER VAN EEGHEN
In the 9 Streets district, Hester van Eeghen has two boutiques each one at a different end of Hartenstraat. The first shop sells shoes, especially a large choice of original creations by designer whose name is on the store. A theme in her design is the manipulation of geometric shapes and different colors. The second shop uses the style to present elegant purses. Every product is handmade and consequently the prices are a little high, but nothing is stopping you from purchasing a more affordable accessory such as a coin purse...
