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.

RESTAURANT DORRIUS

Opened in 1890 as part of the Crowne Plaza, the Dorrius is a real institution in Amsterdam. Customers arrive dressed stylishly for a business lunch or a celebratory dinner. The setting is very refined: paneling and leather cover the walls and guests walk upon black and white marble floors. Nevertheless, this restaurant remains affordable despite its renown: a multi-course menu is available for just 29€.
