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.

This restaurant has been open for 53 years and it gets its name from Bel Hamel, meaning "enfant terrible", which was the name of the premises 10 years ago. In relation to the size of the place, the decor here is sumptuous and its position on the junction of the canals provides a superb view. The cuisine is Franco-Italian, with a local emphasis and a preference for beef-based specialities: the menus change with the seasons.
The professionalism of the staff ensures an attentive service which nowadays we we only really find in these old establishments where the authentic atmosphere makes you feel like you have gone back 50 years in time!
