Itinerary Overview
The tour begins at Dam Square, the historical heart of Amsterdam. The Royal Palace, the Nieuwe Kerk, and the National War Memorial all converge on this iconic open space, originally built as a 17th-century town hall.
Drive through the Museum Quarter, passing the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum. The Rijksmuseum chronicles Dutch history from the Middle Ages through the 20th century and holds one of the world's great collections of Golden Age paintings.
Stop at Albert Cuyp Market, where more than 300 stalls line both sides of the street in the vibrant De Pijp district. The market has been a fixture of local daily life since 1904.
Capture the city's most recognizable image at the Amstel windmill, then follow the canal network that defines Amsterdam's UNESCO-listed cityscape. Most of the historic canal houses date from the Dutch Golden Age.
Cross the Magere Brug, a slender drawbridge with a centuries-old legend, before continuing to the Red Light District and the striking NEMO Science Museum, whose copper-green hull rises above the Eastern Docklands.
