Van Gogh Museum: Van Gogh Museum
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The VG museum is a must for art lovers. I've been too many times now to remember, and I've never been diappointed. The best was when the Van Gogh-Gauguin exhibition was on in Spring 2002. I had to wait nearly an hour to get in and it was busy, but it was worth it. A close second was the recent (2006) Rembrandt-Caravaggio exhibition. Of course, I should have probably disclosed my bias that I am a BIG Van Gogh fan. But even if you're not, I still urge you to go as the art on display is worth seeing for its historical value.

    Central Station Area/St Nicolaas Kerk: Centraal Station
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Okay so its a train station, and a particularly busy one with pick-pockets a plenty; but its a beautiful building in its own right. I recommend anyone to take time to admire its architectural beauty (in amongst the rubble of the building site!)

    Canals, Bridges and Houseboats: Magere Brug
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge) is probably the most famous bridge in Amsterdam and one I recommend all VT's see. Its got a concrete 'ramp' on either side and the bridge itself is made from the most beautiful white wood. At night its lit up.

    Old Church / Oude Kerk: Oude Kerk
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Sex and religion can't be seperated - can they? Amsterdam is no exception with the old church slap bang in the middle of De Wallen. But its still a beautiful building in its own right.

    Things To Do: Sint Nikolaaskerk
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • For me, seeing Sint Nikolaaskerk screams out 'your in Amsterdam now'! Its literally the first thing you see when you come out of Centraal Station. Its a nice building in its own right as well.
