Shopping
There are plenty of souvenirs to bring home from Amsterdam; a pair of clogs; some pretty Delftware; a bottle of Jenever or, if you're lucky, a diamond from the diamond factory. At the flower market or at the Keukenhof, you can order bulbs to be shipped home.
In the city centre, Amsterdam's top department store can be found on Dam Square, while nearby is Damrak, once a busy canal, now a busy shopping street. For something more interesting, you'll find the small boutiques and antique shops amid the canals of the Jordaan district are a rich hunting ground.
Food & Drink
The highlights of Dutch cuisine include herrings, served every which way (raw, cooked and pickled), smoked eel and chips with mayonnaise. Gouda and Edam are the best known cheeses but there are plenty of others to sample.
Where to Stay
Whatever you're looking for, we have hotels in neighbourhoods to match your mood. The busiest are those around Centraal Station and Dam Square.
