Big Sights

1. Van Gogh Museum
   With the world’s most comprehensive collection of the artist’s work, this museum is simply unmissable.
2. Red Light District
   Although recently spruced up, Amsterdam’s red light district is still the real thing – and a big attraction in its own right.
3. Vondelpark
   The leafy Vondelpark, with its ponds, footpaths and parrots, is the city centre’s most attractive park.
4. Anne Frank Huis
   The secret annexe where the diarist hid with her family during the Nazi occupation is Amsterdam’s most moving tourist attraction.
5. Royal Palace
   The supreme architectural example of the Dutch empire at the height of its powers.
