Although many people just go to Amsterdam for the hash in the Coffee shops and the red light district hookers, there is plenty to see and do that could never be considered a vice. The Rijksmuseum has a truly exceptional collection of Dutch masterpieces including Rembrandt's The Nightwatch, and Anatomy lesson. The museum is ranked alongside the Uffizi in Florence, and the Louvre in Paris as an art gallery.
Fans of one eared lunatic painter Vincent Van Gogh will love the chance to wander through the collection of almost 700 of his works in the gallery that bears his name.
The old Heineken Brewery in the centre of the city is a lovely building that now serves as a museum, and a great bar in which to sip a few litres of an evening.
