On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 4.The canals by boat, at dusk — Amsterdam was designed to be seen from the water — take the last daylight cruise so the bridges light up mid-trip. Small open boat over glass-roofed barge, every time.
- 11.The Begijnhof — Step through an unmarked door off the busiest shopping street into a silent medieval courtyard — lawn, chapel, and the city's oldest wooden house. Whisper; people live here.
- 15.Bloemenmarkt & tulip bulbs — The floating flower market on the Singel — half tourist trap, half genuine institution. Skip the fridge magnets, buy certified bulbs to fly home legally, and get your tulip photo against the houseboats.
