Activities in last minute deals to Amsterdam

1. Enjoy the artistic Jordaan area

This area of Amsterdam was once the working class district; however, today visitors can enjoy exploring winding streets and quaint artistic shops. The area is full of courtyard cafes, hidden gardens, bars, antique shops and independent galleries for you to enjoy.

2. Visit the Museumplein

Situated in the historic Oud-Zuid district, the area known as Museumplein is home to two museums - the Museum of Modern Art and the Van Gogh Museum. The square between these two buildings is often home to outdoor exhibitions and markets. In the winter, the central square is converted into an ice rink.

3. The canal cruise

These imposing buildings were once part of the city's gasworks. Now, this part of the city is vibrant and full of life with an arthouse cinema, microbrewery, coffee shops and bars. Many food-related events are held here throughout the year.

5. Visit the Anne Frank House

No trip to Amsterdam is complete without a visit to the Anne Frank House and Museum. The museum itself provides information about Anne Frank and how she survived.

Very nice modern rooms. the whole house is very modern. The room was very clean, there was nothing to complain about. The staff were mostly young people who were very nice, polite. We had a room on the 11th floor, the view was good. With the nearby (a few minutes walk) train was very fast in the middle of Amsterdam. Location optimal for us.
