5 days in Amsterdam Itinerary

Known as one of the greatest small cities in the world, Amsterdam charms visitors with its cool and cozy atmosphere.

Step off the beaten path and head to The Jordaan and World Heritage Kinderdijk. Do some cultural sightseeing at Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder and Portuguese Synagogue. Explore Amsterdam's surroundings by going to Efteling (in Kaatsheuvel), The Mauritshuis Royal Picture Gallery (in The Hague) and Nationaal Park Duinen van Texel (in Texel). Next up on the itinerary: see the interesting displays at Zaanse Schans, engage your brain at Body Worlds, get to know the fascinating history of Begijnhof, and enjoy the sand and surf at De Hege Gerzen.
