Here is our list of the best. Amsterdam Canal Ring The city old centre is formed from canal rings, which give you the feeling of space, freedom and peace. Walk through these canal streets or better take a trip by renting a boat yourself. Another way to explore the Venice of the North is to take a ride on a bicycle. Any way you decide for—enjoy this city. The National Maritime Museum The Maritime Museum is an attractive place to visit, especially with children. With many attractions in it, this colourful and enjoyable museum will help you understand the history of the Netherlands—a small nation which was one of the world's greatest sea powers. Amsterdam Brown Café When you enter Amsterdam old cafés called Brown, at first it will seem too much from the past and too crowded, but the atmosphere is unique. Relax and watch—most of people around will be locals. Feel like one of them—the real Amsterdammers. Civic Guards Gallery This gallery is filled with old paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. The exhibited canvas may be not always the masterpieces of art, but these group portraits of Amsterdam citizens and their wives are an exquisite (精致的) document of the Dutch civilisation and culture centuries ago.
