Amsterdam is famous for its canals, elegant homes, coffee shops and Red-Light District, but there is much more to this egalitarian city heritage, intricate canal network and narrow homes with gabled façades, Golden Age legacies of the 17th century city. The Museum District houses the Van Gogh Collection, Rembrandt and Vermeer's works in the Rijksmuseum, and Stedelijk's Modern Art.
Amsterdam is one of the world's largest tiny towns. It is one of the most romantic and beautiful towns in Europe, from Amsterdam canals to world-famous Amsterdam museums and historical Amsterdam sights. Canal cruises are a common way of seeing the city from the perspective of its canals.
