Rijksmuseum
  Rijksmuseum is the country's premier art museum and an easy place to overdose on old masters. The museum contains Amsterdam's greatest art and historical collections . As well as works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hals and Steen, there are dollhouses, delftware, Asiatic art, changing displays of prints and drawings and special travelling exhibitions. The museum is far too big to absorb in one visit- it pays to be selective and you can return as often as you like for free if you invest a Museumjaarkaart, or Museum Card.

  Vincent Van Gogh Museum
  The museum nearby houses the collection of some 200 paints and 600 drawings by Van Gogh. It begins with his early studies of pleasant life painted in 1884-1885 and ends with the tortured paintings that he produced in 1889-1890, prior to his suicide. The extraordinarily vivid paintings from his time in Arles are the highlight.

  Anne Frankhuis
  One of the last entries in Anne Frank's world famous diary reads : " I want to live on after my death". That wish , at least has been achieved and the Anne Frank House, in west of the centre, now attracts more than half a million visitors a year. This was the place that the Jewish Frank family went into hiding to try to escape deportation during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Anne's diary was found among the litter in the annexe and has since been translated into 55 languages. It's essential to go early in the day to avoid long queues and crowded room.
