Amsterdam

Canals, galleries, small streets and the kind of city that is better with an unhurried plan.

Start with the canals.

Build time around the canal belt rather than treating it as something to tick off between attractions. The wandering is the point.

Choose one or two anchors.

Pick the museum or experience you genuinely care about, then leave the rest of the day open for cafés, neighbourhoods and the evening atmosphere.
