Image Source<\/a><\/p>\nConsidering you land in Amsterdam early in the morning and are done with baggage claim and immigration by 11 am – You have enough time to head to the hotel, relax and have lunch. This day is dedicated primarily to museums, namely – Rijksmuseum<\/a> and Van Gogh Museum. Museum Quarter is also an important site which you will visit during the first half of the first day of your 3 days in Amsterdam. Here is what all these three attractions will be about.<\/p>\n\n- Rijksmuseum<\/strong> is one of Amsterdam\u2019s prime attractions, where you can witness artistry and history dating back to the middle ages. Its collection of painting is surely something that will catch your attention, as they are masterpieces created by world renowned artists; The Night Watch by Rembrandt and The Milk Maid by Vermeer are among the highlights.<\/li>\n
- Van Gogh Museum<\/strong> needs no introduction. It exhibits world\u2019s largest collection of the masterpieces created by Van Gogh. Sunflowers and The Potato are two of the many pieces that travelers across the world come to see.<\/li>\n
- The Museum Quarter<\/strong> is a picnic area where you can relax and enjoy local snacks, after hours of strolling through the museums. You can also indulge in sports and games if you are feeling refreshed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Next, head to Vondelpark<\/strong>, a tranquil garden located in the heart of the city. You can also visit this right after Rijksmuseum, as it is in close proximity, merely a few blocks away. Oftentimes, during summer season, there are a number of open-air concerts organized. If you are a tea-enthusiast, you\u2019d totally love Blauwe Theehuis, which is at the centre of the park.<\/p>\nAs the sun sets, get ready for Canal Cruise<\/strong>, one of the best things to do in Amsterdam<\/a>. This is a cherry on the top, especially if you are with your beloved. As you sail through the canals, you\u2019ll come across number of important landmarks. This surely is an unforgettable and relaxing experience. Since there are various organizers, you must check prices in advance. It would be a delight if you book yourself a luxury dinner cruise.<\/p>\nTime taken in attractions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Rijksmuseum – 3-4 hours<\/li>\n

Image Source<\/a><\/p>\nOn the second day of your 3 perfect days in Amsterdam you will dive deeper into the history and heritage of the city. You will be exploring the markets, neighborhoods and historic landmarks. Have a delicious breakfast and begin your sightseeing tour from Begijnhof Courtyard<\/strong>. It dates back to late fourteenth century, and though there are number of Dutch houses surrounding it, the one that stands out is a house made of woods. This is the oldest house in Amsterdam<\/a> and was built in 1420. (You will have to skip this if you are traveling in large group as that is not allowed, since it is a private property).<\/p>\nNext, visit the colorful Flower Market – Bloemenmarkt<\/strong>. This aromatic escape will refresh your senses, especially if you are coming during summer or spring season. There is no way you can resist buying the flower bulbs, but there is a little restriction regarding the export of some flowers. You can look for health inspection certificate in the package to clear that out.<\/p>\nAfter that head to another prime attraction of the city, Anne Frank\u2019s House<\/strong>. Here Anna and her family hid for 2 years, when Netherlands was ruled by Nazis during WWII.

Go pub hopping here and enjoy the nightlife in Amsterdam<\/a>. If you are not traveling with kids, you must head to the Red Light District – Rossebuurt<\/strong>, before you return to the hotel to doze off. Though this is primarily an area flecked with brothels and sex shop, you\u2019d be pleased with the glimpses of heritage as this is one of the oldest locales of the city.<\/p>\nTime taken in attractions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Begijnhof – \u00bd – 1 hours<\/li>\n
