What makes it truly unique is its location: right in the middle of the red-light district, creating a striking contrast between the sacred and the worldly.

Dam Square & Damstraat
Dam Square has been the heart of Amsterdam since the 13th century. Originally, a dam was built here on the Amstel River, which is where the city gets its name.

Van Brienenhofje
The Brienenhofje is one of Amsterdam’s best-kept secrets. Hidden behind a modest façade on the Prinsengracht, it’s a peaceful oasis right in the heart of the busy city.

Amsterdam Tulip Museum
Housed in a charming canal house, this museum takes you on a journey from the Himalayas to the blooming Dutch tulip fields.

Anne Frank House
The Anne Frank House is one of the most moving and powerful places in Amsterdam. In this hidden annex behind a canal-side warehouse on the Prinsengracht, the Frank family went into hiding during World War II to escape the Nazis.

Our Lord in the Attic Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder
This remarkable museum is housed in what appears to be a typical 17th-century canal house, but inside you’ll discover a hidden Catholic church on the upper floors.
