Welcome to Amsterdam, the captivating capital of the Netherlands! After getting settled into your hotel, you have a perfect afternoon ahead to begin exploring. For an immediate dose of culture, you could head straight to Museumplein to visit one of the excellent institutions like the world-renowned Rijksmuseum or the Van Gogh Museum (be sure to have pre-booked tickets for these). For a more relaxed introduction to the city, you could take a short stroll to the lively Dam Square to see the Royal Palace and the National Monument, or wander south into the charming Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes) district for some boutique shopping and a cozy Dutch coffee break.
