Here are ten must-see places for tourists in this historic city:
Van Gogh Museum
The Van Gogh Museum is the world's largest collection of the works of Vincent van Gogh. It is located in Amsterdam's Museumplein and opened in 1973, after it had been given to the city by his brother Theo. The museum was renovated in 2013 and reopened with a new entrance and more space for exhibitions. It is open daily from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm except Sundays (10:00 am - 5:00 pm).
Rijksmuseum and the Dutch Masters
The Rijksmuseum is a national museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It houses one of the largest collections of Dutch masters and works from all periods. The museum is free of charge, open daily from 10 am to 6 pm and closed on Mondays except for special exhibitions.
The building was designed by Hendrikscouwenbergen architect Jacob Maris in 1885, who also designed the Royal Palace at Huis ten Bosch (now known as Merwedeplein) and another museum building at Torentjesweg 4th with other buildings around there which are not open anymore today due to their condition after being damaged during WWII (such as Hotel de Porcelaere).
Anne Frank House Museum
If you're looking for a place to study, then the Anne Frank House Museum is an ideal place. The museum is located in the house where the Frank family hid from the Nazis during World War II. You can spend hours here exploring all of her belongings and learning about her life as a Jewish teenager who died at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945 at age 15.[1]
The museum has free guided tours daily during business hours (9:00 am to 6:00 pm), but reservations are required.[2]
Vondelpark

Rembrandt House
If you're looking for a museum with a unique history and architecture, Rembrandt House is the perfect place to visit. Located in the Jodenbreestraat in Amsterdam, this museum features works by Rembrandt (1606–1669).
The house was built around 1641 by Hendrickje Stoffels, who moved there from her previous home on Binnenhof Square. It was later inherited by her son Jan Baptist van Helmont, who married Geertruyd van Rijcken and lived here until his death in 1710. After that time it passed through several hands before being purchased by the city of Amsterdam and converted into a museum in 1980.
Besides featuring paintings by both famous artists such as Johannes Vermeer or Frans Hals together with lesser known ones like Gerrit Douwesz or Adriaen Hannensis this place also has an interesting history behind its construction: In 1640 Johannes Vermeer sold his house at Noordeinde 82KG along with land surrounding it (plus another plot further out) to Arent van Cooteren who wanted to build himself some extra space when he decided upon building another house nearby instead; however after having been turned down by several investors due to lacklustre sales potential they eventually gave up on their plans - which left room open for Rembrandt's next project!
