Amsterdam, the Venice of the north

From Brussels we set off by train towards Amsterdam, the city of canals. A stroll along the main streets and you immediately notice how evocative and characterful this city is. The houses are really peculiar — just think, there are people who live inside boat-houses moored on the canals. The Dam is beautiful, the Begijnhof district, Anne Frank's house, the Van Gogh museum and of course the red-light district.

One tip... if you go in January, wrap up warm!
