Anne Frank House – obviously. Those who go will be surprised at just how tiny those secret rooms are.

Oude Kirk – the oldest church

Skinny Bridge

Cannabis College and the Hash Museum

Rijks Museum

Albert Cuyp street market

There are hundreds of Coffee Shops and bars to explore, plenty of nice places to eat (to suit all pockets), little parks, open air markets. You should hire a bicycle while there to really see the place.

Holland

Guest

I think a lot of people make the mistake to only visit Amsterdam. It is a beautifull city make no mistake, but it is not the only city in the Netherlands and it certainly does not give you the full Dutch experience. You could go by train and visit another city like Haarlem(15 minutes by train), Leiden(30-40 minutes), Delft(1 hour) or The Hague(50 minutes). Check this site for the best train connection

It is still a beta version so might have some kinks, but still very good. If the train is too expensive for your taste you could rent a car or go by bike we have very good dedicated cycle lanes. Things that I would recommend outside Amsterdam:

- Ancient castles
Muiderslot  http://www.muiderslot.nl/
Loevestein  http://www.slotloevestein.nl/
Naarden fortress http://www.vestingmuseum.nl/

- ancient windmills
Kinderdijk  http://www.kinderdijk.com/
Zaanse Schans  http://www.zaanseschans.nl/

- Amusements parks and similar
Efteling http://www.efteling.nl/
Keukenhof http://www.keukenhof.nl/
