Region: Noord-Holland
Population: 474,292
From the famous Red Light District to the newly-revitalized Jordaan neighborhood, Amsterdam is a quirky European capital that has a lot more on offer than smoke shops selling marijuana and hashish. Full of offbeat shopping venues, vibrant cafes, waterside hotels, distinctive houses, world-class museums, fascinating architecture and gourmet restaurants, Amsterday is a charming, friendly city. Tall, blonde English-speaking locals zip around on bikes or take in a sunny day on porches overlooking the criss-crossing canals of this majestic locale, where you can go inline-skating through Vondelpark or visit one of the famous museums, like the Ann Frank House, the Rembrant House Museum, the Van Gogh Museum or the Jewish Historical Museum. Neighborhood bars and gin-sampling houses come alive at night, and make sure you stroll through some of the canals to see the tiny lights that give the city a fairytale aura. By day, browse antiquarian bookstores and take in the vibrant ambiance. For Amsterdam travel ideas that cater to you, including what to see and do, where to stay, where to eat and where to shop, visit Tripbase's top personalized recommendations.

Made famous by the heartbreaking diary of Anne Frank, a visit to this house retells the tragic, chilling experience of three families who hid from the Nazis in these very walls during WWII. With the recent publication of Mr. Frank's desperate letters to friends in the United States and failed attempts at procuring visas for his family, new light has been shed on the Frank family history.
