Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a tremendously cosmopolitan 17th century capital city with elegant canal houses, largely traffic-free roads and a relaxed atmosphere. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe with world-class art, ranging from the works of the Dutch Masters to the more contemporary and eclectic; stunning architecture and colourful buzzing streets. Valkenburg is a lively town, ideally located at the crossroads of Europe, perfectly positioned for exploring Germany and Belgium.
