The Van Gogh Museum displays over 200 of Vincent van Gogh's works, including landscapes, still lifes and drawings, and letters. By displaying them alongside works from Van Gogh's contemporaries, viewers get real insights into his life and work. The museum itself is comprised of two buildings. The main building, designed by Gerrit Rietveld, Joan van Dillen, and J. van Tricht, opened in 1973. The second building, designed by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa was added in 1999. Located in Amsterdam's Museumplein (along with the Stedelijk and Rijksmuseum), the Van Gogh Museum is one of the most-visited museums in the Netherlands.

Welcome to the coolest bar in Amsterdam (literally). This teeth-chattering locale is the perfect spot to sample the lifestyle of a Polar explorer, without the risk of frostbite. Just meters from the busy Rembrandt Square, this is a great stop on a night on the town in Amsterdam. Free drinks and thermals should keep you warm. The bar is sculpted from 60 tons of natural ice and even your glass here is made from frozen H2O!

Located on Amsterdam’s Dam Square, this cabinet of curiosities showcases more than 500 exhibits and artifacts in its five floors.

There’s also a spacious café with a view to the square and a 5D cinema on the fourth floor.

The Modern Contemporary (Moco) Museum Amsterdam is housed inside Villa Alsberg, a 1904 townhouse in the middle of Amsterdam Museumplein. High-profile guest curators and exhibitions highlight some of the modern world's best contributors to the art world. Eduard Cuypers, cousin of Rijksmuseum designer Pierre Cuypers, designed the townhouse, making it a sight to see in itself. But the work inside is absolutely phenomenal; two current attractions showcase the work of street art activist Banksy, and pop artist extraordinaire, Andy Warhol.

Amsterdam's Ajax ArenA is so Awesome that they spell it with a capital 'A'at the front and the back of the name. It's the largest stadium in the whole country and has a retractable roof. When not being used for Ajax (or national team) games, big ticket concerts are sometimes held here. Artists including Madonna, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, and The Rolling Stones have all played gigs here.
