DK Eyewitness Amsterdam by DK Eyewitness

Welcome to Amsterdam – a city where the past and present collide.

Whether you want to cruise the narrow waterways, wonder at the works of the Old Masters in the Rijksmuseum, or cycle through the bulbfields, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that Amsterdam has to offer.
Rich in heritage, Amsterdam’s perfectly preserved 17th-century canal-side mansions invoke the city’s former wealth. But Amsterdam is so much more than it’s past. Bubbling with creativity and liberalism, the streets are awash with cutting-edge art, theatre and food. And while night owls flock to the buoyant bars and performance art venues, families will find a huge mix of attractions and activities that won’t fail to keep the kids entertained.
Our newly updated guide brings Amsterdam to life, transporting you there like no other travel guide does with expert-led insights, trusted travel advice, detailed breakdowns of all the must-see sights, photographs on practically every page, and our hand-drawn illustrations, which place you inside the city’s iconic buildings and neighbourhoods. We’ve also worked hard to make sure our information is as up-to-date as possible following the COVID-19 outbreak.
