Amsterdam-Schiphol is well connected with the centre of Amsterdam, and there are a number of options when it comes to getting to the city centre.

Amsterdam is home to some of the liveliest nightlife in Europe, with a wide variety of bars and nightclubs catering to virtually every music taste you could imagine. In the city centre, Rembrandtplein and Leidseplein are the neighbourhoods to head to for a great (and often raucous) night out, with a range of live venues, dance music clubs and the city’s famous ‘brown cafes’ – traditional watering holes which have retained their original medieval character.

If you’re visiting Amsterdam for art and culture, the Rijksmuseum should be top of your list. One of the best art collections in the world, it includes masterpieces by Van Gogh and Rembrandt, among many others. Opposite sits the Van Gogh Museum, where you can explore the life and work of the troubled genius in even greater depth. The city’s most poignant museum is the Anne Frank House, where the teenager wrote her famous diary.
