MORE THAN A POSTCARD

Many people know Amsterdam only for its famous nightlife, but the Dutch capital has a far richer story. This is a city of merchants, sailors, painters and free thinkers, its history written on the façades and in the waters of its canals. Pick a small canal-side hotel, keep your plans loose and let the city lead the way.

FROM FISHING VILLAGE TO WORLD PORT

In the early 13th century a modest fishing settlement grew up at the mouth of the River Amstel, protected by a dam – hence the city’s name. The name Amstelledamme first appears in a charter of Count Floris V. Trade in grain and beer drove rapid growth in the 14th and 15th centuries, and in the 17th century, the Dutch Golden Age, Amsterdam became one of the most important trading centres in the world. The Dutch East India Company sent ships from its harbour all the way to Asia, and the money poured into building. This is when the famous ring of canals was created, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Little survives of the medieval city, since most houses were made of wood and often burned down. The oldest buildings are the Old and New Churches and the Houten Huis – a wooden house in the quiet Begijnhof courtyard. From the Golden Age come the Royal Palace on Dam Square (originally the city hall), the Westerkerk and Zuiderkerk churches and many merchants’ houses along the canals, such as the Trippenhuis.

WHAT TO SEE IN AMSTERDAM

  • Museums – the Rijksmuseum with Rembrandt’s Night Watch, the Van Gogh Museum and the Rembrandt House.
  • Anne Frank House – a moving testimony to the Second World War; tickets are sold online only and well in advance.
  • Canals and bridges – a boat tour or a stroll through the Jordaan for the best photo spots.
  • Markets and parks – the floating Bloemenmarkt flower market and Vondelpark for a break from the crowds.

CLOGS – A SOUVENIR WITH A STORY

Before heading home, find yourself a pair of wooden shoes – klompen. Although many see them as souvenirs today, they are still worn in rural parts of the Netherlands because they are practical on wet ground and easy to clean. They are usually made from poplar or willow, often painted, and are said to protect the foot from sharp and heavy objects. Skilled craftsmen can carve only a handful of pairs by hand each day. Because worn-out clogs ended up as firewood, their origins are hard to pin down, but they are thought to be around 800 years old – one of the oldest was found right here in Amsterdam, on Nieuwendijk. The Dutch language has plenty of sayings about wooden shoes, and millions of souvenir clogs are sold every year, so you’re sure to find your pair.
