Amsterdam offers everything from cosy canalside cafes to Michelin-starred sushi restaurants. Local specialities include Dutch cheese, bitterballen (crispy, deep-fried meatballs), pancakes and raw herring.
Top tips for Melbourne to Amsterdam
Amsterdam's art scene
Cool and creative Melbourne is known for its art galleries – and so is the Dutch capital. Head to the Museumplein – or Museum Square – where you’ll find the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum.
Amsterdam takes pride in presenting works by the Dutch Masters alongside the cutting-edge and contemporary. The Van Gogh Museum is one of the best galleries, boasting 200 paintings and 50 drawings by the famous post-impressionist.
Make a splash
Amsterdam locals are just as passionate about sport as Melbourne’s residents, though the events are a little different in this European city.
Visit in September to watch – or dive in and join – 2,500 brave swimmers as they take on the Amsterdam City Swim. This bracing race covers 2,000 metres of canal, finishing in the heart of the city.
