thousands of small lights. It looks magical and is sure to enchant
the first time visitor.

and many interesting places to visit. The RijksMuseum is The
Netherlands National Museum and is a must for all visitors

you need to know about The Dutch! Located in the same part of town

the many excellent old cafes and coffee houses. In the evening
