Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most important artists in history and his works of art were a turning point. For that reason, the Van Gogh Museum, which is in Amsterdam, is one of the most important in the world. The place has one of the most important art collections of Van Gogh, which presents not only a large quantity of its paintings but also drawings that he did during his life. After the death of the artist in 1890, the works that weren´t sold ended up in the hands of his brother Theo, who died six months later and therefore widowing Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger, who sold the works so that the artist would be famous. Eventually, that collection ended up in the Stedelijk Museum and they were transferred finally to the Vincent Van Gogh Foundation in 1962 who ended up founding the museum of the artist. The place doesn´t only possess a great collection but also, many times, brings works from other museums and they make temporary exhibitions with these works.

Dine with the Dutch isn´t a restaurant in itself but it´s something that all tourists like or, at least, gets their attention. It´s exactly what its name says. The tourists can go and make an appointment to eat in a Dutch family household. Everything is done through the website of this project but the idea is so good and original that many foreigners prefer it to a restaurant. This way what one gets to see is what Amsterdam families are like, how the live, how they related and what they eat. And the best thing is that the food is homemade and is prepared by the host family. The families can be of any type, there´s a list to choose from according to preferences and styles. There can be a family of two gays or a 70 year old couple. That´s what the tourist chooses and that´s also what makes it nice and interesting. The price to pay is around 50 euros, but it´s worth it as an experience. If you want to get to know this beautiful city in Holland, rent apartments in Amsterdam and stay for a few days and come to see its wonderful...

If you´re in the city of Amsterdam you should, undoubtedly, take some time to visit the Fluorescent Art Museum that, differently to most of the other museums, doesn´t have the policy of ´no touching´ the works. On the contrary, it encourages its guests to become part of its works and samples. The place, which is one of the newest museums in the city, opened its doors in 1999 and it´s the only one of its type in the whole world, which makes it really curious and interesting. The museum houses a large amount of light-sensitive objects and minerals that modify their colour when under a black light, so they become fluorescent. One of the exhibitions is so big that its variety of views, shapes, tones and details can be explored by the visitors both walking through it and sitting down from a distance to appreciate it. Spending an afternoon in this museum will be very entertaining because there isn´t another place in the world that compares to this one, and the experiences that you´ll live here will be unique. You can rent apartments in Amsterdam and enjoy the Fluorescent Art...

The story of Anne Frank is one of the most well-known and it came out after the Second World War, when the Nazis persecuted the Jewish community. Anne Frank was a little girl who was hidden in an attic and who wrote a diary that is now one of the most sold books in history. For this reason, the Anne Frank house which is now a museum in Amsterdam, exhibits everything which is related to the life of this little girl and it highlights the persecution and discrimination of the time. The place opened its doors on May 3rd 1960 and, three years later, a foundation was created to protect the property so that it wasn´t demolished. This house is the same in which Anne Frank hid during months to evade the searches by Nazi patrols that, if they found her, would end up taking her to concentration camps like they did to all her family. If you wish to visit the Anne Frank House and see one of the most important museums that has plenty of history, you can rent apartments in Amsterdam and get to know everything related to this...

Hollandsche Schouwburg is a famous theatre in Amsterdam that hasn´t got as much artistic history as a tragic one. The “Dutch Theatre” was inaugurated for the first time at the end of the 19th century and it worked as a theatre until 1941 when the nazis took it over and converted it into an exclusive theatre for jews. The best plays were recreated in this theatre in the centre of the city of Amsterdam. Famous artists of the time came to sing or play and every performance day, the theatre was full, given the good reputation that it gave to go there. Nobody imagined what would happen after. That way, the jews that went to that theatre were marked, recruited and taken to concentration camps. That´s why the history of this theatre is so cold and sad. Today, in the same place, there´s a monument to all those murdered jews. In one of the rooms, above its walls, there are 6700 names of Jewish families that represent the 104 thousand Dutch jews that were killed during the Second World War. It´s a place you must visit in the city, an unmissable memorial that although it fills you with pain, also exemplifies what cannot happen ever again. Rent apartments in Amsterdam and you´ll be able to see all the museums in the...
