Visitors can tour this 17th-century canal-side house in Amsterdam, which is filled with furnished period rooms and works of art that were donated by the owner Louisa Willet-Holthuysen to the city in 1895.

This house is beautiful and I was in the mood for a small museum instead of one of the larger and more overwhelming ones. It consists of three floors with an audio guide and takes about an hour, and there is a lovely garden in the back. The paintings (especially of dogs) and art collection is quite impressive for the couples house. I was really amazed on how beautiful and intricate the details were - I would highly recommend giving this house a visit. Each room is so specifically designed and carefully thought through. The staff are also quite friendly. Another plus - there is a bathroom located on each floor. This is a place I would consider holding a private event. Loved it.

In the heart of Amsterdam on the Keizersgracht the house of the Amsterdam regent family Van Loon can still be seen. Seven days a week the family opens their home and collection to the public. Get a glimpse of the life of the Amsterdam Van Loon family in one of the finest canal houses of the city. Due to corona measures, the museum is temporarily closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (but still open for private tours and rental opportunities).

An amazing collection housed in one of the original canal houses owned by the Van Loon family (who co-founded the Dutch East India company). Small but well worth a look. They had an exhibition in the coach hose of sketches and watercolours.

One of Amsterdam's main squares, this is an ideal place to sit on one of the many terraces and watch the world go by.

While taking the tram, I saw the statues in the distance without knowing about the area. I had to get off at the next stop to walk back to Rembrandt Square and I'm glad I did. Very neat statues showcasing respectable people. Worth the stop!
10. Bridge of 15 Bridges
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 235 reviews
There is one bridge in Amsterdam’s central canal belt that gives a view of no less than 15 bridges. This unusual sight is found at the bridge crossing of the Reguliersgracht with the Herengracht, on the side with odd numbers. Standing on this bridge with your back to the Thorbeckeplein, you will see six arched bridges in a row. To the left you will find six more over the Herengracht and on the right you will see the next two. The 15th is the bridge you are standing on. It is particularly worth coming here at night as the bridges are illuminated giving one of the most beautiful and romantic views in Amsterdam.
