About
Amsterdam's history unfolds through its iconic neighborhoods and landmarks, where remnants of the past coexist with the present. The Anne Frank House offers a poignant glimpse into wartime history, allowing visitors to reflect on the life of Anne Frank in the very space where she wrote her diary. A short walk away, the 17th-century canals of the Grachtengordel, a UNESCO World Heritage site, reveal the architectural styles that define the Golden Age, with well-preserved merchant houses lining the waterways.
