Amsterdam manages to be chic, kooky and elegantly antiquated all at once. The Golden Age masterpieces of the Rijksmuseum and the Impressionist painting of Van Gogh attract culture-vultures, the nightlife lures in the party people and the chic hotels a well-heeled, fashionable crowd. We've scoured the city for the best boutique hotels and written up first-hand reviews. Watch this space for our Amsterdam travel guide which comes out in May.

Those poor old Amsterdamers have had alcohol forced on them. If it weren’t for their laudable interest in hygiene the Dutch would all be sober, teetotal H²O tipplers. Or so they claim.
Shopping in Amsterdam | Jasper Winn | Netherlands, Amsterdam, Amsterdam

The New Amsterdam | Norman Miller | Netherlands, Amsterdam, Amsterdam
......the rush comes not just from the caffeine but from feeling like you’re the master of some new Amsterdam universe
Cycling with Rembrandt | Philip Sen | Netherlands, Amsterdam, Amsterdam
Pedal on through comatose villages like De Rijp and Schermerhorn, which look like they've been undisturbed since the Peace of Westphalia. Look closely and you can still imagine the subjects of Rembrandt's rural sketches
