Amsterdam
Netherlands
Canals, cycling, and culture beyond Van Gogh.
Amsterdam fits an extraordinary amount into a small city. 17th-century canal houses lean at impossible angles over still water. The Rijksmuseum houses Rembrandt and Vermeer. The Jordaan is one of Europe's most pleasant neighbourhoods to wander. And the Dutch cycling infrastructure makes getting around genuinely fun.
