Apartment in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is the Netherlands. Amsterdam is bicycles on its flat and comfortable streets. Amsterdam is the forbidden made visible in its Red Light District. Amsterdam is canals and flowers, it is art and the home of poor Anne Frank. Amsterdam is a city to stroll around or explore leisurely on a bike. For this, and so much more, Amsterdam is one of the most beloved European cities to see, live in, and visit.
"75 kilometres of canals in the land of bicycles"
Amsterdam is a city where magic waits around every corner. Crossed by canals and bridges, with vast gardens and colourful narrow houses, the Dutch capital is also a place where art reaches its peak. Apartum invites you to explore its extensive range of apartment rentals in Amsterdam, helping you find the perfect accommodation to fully experience the “Venice of the North”.
The Dutch capital is perfectly sized for exploring its corners on foot. By choosing an apartment in Amsterdam, you can make the most of your time, enjoying the freedom and independence to roam its canals, gardens, and lively streets.
Amsterdam’s history is deeply connected to its 165 canals, which define its landscape. This canal belt, known as the Grachtengordel, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Taking a cruise to explore the city from the water is one of the main attractions.
The Dam Square is its bustling central point, located in the Old Town (Oud-Centrum), while Leidseplein Square is a hub of activity filled with street performers.
No visitor should miss the Red Light District, one of the city’s oldest areas with the most liberal nightlife atmosphere.
Amsterdam’s commitment to art is evident in its nearly 75 museums, attracting millions of tourists each year. Many of these museums can be easily explored while staying in a rental apartment in Amsterdam, allowing you to move freely around the city of canals.
One of the largest museums you can visit from your accommodation in Amsterdam is the Rijksmuseum, which boasts an exceptional collection of paintings and numerous historical artefacts.
The significant legacy of painter Van Gogh is deeply rooted in the city, with his own museum housing the largest collection of works by the master artist. For fans of great painters, the Rembrandt House Museum is also a must-see.
A place of profound historical significance is the Anne Frank House, a powerful testament to the tragic Nazi occupation and the persecution of Jewish people.
A city renowned for its museums, but with so much to do that you might forget to visit them. From the “Venice of the North”, we love everything, even its name. But don’t stop at tulips and coffee shops (where coffee isn’t the main attraction). Enjoy Amsterdam!
Anne Frank: The house of this brave young girl is a tribute to the fight against injustice.
By Bike or Boat: Exploring the streets like a local on two wheels or cruising the canals is an unforgettable experience.
Museumplein: Art, life, and... museums for everyone!
Windmills and Tulips: Yes, they exist. One of those windmills is now a great spot for beer, and tulips… let’s talk about them in spring.
Parks Galore: Amsterdam’s parks are inexpensive havens and a hallmark of Dutch identity and lifestyle.
Waking up after a night of clubs and parties. What better way to recover than a calm stroll along the canals? Walk from Dam Square to the museum district and feel like a tulip next to Van Gogh’s sunflowers.
A colourful spring filled with flowers, a famous Red Light District, and 75 kilometres of canals… Amsterdam isn’t Venice, but it’s still a top destination in Europe. Take your legs, a bike, the tram, and… enjoy!
Amsterdam is the Venice of the North. No gondoliers, but plenty of canals. Amsterdam boasts 75 kilometres of waterways and flowers blooming in spring. Flowers, lots of them. Amsterdam is home to the Heineken brewery, Van Gogh’s sunflowers, Dam Square, and the infamous Red Light District. It’s a city of Christmas markets, bicycles, students, and modernity blended with tradition.
Tulips, windmills, and neighbouring Belgium. There’s so much to see and enjoy near Amsterdam. If you have enough time, here are some ideas to make your trip even more memorable. No matter how many days you spend, you’ll always want more!
Zaansee Schans: The windmills you’ve always imagined.
Keukenhof Gardens: Spring becomes even more colourful in these splendid gardens.
Bruges: Cross the border to visit one of Belgium’s treasures.
Volendam: What is it about fishing villages that’s so charming?
The centre of Amsterdam is a great choice for exploring the city. Moving around on foot, by bike, or by tram reveals why the Netherlands isn’t a land of mountains. Perhaps the tallest “peaks” are the Dutch people themselves!
The city centre allows you to enjoy Amsterdam’s museums and botanical gardens. If you fancy a coffee, the coffee shops are somewhat different from those in other cities – let’s just say they’re a bit less traditional...
Amsterdam’s centre: What and where? Look for the canals – they’re easy to spot on any map. Start at Dam Square, the central station, or the Red Light District – all part of the city’s core.
If you opt for the centre, you might not even need a bike. Everything is close by (if you enjoy walking), and if not, the tram is an excellent way to hop between museums.
