SIESTA TO FIESTA

Amsterdam

EUROPE · GOLDEN HOUR · CANAL RINGS
Seventeenth-century canals, world museums and a city best understood from a bicycle seat.
Canal houses of Amsterdam

The plan

Bike the canal ring
Rent a bike, follow the Prinsengracht loop, get pleasantly lost.
Rijksmuseum + Van Gogh
Book both, split days. Rembrandt's Night Watch deserves an unhurried hour.
Jordaan brown cafés
Candle-lit pubs with centuries of varnish — order a biertje, stay a while.
Canal cruise at dusk
The houses lean and glow — the evening boats have the light.
Albert Cuyp stroopwafels
Fresh off the iron at the street market — worth every queue minute.
