Begin this fantastic half day tour exploring Dam Square, once the mouth of the Amstel River; marvel at the ornate grandeur of the cupola-topped Koninklijk Palace, one of a trio of Dutch royal residences. Admire the stunning facade of the 800 year old Nieuwe Kerk, which is such a part of the Dutch identity and is considered "Amsterdam's living room". Stroll Torensluis Bridge and pass by the house of Jewish wartime diarist Anne Frank before stopping to admire 17th century's Westerkerk's soaring tower. In atmospheric Nine Street, yield to the bustle of pavement cafes, florists and boutiques before marvelling at the rainbow of vivid fragrant blooms in Amsterdam's famous flower market. Next you're on to Spui Square, where booksellers and street artists vie for attention (on Fridays) close to the leafy courtyard of Begijnhof, a haven of quietude in the city's buzz and bustle.
