Amsterdam is the Netherlands' capital, known for its imaginative legacy, expound channel framework and restricted houses with gabled veneers, legacies of the city's seventeenth century Golden Age. Its Museum District houses the Van Gogh Museum, works by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, and current workmanship at the Stedelijk. Cycling is critical to the city's character, and there are various bicycle ways.
