The capital of The Netherlands and one of Europe’s most liberal and culturally diverse cities, Amsterdam, shines as one of the most popular destinations in the world. It’s no wonder its popularity has grown to what it is today. This city is full of so many amazing museums, funky clothing shops, cute cafés and much more that you simply cannot pass it up. Though it is quite cold at this time of year, New Year’s Eve in Amsterdam is something to witness at least once in your life so you can partake in the street madness and firework frenzy. Here’s a list of the top 5 spots you have to see while visiting this beautiful canal city:

1. The Van Gogh Museum is full of some of the best works of this famous artist.
2. If you ever read The Diary of Anne Frank in school or even if you’re just curious about her life, you can’t miss the Anne Frank Huis tour.
3. Take a Canal Cruise and get a chance to see the famous skinny Amsterdam buildings scattered throughout the city.
4. For some of the best shopping in Europe, hit the Kalverstraat for shops like H&M, or if you’re looking for something a little more unique and a little less crowded, try De Negen Straatjes (The nine little streets).
5. For New Years, get a spot at the Nieuwmarkt, a square full of cafes, pubs, and restaurants where people gather to welcome in the New Year.
