There’s something for everyone in Turkey – from lounging at the beaches and navigating the winding alleys of millennia-old cities to skiing, mountaineering, and whitewater rafting. You’ll also find a myriad of historical sites and ancient ruins, all surrounded by dramatic, often breathtaking, scenery.
Although the main building is under construction until 2010, there’s a very worthy collection of the best of Dutch art – from masters like Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hals, and Steen – in the Philips Wing.
This intimate courtyard was once a cloister for nuns; inside you’ll find the oldest wooden house in the city as well as some unexpectedly handsome churches. The beautifully restored buildings date back to the 1400s.
Nearly adjacent to the Anne Frank House, this church is where you'll find Rembrandt's grave. Visitors today can climb its 272-foot tower (the tallest in Amsterdam) for the city’s best views and a look at the bells Anne Frank heard while in captivity.
