Amsterdam

It’s easy to avoid the cold in Amsterdam, between the Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House, and even a museum dedicated to cheese. Grab a pint at Inʼt Aepjen, the city’s oldest bar, and feast on warm Stroopwafel and bitterballen (fried meatballs). And if the canals freeze over, do as the locals do — grab ice skates.
