A city with a sense of historical continuity, apparent in the grand canal-houses, and the imposing churches and street scenes, Amsterdam seems to have barely changed since its depiction in paintings created 400 years ago. An illustrious past is on show from Golden Age art in the Rijksmuseum to Dutch East India Company warehouses around the docks. But Amsterdam also definitely has an eye for the contemporary. Dutch design is arguably the best in the world: think of product designer Tord Boontje, design collective Droog Design and fashion twosome Viktor & Rolf.
