Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum will appeal to museum buffs. Do some cultural sightseeing at Anne Frank House and NEMO Science Museum. There's still lots to do: stop by Red Light District, get around town with Centraal Station, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at ARTIS, and wander the streets of Leidseplein.
