Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, is known for its artistic heritage, its elaborate system of canals and its narrow gabled houses, a legacy of the city's golden age, the 17th century. The Museum Quarter is home to the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, featuring works by Rembrandt and Vermeer, and the Stedelijk Museum, dedicated to modern art. Cycling contributes a lot to the character of the city, which has a high number of cycle paths.
