10 museums to discover eclectic Amsterdam

By

It is well known that Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is an ideal destination for a festive and cultural long weekend. Famous for its canals, its gabled houses, its innate sense of party, and its guilty pleasures (yes coffee shop and red-light district I’m referring to you), I propose today a new angle to visit the dynamic Dutch city: through its museums.

Enclosing secrets as old as the world, mysterious and intriguing, these temples of knowledge offer much more than literary choices. They present marvellous architectures symbolising the developments and ideas of history and dazzle with such cachet.

From the oldest to the most futuristic, these spaces dedicated to reading were all built with the aim of being able to amaze, charm and above all inspire visitors. Well, mostly to charm and inspire me. And make me travel to unusual places.

One of my favourite getaways just 3 hours from home, Milan is a city that I am particularly fond of and that has started to reveal itself to me over the last ten years or so. I have become so familiar with Milan because I often go to the Italian economic capital to support my favourite football team, thanks to my dad, who shared the red and black fever with me.
