Amsterdam, a mecca for Art lovers
Amsterdam never fails to impress art lovers, with its many impressive exhibitions held throughout the year. On Friday nights the Van Gogh Museum is open until 10pm and there is always something special going on. Every Friday night, lounge chairs, video projections, live music, DJs and a bar transform the museum's central hall into a relaxed place to meet.
