Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Canal boats double as entertainment and transport, the NEMO science museum is five floors of hands-on chaos, and Vondelpark absorbs whatever energy remains. Amsterdam is flat, compact and best seen from a bike with a child seat — locals will assume you're one of them. The Van Gogh Museum runs family trails that genuinely work, and pancakes are considered a legitimate main course.
