Almost every national dish can be found in Amsterdam. You can even have lunch or dinner on board of a pleasure boat. Tourist offices and bookstores offer a number of restaurant guides. For those interested in culture, Amsterdam has a lot to offer. Museums such as the Rijksmuseum with Rembrandt's world famous 'Nightwatch', the Van Gogh Museum and the prestigious Museum of Modern Art are but a few.
Movie theaters show mostly Hollywood products in English with Dutch subtitles.
Tickets for some theaters like the Opera House are very hard to come by, but they do however offer last minute tickets, distributed 15 minutes before the commencement of the opera. Shopping Shopping in Amsterdam is really rather special. It is not just because of the many different shops, but you also find yourself wandering through the beautiful historic city center. A neighborhood well worth exploring is the 'Jordaan', which has an amazing concentra-tion of charming little shops and boutiques with prices that may often come as a nice surprise. Amsterdam is also called the diamond city.
