With 3 days in Amsterdam, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. The Dutch capital earned its wealth during the Golden Age, when it was the world's richest city and traders brought goods (and ideas) from every corner of the globe. That cosmopolitan spirit persists: Amsterdam remains one of Europe's most tolerant and progressive cities, where diversity is celebrated and individual freedom is fiercely protected.
