Men Who Like to Travel - David Latt

Moving into the colder months, be sure to carry an umbrella or rain coat when you visit Amsterdam. Don't let the rain stop you from renting a bicycle. It's still the best way to see Amsterdam. A city on a uniquely human-scale, there's so much to see in Amsterdam, focusing day trips in a single area will help you enjoy the city at a leisurely pace.    MUSEUMPLEIN AND DE PIJP Amsterdam is home to dozens of great museums, not the least of which are the  Amsterdam Historical Museum  (Kalverstraat 92) , the inspiring  Dutch Resistance Museum  (Plantage Kerklaan 61), the  Filmmuseum  (Vondelpark 3), the  Foam-Fotografiemuseum  (Keizersgracht 609), the Royal Palace (Dam), and the remarkable  Hermitage Amsterdam  (Amstel 51).  For a day trip, three of Amsterdam's best museums are conveniently within a block of one another in the  Museum Plaza  (Museumplein) just south of the city center.   Ongoing renovation
