The Maritime Museum
In the 17th century, Amsterdam was the world’s largest port, and the Netherlands was a powerful country with many trade routes. Much of Amsterdam’s history is related to the sea. To truly understand Amsterdam, you must understand its seafaring past. Visit the Scheepvaartmuseum to experience this history first hand and be prepared to see Amsterdam with a new set of eyes. The museum is a great experience for visitors of all ages and is a must-see for history fanatics.
