Museum Willet-Holthuysen, Amsterdam

Willet-Holthuysen is a true gem and a must for those who would love to know what Amsterdam's canal houses looked like centuries ago. In this 17th-century house, named after the last inhabitant, who left her house with everything in it to the city of Amsterdam in 1889, you can visit a 18th-century kitchen, apart from other 18th-19th-century rooms. Also the garden, laid out in 18th-century style, is worth a visit. Don't miss the art collection from the former 17th-century owner of the house, Abraham Willet on the top floor.
