First are foremost this is a love letter to Amsterdam it's history, it's people and it's art. It is a long time since I visited Amsterdam but this book brought all of my fond memories of the place flooding back. It covers the various art movements giving you a good grounding to the fabulous art it them goes on to show you. The illustrations and photographs are stunning. I felt as though I was there again. Sigh ........

First of all, Thank You, Netgalley for the ARC granted to me. I truly love travel location guides that can elaborate infos and curiosities abo0ut the place in subject. This one was pretty well built, with a deep and yet dynamic narrative bringing sound cultural content from the Amsterdam. totally recommended!

For all those people who head straight to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this brilliant book has lots of other artistic suggestions. I particularly liked the options for travelling beyond Amsterdam to see more art in cities that are easily overlooked. I understand why there's an orange cover but the text in the same colour inside was not that easy on the eye. I'll definitely recommend this book for anyone visiting the Netherlands.

The concept and the information are wonderful.
If you are like me, and your favourite art pieces are mainly in Amsterdam, Madrid and London, and your favourite painters happen to be Dutch, you will love this book.
It works like a reminder and a guide for your future travels,
I did not love the entire layout and the design, but I am sure that the photos will look better in print.
