A Quick peak at Amsterdam
Neat, orderly and compact. All words that the Dutch happily use to describe Amsterdam. Home to more canals than Venice, the locals are proud of the fact that their city has none of the odor often associated with canals in other places. That, they say, was taken care of hundreds years ago by good engineering. You can forgive them for the pride that they take in their city. They have much to be proud of. A great place to just hang out, Amsterdam has attracted tourists from around the world who come to experience its open-minded sophistication while enjoying its safety and order. Your Amsterdam hotel will be only a few meters from the major
attractions of the city. And you need not worry about cleanliness. The hotels in Amsterdam all exemplify the city's fascination with spotlessness.
The best way for a quick introduction to the city is by means of a boat and bus tour. A history of the city, the
canals, and the various
districts provide a great overview that will help orient you for your further exploration of the city. All of the major attractions are within the canal belt, and are therefore within walking distance of one another. Should you need a rest, there are plenty of
cafes, bistros, and park benches to take advantage of.
Take time to visit the
Royal Palace. This impressive structure dates back to the mid 17th century. You can simply walk the grounds and admire the architecture, but we recommend a tour. The fascinating history of the building is a series of stories which simply must be heard. The
Anne Frank house tells a story of different kind. You may tour the home and see the pictures that Anne herself pinned to the walls of her hiding place.
The
Rijksmuseum and the
Vincent van Gogh Museum display masterpieces of the talented sons of the Netherlands. The
Heineken Brewery Museum offers works of a different sort. This operating Brewery dates back to 1864.
The best of Amsterdam, however, is found in its streets. The
clubs and
restaurants of the
Rembrandtplein buzz day and night. The
Red Light District offers the obvious, as well as cafes, bistros and even a
Sex Museum. This is a city that enjoys its open,
liberal attitudes and invites its guests to truly relax in whatever way they choose.
