Ideas For Amsterdam
If trying to decide which European city offers the best combination of art, museums, nightlife, and café culture then you would be hard pressed to find a better choice than Amsterdam. Famous for their tolerant attitudes, the people of Amsterdam are very welcoming.
Getting there
Schipol International Airport is only 15 km outside the city and is one of the largest and busiest airports of Europe, reachable through all the main international airlines. Once there, trams are the main form of transport in the city. The central district is flat so walking can be a pleasant option, or you can copy the locals and hire a bicycle to get around.
Things To Do
There are so many attractions in Amsterdam that it is hard to know where to start. Art lovers flock to The Van Gogh Museum, which houses 200 works of art. The Rijksmuseum, a world-leading gallery, also exhibits artwork by famous artists such as Rembrandt and Vermeer. Anne Frank’s house is also a popular place to visit and see where the Jewish schoolgirl hid from the Nazis during the war. You can still see her diary in which she wrote her famous story.
Taking a boat ride along the canal is a great way to view the city’s fine architecture. Also if the alternative culture of Amsterdam interests you, why not visit one of its famous bohemian café bars or take a stroll through the red light district.
The unique atmosphere of Amsterdam is hard to define but easy to enjoy. So what are you waiting for?
