Amsterdam is
one of the greatest small cities in the world. From its
canals to its world-famous museums and historical
centers, Amsterdam is one of the most romantic and
beautiful cities in Europe. There is nothing quite like
this small capital and its deep cultural heritage. Not
only is Amsterdam beautiful, serene, and romantic, it is
also wild and sophisticated.
Amsterdam is a cultural, historical, and architectural
marvel. The city itself is laid out in concentric rings
of canals around the old center, crosscut by a network
of access roads and alley-like connecting streets. Trams
and water taxis can help visitors who get tired of
walking, although one can see the whole city by foot if
one chooses. Most of the museums are clustered at the
edge of the canal district, and their offerings are
among the best in Europe. In addition, visitors will
want to see Europe's first stock exchange and drink
coffee at one of the first coffee houses in Europe.
Then, one might wish to stop by the Anne Frank house,
where the famous diarist's family hid during World War
II. The Science and Technology Museum is also a great
place to take kids for an hour or two of educational
fun.
Adults will also enjoy Amsterdam's amazing energy,
vitality and vibrancy. The world-famous red-light
district has attracted visitors for a very long time,
and it is truly a marvel. One can enjoy it simply by
walking through and taking in the surreal atmosphere
that surrounds this part of the city where women in
lingerie sit in windows doing their nails. The markets
and streets are full of organists, peddlers, and vendors
and performers of all kinds who love to entertain. As
one might guess, the nightlife in Amsterdam is truly
amazing! Clubs are open till the wee hours of the
morning, as are many coffee houses and bars.
Amsterdam is an incredibly unique city. Not only is it
incredibly beautiful, with its canals, windmills, dykes,
and countryside, but it is also incredibly vibrant and
alive. Its museums house some of the world's greatest
masterpieces, and its history is an important part of
the history of Europe itself. Amsterdam's red light
district, and its tolerant laws have drawn crowds of
pleasure seekers who bring another dimension to the
city. This is a city which has culture, ambience,
romance combined with a proud and lively sense of humor
and vitality. It is not to be missed!
