From the winding canals to world-famous museums and historical sites, from picturesque river houses to the hundreds of small bridges, Amsterdam is one of the most romantic and lovely cities in Europe. Throughout the centuries, Amsterdam has remained one of the most essential ports globally, and has established itself as a city of multiculturalism, tolerance and diversity. Here you can find the advantages of a big city, with a dynamic cultural landscape and an energetic, spectacular nightlife. At the same time, there are numerous quiet corners, thanks mainly to the extensive canals with little road traffic and a population that loves biking as the main means for moving around the city. Amsterdam is now one of the greenest capitals in the world.
The old city center is formed from canal rings, which give you the feeling of space and freedom. The historic heart of Amsterdam is represented by Piazza Dam and the nearby notorious Red District. But, as you move just a little way out of the most visited areas of Amsterdam, you will be surprised by the quaint atmosphere you find, where tranquility and absolute peace reign, and where the city has a very approachable and unique beauty.
While here, you should not miss a visit to the Van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum, a walk through the Red District, a boat tour of the canals, a bicycle ride just like the locals, a herring sandwich from one of many street vendors, and a pause in one of their famous coffee shops. You might even consider a day trip to see the surrounding towns and villages, famous for their iconic windmills.
