Visit Amsterdam | Oldest city from 17th-century Golden Age.

Amsterdam is one of the greatest small cities in the world. From Amsterdam canals to world-famous Amsterdam museums and historical Amsterdam sights, it is one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in Europe. Canal cruises are a popular way to see the city from the perspective of its canals. Amsterdam is also a city of tolerance and diversity. It has all the advantages of a big city: rich culture, lively Amsterdam nightlife, international restaurants, good transport – but is quiet, and largely thanks to its extensive canals, has a little road traffic. In this city your destination is never far away, but get a bike for an authentic local experience. Amsterdam is one of Europe’s top short-break destinations. It’s a compact, instantly likeable city, that’s appealing to look at and pleasant to walk around. An intriguing mix of the parochial and the international, it has a welcoming attitude towards visitors and a uniquely youthful orientation, shaped by the liberal counter-culture that took hold in the 1960s. Also engaging are the buzz of its open-air summer events and the intimacy of its clubs and bars, not to mention the Dutch facility with languages: just about everyone you meet in Amsterdam will be able to speak near-perfect English, on top of their own native Dutch and often French and German too. Explore the canal rings to soak up the great atmosphere and find authentic shops. Visit the Rijksmuseum for some serious culture and the Anne Frank House for a touch of history. Go and have a beer in one of over 500 cafes and meet the locals. Visit the Vondelpark to enjoy the park and to lay back and relax. Stroll the Waterlooplein for vintage stuff or the famous and notorious Amsterdam Red Light District. And there is so much more to do.
