Amsterdam, The Netherlands

A city of diamonds for some, a forbidden paradise for others, Amsterdam welcomes a variety of tourists who, surrounded by bicycles, tulips and the idiosyncratic wonders of the city, just wish that they had another pair of eyes to be able to see all that there is to see. The canals, the architecture, the coffee shops, the art and literature, this is city rich in culture, which is both traditional and modern. Although the rhythm of the city moves at a slow and gentle pace, much like its river and bicycles, this is not a place that you will be tired of!

Visit Amsterdam

  • To see

    There are numerous museums, exhibitions and other cultural events in the city. The Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum and the house of Anne Frank are some of the attractions in this city.
    A trip to Asmterdam must also include, of course, a tour of the red light district.

    To do

    Taking a walk along the canals and getting lost in the city are among the most effective ways to discover Amsterdam, its architectural wealth and its oddities.

    To think about

    Before taking a taxi, ask whether the meter is switched on. Remember that the city is small and that it costs ?10 (about £8) for more than a 5 minute drive.
  • To avoid

    Do not take cannabis back with you when you leave, it is illegal and many control checks are carried out on trains, buses and aircraft.
    Also, it is unwise to walk alone at night in the red light district, especially if you are a girl.

    To try

    The capital of Gouda cheese offers a wide choice of cheeses. Taste some ripe Amsterdam Gouda, it is truly excellent. Otherwise, Amsterdam has nothing very original in terms of gastronomy, apart from perhaps herring, which is pickled, in sauce or grilled and can be found everywhere.
    As for the local drink, it is of course beer, and the choice is wide.

    To bring back

    Do not think about bringing ?hash? back with you, as it is illegal and you cannot take it through customs.
    In the flower market, you will find bulbs for sale, which are a good idea if you're looking for an original gift.

If there was only one tour we could do, we would definitely choose a walk along the canals surrounding the ancient city centre - Amsterdam Centrum. Here at Easyvoyage, we have ...
