Amsterdam is a city that any traveler would love to visit. It is the capital and largest city located in the Netherlands. The name of Amsterdam came from the building of a bridge with a dam across the river Amstel. Beautiful, historic, and culturally diverse, Amsterdam has so many things to see and do. The beautiful architecture is stunning to admire, and the canals are not to be missed. It is a city full of friendly people, most of whom speak English, and it will captivate all with its old-world charm.
Amsterdam can be visited year round. The coldest months are January and February, so this may be too cold to wander the city on foot or by bicycle comfortably. The warmest months are July and August, but the average daily temperature is a pleasant 72 degrees.
Amsterdam has an amazing array of museums. The Anne Frank House covers the life of Anne Frank, the Jewish girl and her famous diary. In the very same house where the museum is located, she wrote about her life in this diary while hiding from persecution by the Nazis. For those who love art, the Van Gogh Museum is a must see as it has an unbelievable collection of Van Gogh paintings and drawings. The Rijksmuseum features a collection of paintings from the Dutch Golden Age.
The canals have been a part of Amsterdam since the early 14th century, and the canal cruises are entrancing for all. Whether a person chooses a romantic candle-lit ride or a sight-seeing cultural cruise, it is a must do for any visitor to Amsterdam. These ancient canals with their illuminated bridges are a stunning sight to behold. They are just a great way to get around and see this breath-taking city.
The most visited area in Amsterdam is the Old Center, which is divided into the New Side and the Old Side. The five major concentric canals encircle Old Center and form the Canal Ring. The New Side features the Dam Square and the Royal Palace. The Old Side is home to Chinatown and the Red Light District.
Take a stroll through the charming streets and stop at one of the countless cozy cafés for a relaxing lunch. Enjoy the open-air markets and chat with the locals. It is a city steeped in history, beauty, and culture. Amsterdam will definitely be an unforgettable, unique experience.
