Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ capital, known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses. Amsterdam is a real cycling city. Getting around by bike is part of the dutch culture. In fact, there are around 800,000 bikes in Amsterdam alone. The best way to get around is by bike. Home to the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum, Museumplein is known as the cultural beating heart of Amsterdam. One of the top places to go in Amsterdam is the Anne Frank House. You can reflect on WW II and on the house where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis for two years. It will give you an idea of what life was like for Anne and her family. If you are not into museums, you can take a canal cruise.Amsterdam is known for its many canals. The center of the city is basically a big network of canals, along which you will find Amsterdam’s monumental canal houses. If you are looking for a break from sightseeing and shopping, you can stop at one of the many parks in Amsterdam. You can lay down, play a ball game, and just enjoy the beautiful weather. Amsterdam has always been on my bucket list of places to travel to. It is a city filled with so much culture and history that I want to jump right into. I cannot wait till I get to check this place off of my bucket list!
