The Netherlands: Amsterdam
Areas in the city:
In a nutshell...
Among the diverse cultural attractions in Amsterdam, visits to Anne Frank's house and the Van Gogh museum give a glimpse of the historical and artistic riches of the city. The capital is home to no fewer than 50 museums from the truly bizarre to the most classic collections of Dutch national heritage.
Vondel Park and the canals make up the backdrop of the city, ideal for family picnics and romantic strolls, with out for getting an essential visit to the flower market, the most famous in the world, near Muntplein. On bike or by foot, a stop at one of the city's numerous squares is a great way to get a feeling for the vibrancy of daily life in Amsterdam: in Rembrandtplein or Leidseplein, the most famous squares, you will find the well-known "brown café's".
To end the visit with a panoramic view of the city, make your way the Westerkerk and its bell tower, the tallest in Amsterdam, located in the heart of Jordaan, one of the fashionable quarters.
Amsterdam : Walks
Few hours in Eastern Islands
During work on the Canal Belt, much debris from the site was dumped into the Ij and that is the origin of these artificial islands constructed in this area that used to be mainly for ship yards. Today, these islands on the eastern side of the port district have been transformed into popular residential zones. Whether you walk through KNSM-eiland, Java-eiland or Borneo-eiland, you'll be amazed at the modern architecture such as: the "Barcelona" on the KNSM, imposing habitations, and the the houses that border the Java. Glancing back at the canals of the 17th century and downtown Amsterdam, you'll surely appreciate the modern constructions and tranquility of the neighborhood as much as Amsterdamians. You may enjoy exploring this are by bicycle, but be careful, although two-wheelers may be the preferred mode of transport for people in Amsterdam, it takes a bit of practice to navigate the city.
