Amsterdam Tour
When we talk about Amsterdam,
Netherlands, it is very hard not to imagine misty cafes
and scantily clothed women moving provocatively in
windows with red lights. Many of the travelers from
across the world return to this ultimate city of “sin”
because of these sights alone. Most of them are busting
with tales of the unexpected and if you get chances to
visit the place, I’m sure that you will also create your
own tales to tell.
Well, Amsterdam is not just about sex
and drugs; it has all the great things that Mother Earth
has to offer. The Netherlands has in fact that most
amount of great museums per square foot than anywhere
else in the world. If you take a tram ride 10 minutes
from the heart of the city, you can overwhelm yourself
with those narrow streets occupied with nothing else
other than the cyclist and a car every now and then.
The city is in fact so quite, but interesting.
Things to See in Amsterdam
The greatly planned city of Amsterdam
is one of the few cities in the world where the people,
the streets and the atmosphere are an attraction in
themselves. It is in fact well-known throughout the
world as the sole city where marijuana and hashish are
sold legally. And, the worldly known Red Light District
is just as much an attraction as a favorite hub for
young men full of testosterone to go at night.
But as mentioned earlier, there is
far much more to the city than drugs and prostitutes or
sex. The city has long been considered as the “Venice
of the North” because it was built on a cobweb of
canals. You can greatly see most of the city from a
canal boat, and from there you’ll surely appreciate the
unique architecture that Amsterdam has long been proud
to offer.
Furthermore, Amsterdam is heaving
with a culture. It has a lot of great museums and
libraries. Of all the interesting museums in the city
of Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank Museum and Van
Gogh Museums are names not to be missed.
Where to Eat
When you stroll around in the city of
Amsterdam, you’ll surely find a high volume of
restaurants. As commonly noted, you can see sandwich
boards in front of the many restaurants advertising
their daily specials and from a minute walk down the
Damrak, the street facing Central Station, there are
some neon lights saying “pizza”.
If you delver further into the city,
you can find the Damstraat, the street on Dam Square,
also peppered with eateries. Further down again towards
Leidseplen, the Leidsekruisstraat and Leidsetraat have
their good share of restaurants too. It is necessary to
note however that the streets mentioned earlier are
located in some of the city’s most touristy areas. So,
if you wish to steer clear of such commercial centers,
you have the chance to visit the Jordaan as some of the
city’s coolest restaurants are found there.
In case you prefer to eat out in a
restaurant beyond your budget during your tour, there
are also some fast food outlets all over Amsterdam where
you can get pizzas, chips or kebabs. However, just be
careful when asking for mayonnaise on your French fries
for they will be completely drowned. |
