Amsterdam: Paradise for Culture Lovers and Fun Seekers
Amsterdam is love at first sight. Leidseplein hums with activity, canal houses sparkle in the sun, Kalverstraat bursts with shoppers, canal-side cafés and hordes of tourists wander through the Red Light District – Amsterdam is the city to be!
Whether you would like to stroll along Dam Square, cruise the canals, visit a museum or go for a picnic in one of the many parks, Amsterdam-Now takes you to well-known places and highlights such as the Van Gogh Museum and the Red Light District but also to lesser known sights and hotspots like a Chinese Temple and an alms court. Whatever you do, be sure to include a boat trip on the Amsterdam canals. Be Dutch with the Dutch and explore the city on a guided bicycle tour.
