As a big city, Amsterdam is relatively quieter than any other European big cities. But at the same time, Amsterdam is so interesting. The sight is wonderful with classic architecture and misty cafes scattered throughout the city. 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.

Amsterdam is not just about sex and drugs that offered by its red light districts. Sightseeing tour is one of the tourist favorites. 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.

Culinary tour can also be a right choice when visiting Amsterdam. There are many famous restaurants serving delicious dishes from around the worlds. 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 are willing to embrace a kind of different food adventure, try Indonesian restaurants with their distinct tasty and spicy recipes.
