Amsterdam is a compact, instantly likeable city. It is often referred to as one of the most colourful cities in the world, It's entrancing to look at and pleasing to walk around, a designing combine of the parochial and the international. It also has a welcoming attitude towards visitors. It's very easy to feel drawn by the buzz of open-air summer events, by the cheery intimacy of the city's clubs and bars, and by the Dutch ability with languages: the most people you’ll meet in Amsterdam will be able to speak fluent English and often more than a smattering of German and French too.
Amsterdam’s lay-out is determined by a web of canals radiating out from an historical core to loop right round the centre. The three 17th-century canals you explore on this tour -- Herengracht (Gentlemen's Canal), Keizersgracht (Emperor's Canal), and Prinsengracht (Princes' Canal) -- are the very heart of Golden Age Amsterdam, emblems of the city's wealth and pride in its heyday. You stroll along miles of tree-lined canals and pass innumerable old canal houses with gables in various styles (bell, step, neck, and variations), classical facades, warehouses converted to apartments, houseboats, bridges, museums, cafes, restaurants, boutiques, offbeat stores, and battered bikes secured to lampposts. Boat tour on the canals included.
Amsterdam charms are supplemented by a string of first-rate attractions, most especially the Anne Frankhuis, where the young Jewish diarist hid away during the German occupation of World War II, the Rijksmuseum, with its astonishing collection of Dutch paintings, including several of Rembrandt's finest works, and the incomparable Vincent van Gogh Museum, with the largest collection of the painter's work in the world.
During sightseeing Amsterdam, you will find famous museums, cozy pubs, fun shops and a unique flower market and a lot of other interesting places!
