Amsterdam
Amsterdam is the capital of Holland and is a city filled with culture and intrigue. The Museumplein is just one part of this town which attracts thousands of tourists every year, a town centre square surrounded by art and history museums. The Rijksmuseum is a fantastic starting point, housing the largest and most impressive collection of Dutch art, this museum is home to more than one million artifacts. The Van Gogh museum is located in one of the more modern buildings in this area of the city. The coffee shops here are also popular with tourists and there is near enough one on every corner. Abraxas for example has its own gift shop and is beautifully decorated with detailed and enchanting hand paintings.
A hotel room or apartment in this city can be rented at a very affordable price and long weekends here can cost as little as a few hundred pounds. A stay in a city based hotel or apartment offers you close access to all the museums, coffee shops, theatres and restaurants. Every room in the Rembrandt hotel comes with satellite television, telephone and safe. It is situated between Herengracht and Singel, a tranquil canal in the city centre, just 2 minutes away from the Dam square and shopping complex. The Nova hotel offers 3 star accommodation in the heart of Amsterdam as well as wifi access and a refrigerator in each room.
An apartment or hotel in this city will give you the opportunity to relax over a long weekend or even longer. The city is open to tourists throughout the year and the many events occurring here will guarantee you will not get bored. The Amsterdam Dance Event takes place every October at the Heineken Music Hall
and attracts some of dance music's biggest names like Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren. There are over 100 other festivals that take place in this great city each year too. A stay in any hotel or apartment in this city promises unforgettable moments and will open your eyes to a world of culture.

Amsterdam is the greatest city
Amsterdam is one of, if not the greatest city in the world to visit. It is safe. It is clean. It is beautiful. Transport is cheap, effective, and reliable. There are loads of tourist attractions and plenty of accommodation. Traditionally, Amsterdam never had a great selection of eateries, but that has improved over the years.

Great place to visit with friends, not so great to visit with your family
The city is great if you're hanging out with friends. Great nightlife, food and hangouts. When you visit with your family it is not that great to see the city very dirty, smell the weed everywhere and see all the souvenir shops selling weed realted merchandise and dirty trinkets (wiener shaped bottle openers etc.) I guess if you set your expectations right you'll love the city, otherwise for a family vacation I'd rather go somewhere else

Amazing Amsterdam, brilliant hotel
From amazing sites, the culture and just breathtaking city life. Easy to get too, with bikes available at the hotel, with bud, train and ferry services. With all the hustle bustle you have to try the food, accompanied with the views of the city.I Recommend a canal tour of the city as you get to soak in all the culture and learn about the history of the city. Also recommend the museums as they have a lot of interesting stuff which will Amaze you to learn. Amsterdam would not be Amsterdam without the cafe and the working girls in the window, you will not miss them as they are on every corner and every ally, although not for us its available for those adventurous travellers.

Cultural experience
In 2 days, we did 4 activities, 3 of which were cultural. It was great to experience such a vast variety of culture while also experiencing the Dutch lifestyle. Easy city to get around in. Many things to do in a beautiful city.
Esther, . Amsterdam (Holanda Septentrional)
One of the must-see cities of northern Europe
We love Amsterdam for its historical and cultural significance: its canal network; its museums and galleries (Eg the Van Gogh museum, the Rijksmuseum, and lesser known venues such as Foam specialising in photography and in the centre), the Nieuwe Kerk which is of interest in itself and hosts a range of world-class exhibitions including the annual World Press Photography exhibition. Should you tire of the shops, bars, cafés and entertainment in the Amsterdam, it's only a short hop to other cities such as Delft, The Hague, Leiden, and Rotterdam.

Beautiful
Really nice to visit the canals and the area red light district and all around it. Boat tour is a must for first time visitors and i recommend Argentinos for eating dinner they have great food.
