Amsterdam Sightseeing Tours and Events
Amsterdam is one of the world's best hangouts, a canny blend of old and new: radical squatter art installations hang off 17th-century eaves; BMWs give way to bicycles; and triple-strength monk-made beer is drunk in gleaming, minimalist cafes.
 
The city seems to thrive on its mix and, despite hordes of tourists, still manages to feel quintessentially Dutch. The old crooked houses, the cobbled streets, the tree-lined canals and the generous parks all contribute to the atmosphere. Amsterdam Airport Private Arrival Transfer
Professional, competent and reliable. From the moment you arrive this service will provide a comfortable and efficient transfer from the Schiphol Airport to your Amsterdam hotel. The chauffeurs are carefully selected for their professionalism, knowledge and discretion.

Amsterdam

is one of the greatest small cities in the world. From its canals to world-famous museums and historical sights, Amsterdam is one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in Europe.

Amsterdam is a city of tolerance and diversity. It has all the advantages of a big city: culture, history, entertainment, international restaurants, good transport - but is relatively small, quiet, and largely thanks to its canals, has a little road traffic. In Amsterdam your destination is never far away.

Amsterdam Bars & Cocktail Lounges

The Venice of the North, Amsterdam's attractions can read like a heady cocktail in honour of a rock'n'roll lifestyle. Besides the famed red-light areas where window-shopping takes on a whole new meaning and the coffee bars that are more popular for their other wares, Amsterdam is also home to hundreds of great bars and clubs. Style bars, cocktail bars, bistros, restaurants and casinos - a night out in Leidseplein or Rembrandtplein will lead you into the small hours. Oh, and if you want to rest your liver, don't forget to visit the Van Gogh museum. more ....

Orientation

Amsterdam's centre is enjoyably small-scale, though finding your way around the canal belt can be confusing. The old city is contained within the ring of concentric canals dating from the 17th century that form the crescent-shaped canal belt bordered by the Singelgracht. Think of it as half a bicycle wheel: the medieval city around Centraal Station is the hub, and several main roads, minor canals and the Amstel River function as spokes.
Dam Square, five minutes' walk south of the station, is the centre of town, but there are several other happening 'centres', all within walking distance: Leidseplein, with much of the city's cultural life and nightlife, Rembrandtplein (nightlife), Spui ('intellectual' life) and Museumplein (culture) are just some of the focal points that make the city a joy to explore on foot or by bicycle.
Centraal Station, the central train and bus station, lies on the south bank of the IJ. The airport at Schiphol is 18km (11mi) southwest of the city centre.

Sail Amsterdam
Every five years, enormous ships come to Amsterdam and form a display of tall sail ships from all over the world. Docked on the quays are over twenty so-called tall ships, and it is not only possible to walk by all of them, most of them can be visited as well. more

Amsterdam tourist attractions and sights
