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.
Amsterdamis 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 LoungesThe 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 .... OrientationAmsterdam'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.
