Amsterdam is a city with a dual personality. On one hand it is a gracious and formal cultural centre, on the other, one of the most offbeat metropolis’ in the world. There is a romance about its canals at night and a wealth of cultural heritage in its great art museums.
Amsterdam's museums are filled with some of the best art in the western world. There are the home-grown Old Masters and Van Gogh as well as an abundance of contemporary art. The attractive canals and gabled houses provide popular subject matter for budding artists.
One of the prettiest times in the city seems to be spring when the parks and window boxes are filled with a colourful array of flowers and the branches of trees are not yet in full leaf, giving plenty of view of the lovely gabled buildings. A lot of the city is easily covered on foot or for something different, via the canals which really give a different perspective of the city.

Thanks for helping me get (re-)oriented. I'll be in Amsterdam for a few days later this month - - but not on an organized tour (LOL).
Great page with amazing pictures! Thank you!
You may have missed the flower market, but I missed taking a canal tour & the diamond factories! You took beautiful pictures!
'Sea Palace ' lucky for you you escaped dutch cuisine...lol. Time to book me a hotel for a weekend again. It is an amazing city.
fantastic page.. keewee.one of my fav.places in Europe ^..^
Great tips and photos. Thanks!
WOW!! Excellent page containing very colorful and beautiful pictures.......stories and descriptions are very well done :-)
Very good info and great pics! The only thing I saw from Amsterdam was the airport... I had a short stopover here on my way from Austria to Korea .. but Amsterdam deserves an extra visit.
We were wandering aimlessly when we realized we were in the red light district. Our young kids thought it was VERY interesting. Ha ha....probably their favorite part of the trip.
I really liked your intro description of Amsterdam. We were there two weeks ago and had a great time. I'd love to have seen Volendam and Zaanse Schans too - maybe next time
