"Amsterdam" Amsterdam by MATIM


Amsterdam Travel Guide: 12,430 reviews and 20,145 photos

Amsterdam is the economic and cultural hub of the country.
This city lies at the heart of an important industrial region and is, after Rotterdam, the country's most important port.
The streets themselves are lined with gems of dutch architecture. And from a boat at the many canals you have a super view at the tall gabled houses and graceful bridges.

    A slow ride up the canal sounds like it would be wonderful--such pretty sights!
