"Amsterdam: There is no other city like... " a Amsterdam Travel Page by davequ

Well, I'm near the end and I
....just ain't got the time . .

.....& I'm wasted and I...
can't find my way home.........

a short, high-level list...

Art; moody & genuine 17th-century architecture; atmosphere; peaceful canals; food, bicycles, history, chocolate; interesting conversation; shopping; lifestyles; trichomes; surprises:
Amsterdam has it all ....whatever you desire ...



Some of my Amsterdam faves:

The Rijksmuseum; The van Gogh; Dutch restaurants & cafes; cruisin' on a bike through the Vondelpark; Indonesian rice tables (rijstaffel); the brown cafes & peaceful canals; even the Red Light District;

If you can't find good times and fun in Amsterdam - good luck finding it anywhere.


If you are an Amsterdam veteran, for fun take a "virtual" walk at the link below:

Walking west on Gravenstraat towards Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal and into the Jordaan

The way old Dutch architecture folds into canals and houseboats.

Despite what people say about the traffic (it is true) I think it is fun, peaceful and beautiful to walk, or even better, explore leisurely on a bicycle.
I stay off the main drags on my bike and instead cycle the canal routes like Prinsengracht.

One of the little houses west of Prinsengracht in the Jordaan I passed on a morning walk.

Hope you enjoy the pages, and say hi (doei) if you like.
