Amsterdam - Something for Everyone

by Rachael71 - last update: Aug 12, 2004

Bicycles and canals - Amsterdam
Amsterdam is the perfect city for a short break, no matter what your interests are. If you are interested in art and culture, history and architecture, shopping and eating or drinking and smoking, you will find something that will meet your needs. I've been to Amsterdam a few times and still haven't seen all the things I want to - the Rijksmuseum and the Heineken Brewery will have to wait for another visit, and maybe next time I will pluck up the courage to rent a bicycle and explore areas like the Jordaan in more depth. I'll definitely be going back some day - I just hope that it doesn't rain as much next time as it did on my last visit!

 It's been ages since I had a peek of Amsterdam. 'been contemplating to visit it one of these days. Thanks for the tips! Am curious about the hotel and had always been my dream to go to Vincent's (Van Gogh) museum. Cheers!

 Thanks for the rijsttafel recommendation. Over here in asia, it's called 'tok panjang' or long table.

 Sorry to hear that we (cyclists) got on your nerves when you were in Amsterdam. But I notice you also wrote: "maybe next time I will pluck up the courage to rent a bicycle" -- yes, that's what I suggest. It's a healthy & exhilarating way to see the city!
