Amsterdam: A very interesting city

by JackM2006 - last update: Dec 27, 2007

St. Nicolaaskerk

St. Nicolaaskerk
All that you might have read regarding the liberal nature of Amsterdam is quite correct. I went during the gay parade and the colors, sights, sounds and atmosphere of the city was both enchanting and beautiful to behold.
A boat house in the Jordaan area

A decorative boat house

Amsterdam cannot be mentioned without references to its canals and boat houses. This rather large boat house was docked in the area of town called the Jordaan. I must say that I really liked this part of Amsterdam. To me it was one of the more eclectic parts of the city.

A cafe along Prinsenstraat

Not to be confused with a coffee shop, this is a regular cafe along one of the main streets of the Jordaan.

Pros:" Very liberal city with much to offer the tourists "
Cons:" You have to be careful of what you buy from street hawkers (drugs) "
In A Nutshell:" All it's tauted to be and more "
