Highlights of Amsterdam
Amsterdam
Although Amsterdam is the capital of The Netherlands, Rotterdam is the hub for sea transportation. However when it comes to flowers and diamonds, the former is certainly the centre of commerce.
Besides its remarkable straight tall narrow houses, there is a network of 165 canals with 1281 bridges. Its glory years go back to the 17th century. At that time Amsterdam was the centre for finance and diamonds. In contrast to those times, this Dutch city hosts the headquarters of such high tech companies such as Uber, Netflix and Tesla. In addition companies such as Philips and ING are based here.
Nevertheless it is a party city. It draws many visitors from Europe and further afield.
Moreover if you want to get about Dutch style, take one of the many public bicycles. Cycling reigns king here. Otherwise try uber.
The Rijksmuseum is Holland’s most visited museum. It takes the visitor on a journey from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. In addition it houses masterpieces from Dutch artists such as Rembrandt, Frans Hals and Vermeer. Look out for Rembrandt’s “the Night Watch”. There is a new Asian Pavilion too.
Another museum that you may like is the Van Gogh Museum. The famous Dutch artist who cut off his own ear.
For a viewpoint of Amsterdam try A’dam Lookout. It hosts Europe’s highest swing. You actually swing over the edge of the tower some 100 metres above the ground. Certainly not for the faint-hearted. In addition there are indoor activities.
Another recommendation is Body Worlds. A museum that tells the story of our own bodies. Furthermore it focuses on happiness and how happiness impacts on your health. Designed by Gunther von Hagens it hosts in excess of 200 body specimens of real human bodies.
Albeit other attractions include Anne Frank’s House, the ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo and the Red Light District, to name a few. On the other hand you can always visit the flower market.
