A concentric ring of 17th-century canals lined with narrow gabled houses, Amsterdam is a city built for bicycles, with more bikes than people and cycle lanes that dominate traffic law. World-class museums like the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum sit within walking distance of coffeeshops and a red-light district that draws its own separate crowd of visitors. It is compact, cosmopolitan and unapologetically liberal, but also one of Europe's most overtouristed centres.

التنقلBicycles rule the city and renting one is the fastest way to get around; GVB trams, buses and the metro cover everything else; the historic centre is fully walkable; Schiphol Airport is a short direct train ride from Centraal Station.
أين تقيمJordaan is quiet, charming and canal-lined with independent boutiques; De Pijp is multicultural and buzzy, home to the Albert Cuyp street market; Oud-West feels more local and sits right by Vondelpark, away from the worst of the centre's crowds.
قد تتجنبها إذاAnyone hoping for a quiet city break — the centre and De Wallen get very crowded with stag parties and day-trippers, especially at weekends
