About
Amsterdam
Amsterdam is sometimes called "Venice of the North" because
of the many canals that run through the city. Many of these canals are
lined with trees and run under historic, architecturally dynamic bridges.
Located in the Netherlands (also known as Holland), which is west of
Germany and north of Belgium, Amsterdam is the country's biggest tourist
attraction for a myriad of reasons. Under Spanish rule in the 1500's
and occupied by Germany in World War II, Amsterdam is now a liberated
city in more ways then one. The notorious Red Light District (Walletjas)
is unlike most others in that it comes fully loaded with legal prostitution
booths and marijuana and hashish bars. Search

Amsterdam Tourism
Van
Gogh Museum: Finest and largest collection of over 700 of his paintings
and drawings, including "The Garden of St. Paul's Hospital"
painted at a mental asylum a year before his death.
Anne
Frank House: The house where Anne Frank hid from the Nazis from July
1942 to August 1944 in a dark attic and penned her diary. Emotionally
moving tour through the family house, still kept in its original condition.
Red
Light District: It really does exist, if you choose to go, please beware
of pickpockets and purse
snatchers and try to go avoid the adjacent unlit streets after dark.
The
Centrum: Old city center where most of the famous attractions are. Great
place to get a feel for the old Amsterdam.
Tucked between two historic areas, Jordaan (to the west) which has a
Greenwich Village feel and De Pijp (to the east) a diverse 19th century
neighborhood.
