Amsterdam always welcomes you! Even if you just like to spend a weekend there or prefer a longer holiday with excursions in the area, it is worth a visit.
A lot of hotels, motels and cottages in and around Amsterdam give you the wished comfort for the stay. If you prefer the silence and the quietness, you better chose a lodge or a motel which is closely to Amsterdam, but in the suburbs. If you want to be touched by the magical nightlife from Amsterdams pubs, inns, red neighbourhood, midnight candlelight boat cruises or shopping all night, you should book your hotel directly in the center, closely to the Damrak or the train station.
If you are in Amsterdam, it is a must to take a boat cruise around the city on the small channels.
During the Queens Day on 1st May, Amsterdam becomes an orange city. Everyone tries to wear orange clothes, heads and flowers and those, who didn`t prepare for the orange day, have in every corner of the city the possibility to buy the necessary goods.
Madame Tussauds, the famous waxworks cabinet, which is located directly in the center of Amsterdam, should be visit as early as possible, because it is always overcrowded.
Typical dutch koffieshops and restaurants with dutch food and buiscuits are an absolutely must on your Holland trip.
