Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, has been a rich cultural hub for centuries thanks to travelers and traders. Located in North Holland, the city is famous for its iconic canal system, distinctive row houses, and eclectic range of museums, including the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Rijksmuseum.
Great public transit options include buses and streetcars, but bicycles are the quintessential mode of transportation in Amsterdam. The 250 miles of bike paths and 8,000 bike parking spaces make exploring the city on two wheels easy and fun.
The city's medieval center, or "Centrum," showcases many points of interest synonymous with Amsterdam tourism, including canals, traditional architecture, and the famous nightlife of the Red Light District. If you're visiting during tulip season, stop by Keukenhof's botanical garden in mid-April for its vibrant collection of blooming flowers.
A variety of accommodations can be found across the city, from high-end hotels to cozy homestays and hostels. Schiphol—Amsterdam’s main airport—is just 9 miles southwest of the city and is connected by regular train services from the city center to the main terminal.

I find the main streets in the center of Amsterdam crowded and full of unsightly plastic and neon signage that takes away from the beauty of the buildings. There are fine shops, if you look for them, but also a lot of souvenir shops and fast-food chains - and there is a whiff of cannabis everywhere. Exploring the side streets is much nicer than the main drags and gives you the quintessential narrow-houses-along-a-canal experience traditionally associated with Amsterdam. The food is hit and miss - wise to follow recommendations from locals if you have such connections. The cultural life is excellent with fantastic museums and the world-renowned Concertgebauw.
Eveyithing in Amsterdam s great, exept public transport.

Eveyithing in Amsterdam s great, exept public transport. It is very complicated. Entering transport is through one door and leaving through another. If you have suitcases and it's rush hour, you have to start making your way to the exit right after boarding. In addition, system of scanning the cards when both enetring and leaving is a little bit feeble-minded. We had Amsterdam City Card on a mobile phone and it was very poorly scanned. A very pleasant pub for beer tasting: Proeflokaal Arendsnest, Herengracht 90
Amsterdam is a beautiful lived-in city.

Amsterdam is a beautiful lived-in city. I loved seeing so many families on their bicycles going about life in the city. It's a vibrant city full of beautiful architecture with lots of cafes and restaurants and of course the draw of the draw of the water in the gorgeous canals.

It is by far one of the most active cities, if the weather is good, its just amazing to walk around the city center. Especially for Muslim Travellers, you can now find, many options in food. I would personally suggest, There is a place called NUDE BURGER by the DAM Square, really good taste. You can pay for tram rides within the trams, and also, get a Tram ticket at the Centraal Station. Get your hotel room nearby the centraal, or the Dam square, it'll benefit you. :)
Beautiful city with amazing architecture.

Beautiful city with amazing architecture. We got lucky to visit it under the sun. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I recommend Kaap&Tein for dinner and great brunches at Moak Pancakes city centre. We didn't rent bikes a it was easy to walk around the city and the traffic by bike can get a little crazy. The canal cruise was lovely.
