AMSTERDAMWith its characteristic canals - surrounded by narrow, low,crooked 17th century houses - Amsterdam is, without doubt,one of the most charming capital cities in Europe. Here, youdo your sightseeing trip by boat, the shops are small andoffer personal service, and the cafes often have tables on thepavement, facing the water. With a rich cultural life and widerange of entertainment, Amsterdam is a full-scale capital citywhich has managed to retain its small-town feel.

THE CITY #THECITY#
© Aleksandar Kolundzija
A look at the map of the city shows thatthere are almost as many canals in thecentre as there are streets. While moststreets look more like alleys - short andnarrow - the canals are much wider. Forthis reason, not many Amsterdamresidents drive a car in the city it is easierto travel round by boat or tram. Apart fromthis, bicycles are the most popular andpractical means of transport in Amsterdambut it is also an excellent city to explore byfoot.
Admittedly, you can easily get lost inAmsterdam, where the streets wind roundlike threads in a spider’s web. But it’s anice place to get lost in. Beautiful housefacades, tulip sellers, street musicians andcrowds of people is Amsterdam in anutshell. Wandering aimlessly between theCentral Station and Vondelpark isentertainment by itself. Anybody lookingfor more serious entertainment will neitherbe disappointed. In recent years, anincreasing number of modern restaurantsand bars have opened in areas such asJordaan and De Pijp, even thoughLeidseplein still has the densestconcentration of restaurants. Present-dayAmsterdam is more about cocktails inmodern lounges, but the national mentalityis extremely liberal and social. Here,everybody can be themselves and still fitin.

Amsterdamers goout early and retturn home late. Manyplaces have a cafe, bar, restaurant andnight club on different floors.
The dance clubs might feel too small forsomebody who is used to flashy clubs inNY, LA or London. But these clubs can bejust as entertaining - and completelycrazy! Hip, laid-back or sophisticated justchoose.
