Amsterdam is a mesmerizing, characterful and tolerant city latticed with 17th century canals, humming with bicycles and studded with towering old town houses and wonderful museums. This city, Netherlands' capital, walks a delicate line between conservative culture and liberally crazed chaos.
This is a superb strolling or biking city with endless scenic canal views and canal boats to ease the pain when the cobbles have worn your shoes through.

And typically small, comfortable houseboats in the city centre.

Amsterdam must-sees are: The Jordaan district for real, tourist-free, Dutch living with lovely canals, good restaurants, entertaining little shops and excellent flea market [at Looiersgracht]; Begijnhof [a square of very old and beautiful buildings], Oude Kerk [a stunning 14thC church in the red light district], Koninklijk Paleis [a royal palace you can wander]; the Rijksmuseum or Van Gogh museums for the best of Dutch art; the WWII shocker Anne Frank Huis.
And don't forget to visit the bizarre red light district and coffee shops which can be desperately tacky but provide a unique and fascinating experience in Europe.
