Amsterdam Canal

Dubbed the "Venice of the North", Amsterdam's canals are not only attractive, but they're also a great way to travel around the city, enjoying the sights of this free-thinking European metropolis. There have hundreds of narrow streets and smaller calls fanned out from the center, crossing the semicircles and creating 90 islands and 1,280 bridges, all within the city limits. Canals are sealed from the North.the canals and the bridges that cross them are breathtakingly beautiful and you'll want to snap tons of pictures as you walk along beside them. 

The canals also serve as a home for those who choose to live on one of Amsterdam's many houseboats. You'll find many throughout the city and may even be able to arrange to rent one for your vacation.

The canals are also a thriving part of the tourist infrastructure of Amsterdam in that many locals operate tour boat businesses on the canals.

 The canals in Amsterdam also provide a popular place for recreational activities, from boating to parades. Many of the city's special events are held upon the waters of the canals. 

Getting around Amsterdam is a breeze with a hop-on hop-off Canal Bus Day Pass. The boats operate a regular service along Amsterdam's canals, following four routes: the Green Line, Red Line, Blue Line and Orange Line. While you cruise, an on-board commentary provides interesting information about Amsterdam.

Bikes

If you haven’t been drinking, and you know how to cycle, there’s no better way to explore the city of Amsterdam than by bike. Amsterdam is most famous for being the city of a million bikes. It also happens to be home to plenty of flat, quiet streets that are perfect to peddle them down.

Anne Frank Hius

Anna Frank House 

The Anne Frank House is an independent organisation entrusted with the care of the Secret Annexe, the place where Anne Frank went into hiding during World War II and where she wrote her diary. It brings her life story to the attention of people all over the world to encourage them to reflect on the dangers of anti-Semitism, racism and discrimination and the importance of freedom, equal rights and democracy.

Anna Diaries

Today, visitors can tour the Secret Annex, left in its original condition (as much as possible). In addition to the historic rooms, guests to the Anne Frank House will also find additional exhibits, many profiling the importance of freedom and democracy.

A facsimile of Anne's famous diary is also on display as well as numerous photographs, official documents, letters, postcards, books and possessions from the Frank family and the other people in hiding. The museum continues to enlarge the collection whenever possible.

Inside Anna Frank House

Hidden Space Behind Moveable Bookcase 

Though the total amount of floor space in the inhabited rooms came to only about 500 square feet it was very big compared to other hiding places they had heard about. They remained hidden here for two years and one month until they were anonymously reported to the Nazi authorities, and tragically deported to their deaths in concentration camps. Many visitors are intrigued at how the space was hidden behind a moveable bookcase.

The Nearby Countryside

 Should you find yourself getting a little tired of the hectic nature of inner city Amsterdam, you’re likely to appreciate the stunning countryside that’s less than twenty minutes away by train.

The Dutch countryside is just as flat and windmill packed as the stereotypes would have you believe. Provided you visit during the Spring, it’s also home to some of the worlds most colorful Tulip fields.
