WHAT TO DO IN AMSTERDAM

Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands, is a great place to spend time. It is in the west of the Netherlands. It’s easy to travel to this city because it has a big railway station and an airport – and it isn’t difficult to find a hotel. There’s a lot to see and do here. There are shops for people who enjoy shopping and restaurants with typical Dutch food, like stamppot or poffertjes. Or you can go to one of the museums, such as Van Gogh Museum. The best way to travel around Amsterdam is on a bike. There are 747,000 people here and over 600,000 bikes. After a busy day, a lot of visitors enjoy a cup of coffee at one of Amsterdam’s many koffiehuizen (coffee houses).
