Amsterdam, a beautiful city with an understated confidence about it — a city that knows it’s great, but doesn’t have to shout it from the historical rooftops. It is the capital and the principal commercial centre of the Netherlands. 

To the scores of tourists who visit each year, Amsterdam is known for its historical attractions, collections of great art, and the distinctive colour of its old sections, which have been so well preserved.

Bicycles are a part of their culture. Anyone who has ever tried to make their way through the centre of Amsterdam in a car knows it – the city is owned by cyclists. They hurry in swarms through the streets, unbothered by traffic rules, taking precedence whenever they want, rendering motorists powerless by their sheer numbers. It’s also a place where prostitution is not only legal but flaunted. They spend Euro here & the language spoken is Dutch, which is quite close to English & German language.
