Amsterdam is an unusual city

Amsterdam is an unusual city in that it has all the advantages of a big city – culture, history, food, entertainment, good transport – with relatively few of the disadvantages: it is physically small, beautiful, relatively quiet, and largely thanks to the canals, has relatively little traffic.

If you are a resident of Netherland, one of the places that you can certainly look forward to visit soon if you have not been there as yet is Amsterdam. This place is undoubtedly the most popular tourist destination in the country. Not only that, it also enjoys a steady flow of foreign tourists throughout the year on a consistent basis which is a clear indication of its worldwide recognition as a prospective tourist attraction spot.

Typical weather ranges from a little around freezing in the depths of winter, though usually with little snow, to typically pleasant sunny days of 20° to 25° Celsius in the summer. Spring and autumn are pleasant, but can be wet (100+ mm of rain per month). In the summer months there are typically 200 hours of sunshine a month, dropping to between 50 and 100 in the winter.

Apart from this, you can take a trip to the local City Center which is a shopper’s paradise with an array of fun packed activities and entertainment facilities. Other than these, you should also use this opportunity to visit the ever popular Anne Frank’s House and Van Gough’s Museum without which your tour is bound to remain unfinished.
