You will be offered beautiful canals, bridges that cross the beautiful canals and bikes which are a regular part of the cityscape along with trams. There is the opportunity to experience new cultural sights constantly during your stay, charismatic architecture, historic buildings and shopping opportunities comparable to New York.
You can easily take a break from big city vibes by visiting Amsterdam's cosy parks such as Vondelpark for relaxation or Westerpark, which offers open-air theatre performances. When you're really going for authentic shopping, Amsterdam is the place for various markets.
