It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its wide system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. The top museums to visit are the Rijks museum, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and an area for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.TransportationTravelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world. This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of the city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, which has many connecting routes. Its typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center. Cycling is incredibly popular here, and its easy to find cheap bike rentals around the town. Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and its a good choice to explore the city on foot.Money-saving Tips Look for accommodations in Amsterdams South District where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center. Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money Instead of hiring a tour guide, jump onto a canal boat. Theyre inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.Check at http:/wmv. save70. com to view price comparisons for flights, hotels, and rental cars before you book.
