Amsterdam is known for

Amsterdam, a famous city and port, is the capital of the Netherlands (located in the Northwestern part of Europe).

Sloten, is the oldest part of Amsterdam, dating as old as the 9th century. The most popular part is Amsterdam Centrum. Centrum is a tightly woven network of canals. These canals actually overlap tiny neighborhoods, that each have their own history and unique vibe. Within walking distance, over cobbled streets, you'll find most of Amsterdam's attractions, restaurants, and bars. If you get lost, or need help with directions, ask a local. You'd be surprised at how many of them whom speak Dutch, also know how to speak English. The most stayed at accommodations in Amsterdam include- the Pestana Amsterdam Riverside, the NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace, and the Conservatorium Hotel, which are all a little pricy. Let's see what there is to do on your vacation to Amsterdam...
