Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities in Europe, and when I had the opportunity to spend the first three days of my vacation anywhere, I chose to come here. I'd been to Amsterdam before, twice on school trips, but never on my own, and I was excited at the prospect of seeing the beautiful city in more of its entirety. I wasn't disappointed.
There are so many things about Amsterdam that I love, the architecture, the scenery, the people, the openness and the quaintness of it all, and of course the canals. Here are some photos and comments on this wonderful Dutch city that you should surely visit at least once in your lifetime. Check it out...
Amsterdam is a small enough city to navigate (though admittedly I did get lost on more than one occasion, lol.) The one thing to remember is that Amsterdam Centraal, the main train station in the city, is pretty much central to everything. Whenever I did get lost, all I had to do was look for signs that pointed to the beautiful edifice at the center of it all and I could easily find where I wanted to go.
Architecture
The city of Amsterdam and The Netherlands in general is famous for its architecture, and there are plenty of beautiful edifices throughout the city. The Dutch style is very uniquely geometric, and very pleasing to the eye. Here are some examples:
This style of architecture is not the only style found in this beautiful city. There are plenty of other beautiful buildings and sites all around town that give you the feel of being in a European city. Check out these pictures:
Rembrandt Square
Well I'm realizing that Amsterdam is too special a city to cover in just one post, so I'm going to leave it here for now. Stay tuned for many more beautiful photos and commentary on this wonderful place...
