Amsterdam is a metropolitan with a lot of things to see or to do. You can go to one of the many and famous musea, see Amsterdam by (guided) bike tour, visit ‘De Jordaan’ a part in the centre of Amsterdam where the city started over 745 years ago, relax in one of the parks, have a beer or coffee at a terrace and look at the people cruisin’, visit a theatre or concert or just a small act in a small comedy-house, visit the Red Light District, smoke your joint in a coffee shop, listen to real Amsterdam music in one of the many ‘brown-cafe’s’ or just walk through Amsterdam and see his beautiful canals, Golden-century-houses, animals, people and all other things. Wow, so many things to see and do. And it’s just Amsterdam, ‘s worlds smallest capitol (well almost…) Amsterdam is thé place to visit!
But, please behave yourself, there a a lot of people (locals) living at this small area too!
