| ABOUT AMSTERDAM |
Amsterdam,
the Netherlands' capital, is a place where you can immerse yourself
in history, in art, in the head of a beer or a self-rolled smokestack.
The city is a canny blend of old and new: radical squatter art installations
hang off 17th-century eaves, BMWs give way to bicycles and triple
strength monk-made beer is served in steel and glass 'grand caf?s'.
Amsterdam combines a huge case of big city exuberance with small-town
manageability; it doesn't take much more than chaining your bike to
a bridge to feel like you've got a handle on the place.Amsterdam is
a cosmopolitan cauldron that has been enticing migrants and non-conformists
for decades.
It's
a thriving city, and one of the hardest for travellers to leave, going
on the number of expats trying to bike around like locals. The 17th-
and 18th-century architecture, the fleets of bicycles, the tree-lined
canals and scattered parks all contribute to the mood of the city.
