Amsterdam is a vibrant and open city of canals, crafts and arts, whose history dates back to the Golden Age of Dutch trade. Here are closely intertwined ancient houses on the embankments, the grandeur of architecture of the XVII century and modern creative energy. The atmosphere of the city is both cozy and dynamic: walks along the canals alternate with busy markets and quiet parks, and each street keeps its own small history.
The man-made sights of Amsterdam amaze with diversity: the Rijksmuseum State Museum with masterpieces of Dutch masters, the Royal Palace and Dam Square, the oldest Aude Kirk and Wester Kirk, the Monument to the Dam and the legendary Weeping Tower. Shopping streets and centers - Kalverstraat, Bijenkorf, Magna Plaza and cozy galleries like Metz & Co - give shopping and architectural finds. The city’s markets, including Albert Cuyp, Dappermarkt, Waterlooplein and the floating flower market Bloemenmarkt, create a unique flavor, and monuments and ancient towers, a coin tower and a monument to Queen Wilhelmina complement the cityscape.
The natural and green corners around and within the city are no less impressive: Vondela Park - a light breath in the center, the botanical garden of 1682 with rare collections, the Keikenhof flower park and the famous Appeltern Gardens with author's landscapes. The Zaanse Schans mill park and the surrounding landscapes with windmills bring to the atmosphere of traditional Holland, and the canals and embankments themselves are natural and town-planning attractions, ideal for walking, cycling and photo shoots.
