The most popular destination for visitors to the Netherlands, Amsterdam has a much more intimate character than most great European cities.

This is best reflected in the narrow, bustling streets of the old town, where much of the population still goes about its business. The city is famed for its centuries-old canals, and one of the nicest ways of getting to know the place is indeed on the water, on one of the many canal boats. Historic churches and towers rise above fine patrician houses and warehouses with their distinctive gables and brick facades. These are the enduring legacy of Amsterdam's 17th century Golden Age, when the city emerged as a major trading metropolis.
