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.
The Insight FlexiMap of Amsterdam is a great travel addition. Here
is an innovative laminated folding map that marries durability and
convenience with accuracy, utility, and readability.
Produced with state-of-the-art technology, FlexiMaps feature detailed
