    Amsterdam

    Amsterdam is the capital city of the Netherlands. When one thinks of Amsterdam, so many things come to mind: canals, bicycles, marijuana, and the red light district to name a few. But there is so much more to this city that it’s impossible to visit it all in one trip.

    Located all around Amsterdam you will find canals. Besides getting around the city via a car or bicycle, many people travel the waterways to get around town. There are also many who live on house boats found around the city.

    Synonymous with tulips in the Netherlands are windmills. You’ll find them located outside of Amsterdam as well as further out in the countryside. Many of the windmills today are used as museums or beer and/or cheese bars.
