Amsterdam is a vibrant and fun city, perfect for a holiday or even a short break to get rid of some of your stress and let you have a really fun time. There is something for everyone in Amsterdam, and it is easy to get to with its international airport being only 15 kilometres away from the city and there is a direct train which takes you right into the city centre from the airport, so it couldn’t be easier to get to your Amsterdam hotel ready for your city break or vacation.

Once there, you may be ready to sample Amsterdam’s diverse and unique culture. You could try one of the city’s celebrated brown cafes, rather like a British pub with the beautiful brown panelling which gives them the name, providing their unique ambience where you can sit and enjoy a beer by candlelight. The traditional beer is Heineken of course, but the white beers are gaining in popularity and provide something different. For somewhere livelier the nightlife in Amsterdam is justifiably famous for being energetic and varied. The two best known nightlife areas are the Leidseplein and the Rembrandtplein and both of these have lots of bars and clubs such as the Sugar Factory and the Power Zone which are easily reached from your Amsterdam hotel.

For a meal there are many and varied places to eat, from expensive high budget restaurants to reasonably priced meals at supermarket chains, these are all available. Indonesian restaurants are common, and are good value for money. Many of these can be found in the area of Amsterdam colloquially known as Chinatown, and are usually of excellent quality. You can also find Chinese, Japanese and Thai cuisine in this area – a culinary delight. Here you can find falafel bars where you will be given all the salad you can eat with your meal, making them superb value. Also worth tasting, if you do not want to eat at your Amsterdam hotel, is Surinamese food, which is a unique tasting food which is a blend of many cultures, as befits this cosmopolitan European city.

During the day, after breakfasting at your Amsterdam hotel, there is lots to do in this beautiful city. Why not take a relaxing cruise down the canal to see the sights from the water? You can have a guided tour or just cruise by yourself. You can even hire a gondola! Or if you prefer to stay on land to see the sights, there is no better way to travel round Amsterdam than by bicycle. The City centre is very flat; cars are discouraged, so it is safe and easy to get around on a bike to see the museums, for example, such as some fine examples of Rembrandt’s art.
