Amsterdam Hotels
Location, Climate
Amsterdam is a top tourist destination in the Netherlands and this vibrant city can be found in North Holland and on the riverbanks of IJ and Amstel. The climate in Amsterdam is mild and damp and the best time to go here is between months of April to May when the tulips are in full bloom and the weather is fine.
Brief History
The name of the city originated from “Aemstelledamme” which means “the dam across the Amstel”. This all started when a fisherman decided to build a dam at the riverbanks of Amstel during 1204 A.D. Its name was soon changed to Amsterdam and officially named a city in 1300.
Events, Landmarks, Activities
Amsterdam is famous for hosting a wide range of festivals from music and film to dance and art fests. Those who are into sci-fi, animation and horror flicks should definitely attend the annual Imagine: Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival held in April while a delightful treat is in store for all music fans during the Amsterdam Roots Festival which runs for five days in five locations. A must-see for all tourists is the Canal Ring, which was named a UNESCO World Heritage site and features The Museum of the Canals and Anne Frank House. The Old Centre also has many attractions including the Royal Palace, New Church, Red Light District and the Old Jewish Quarter.
Transportation
It is best to explore Amsterdam by foot since most of the attractions are located in one area. Another great way is by bicycle since there are lots of bike rental in the city.
