Amsterdam; more than meets the eye!

Over 7 million art and party lovers from all over Europe and the world flock to this so called "sin city" every year to delight in its unique mixture of old-world charm and modern day cosmopolitan flare. Amsterdam is also known for its red light district and the coffee shops that are sprinkled throughout the city. The coffee shops legally sell cannabis and are all strictly regulated and taxed. However, there is much more to this city than initial perceptions would suggest…
Amsterdam is a safe place that takes pride in its cultural advancements and intellectual history. In fact the city that was home to Vincent Van Gogh is well regarded for several world class museums, galleries and symphonies such as The Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandt House, The Concertgebouworkest (Amsterdam’s world class symphony orchestra) and the Anne Frank House, which sees over 1 million visitors a year! In Holland it is governmental policy for Amsterdam to continue with their cultural development in order to continue in leading Dutch society; so you know you will see the best in European theatre, live concerts and shows, as well as beautiful art throughout the city.

Amsterdam isn’t exactly built for cars, so you will see few of them; it is a great city to experience on foot or by bike. Countless bridges over pretty canals and gentle rivers as well as countless intimate alleyways make it the perfect setting for romance and sight seeing.
