Amsterdam is located on the water, which means there are plenty of water-related activities for you to take advantage of. You can arrange to take a boat ride with friends, and the seafood that you’ll taste at some of the country’s best restaurants is great. There is also a historic district in the country, so you’ll be able to take a walk along the classic cobblestone streets, and view the timeless crooked houses that line this part of the city. And even though the city is filled with hustle and bustle, you can find plenty of places to just relax and take in the view when you pull up a chair (or blanket) and take some time reading a good book along the water banks.

When you plan to stay a few weeks, then it is good to know that you can rent an Amsterdam apartment instead of having to stay at a busy hotel.
