Amsterdam is known world wide for its romantic canals and its imposing architecture of the 17th century. Amsterdam is the heart of Holland and is set to get anyone's blood pumping.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange in the world. Fascinating stuff. If that isn't what is going to get your "blood pumping" then a few of Amsterdam's main attractions might. Amsterdam is a party town for all 365 days if the year and even though it is a historical city, the modern Amsterdam easily co-exists with its more historical aspects. The people who live within Amsterdam are very proud of their city and its exquisite city centre; the historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank's House and of course, Amsterdam's famous red-light district. Don't be afraid to visit the red light district, if you aren't interested in what it is famous for you can take a stroll down and the working girls and guys will be as nice as pie to you and won't hassle you (however they may want a chat with someone who isn't only interested in them for *cough cough* one thing.)
Something you must try if you haven't already ... Amsterdam mayonnaise and chips. Trust me, you haven't tasted anything like it before! it is UNREAL!
