Amsterdam Travel Guide - Welcome to the beautiful city of Amsterdam, Holland. You will come to love the city of Amsterdam just as so many others before you have. It is also one of the most historical city centres in the entire world. Almost everyone in the city speaks English or German as a second language, although the primary language is Dutch. There are no hills in this city and it is right by the sea.

Amsterdam City is known to be an area that lives by this 'live and let live' motto. It has also become the second most popular business city in the world, one down from the top and that is New York. That means there are lots of things to see and do. Great options for culture like museums and theatres for you to enjoy plenty of shows and learn much about the area. The nightlife is very exciting and you will want to take in as many places as you can, that is if you are not too tired from a day of sight seeing.

The Schiphol Airport is for Holland (and for Europe) a very important airport. This Airport is one of the largest in the world. It is for both tourists & business travelers the beginning step to enter Europe. One of the reasons is that many cities are easily reached from Amsterdam. Like to reach Brussels, which is only two hours by train and to reach Paris is only four hour away.

You will find the people of the city to be very proud and helpful. If you need to ask directions they will help you if they can. Also you will see why so many people call Amsterdam their home. They take pride in their city and they love the historical buildings that are all around the area. You will see some very fascinating mansions that were restored to their original state from the 18th and 19th centuries during your visit to the area. It is a city filled with history and great people for a wonderful time.
