Amsterdam is an attractive, tourist-friendly destination that hosts over 5 million visitors a year.
Interlaced with many canals, Amsterdam offers a festive atmosphere, interesting places to visit, great beer, lots of entertainment and number of popular nightclubs. The city is a haven for good food, good fun and its unique cultural environment attracts numerous travelers, but especially twenty-somethings from around the world.
Amsterdam is a city with an edge to it. It mixes the old with the new, Calvinism with the sexual revolution, conservatism with laissez-faire and yet it retains a practicality that is the hallmark of Dutch society. Many travelers passing through Amsterdam's airport on the way to other destinations take the opportunity to spend a day or two in the town's festive atmosphere.
The common complaint about Amsterdam is that – "It's too much fun – I had to leave…!"
