24 hours in Amsterdam –\u00a0The perfect day<\/h2>\n

Amsterdam is the cultural, financial and creative center of the Netherlands<\/h3>\n

Amsterdam commonly referred to as the Venice of the North, is the cultural, financial and creative center of the Netherlands. Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important trade ports in the northern hemisphere. Since then the city has developed an extensive history, with many of its historical buildings and structures still standing today. The city boasts over one hundred kilometers of iconic canals, which also happen to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. With an abundance of activities for locals and tourists alike, the city is bursting with hundreds of things to discover. This helpful guide will enable you to get the most out of it and explore the city of Amsterdam<\/a> like a local.<\/p>\n

One of the best ways to get around is by bicycle, the typical Dutch transport of choice. We highly recommend hopping on two wheels to get around and make the most of your Amsterdam experience.<\/p>\n
