Amsterdam: Beauty at Every Turn, Adventure at Every Sight

The Netherlands is more than just Amsterdam; Amsterdam is more than just the green leaf cafes and Red Light District.  Stick to the latter, and you are genuinely missing out on what makes this city great: canals, architecture, shopping, and FOOD! From Amsterdam Centraal Station, you can head to Haarlem or Zaanse Schans in less than 30 minutes or Rotterdam in over an hour. Grab a walkthrough bike and get going.
