Book your Amsterdam hotel reservations online and be prepared to visit a city that has many sides and a culture of its own. It is essentially a very safe city, but normal commonsense rules apply to your personal safety.

Amsterdam is a city famed for its canals, coffee shops, art galleries and museums. There is plenty to do and see in the City Centre, and on the outskirts there is even an indoor skiing facility!

A great way to get around and see the many museums is to buy an 'Iamsterdam' travel card. This gives you many benefits:-

FREE travel on public transport - FREE entry to 30 museums and galleries - Discounts of up to 25% in associated restaurants - FREE canal trip These can be purchased for ONE DAY TWO DAYS or THREE DAYS

Amsterdam public transport is excellent and you can travel around by train or tram, with regular services across the city. In every aspect,  Amsterdam is a 24 hour city with restaurants and bars that cater for everything and everyone.

The Wallen is also worth a walk round, preferably as a pair. In case you have not guessed, this is the famous Amsterdam Red Light District. Photographing the 'working girls' is forbidden, CCTV monitors the area but thieves and picpockets are about, so leave your wallets etc safe in your hotel!

Take one of the many tours available and see windmills and tulip fileds and get yourself a pair of 'handmade clogs' from one of the factories.
