Amsterdam Tourist Information • Posted: November 25, 2005

This travel and visitors guide to Amsterdam, Holland, is prepared by a handful of Amsterdam locals – not by paid professionals, tourist office officials, or any other agency.

We love this city and enjoy sharing our knowledge and enthusiasm with others. Amsterdam is truly the world’s most unique city; a thriving, world-class metropolis in pocket format.

We could easily fill this page with tourist-brochure prose describing what Amsterdam is all about. But Amsterdam is best experienced in person, and experience shows that the best way to enjoy this city is to simply wander around, browsing and sampling all that it has to offer. There is so much to see, do, taste and otherwise enjoy around every corner that you’ll soon find yourself adopting Amsterdam’s laid-back attitude.

That’s the same way we approach this web site. We’ve only just started, but as the site grows you’ll find that using DutchAmsterdam is much like wandering through Amsterdam itself: you’ll enjoy the sights, discover unique shops, decide to sample the food and drink at a local cafe or two, and happen upon lots of other things to see and do.

At the same time our aim is to provide basic, no-nonsense information about Amsterdam. Quick facts you can use in planning your stay. Like so:

Where to stay: hotels, youth hostels, bed and breakfast, campings…
Places to see (tourist attractions, museums, unique sights)
Where to shop (We’ll guide you to Amsterdam’s best-loved stores and boutiques)
Things to do and Tourist traps to avoid
Eating and Drinking (from ‘brown cafes’ and coffee shops to restaurants)
Things to do, and lots of other stuff, including:
Practical information about transportation, the weather, the money, safety, churches, and so on…

In preparing this web site we rely on our own experience as well as the input of friends, family members and acquaintances. We’d also love to hear from you.

See you in Amsterdam!
