Amsterdam
Amsterdam, the capital of Netherlands, has some spectacular places to visit.
As you visit the whole city, you will notice the Begijnhof which is a narrow passageway leading to a wonderful quiet garden. It is surrounded by a few old houses, exactly in the heart of the Amsterdam city. The oldest one is to the no. 34. Old ladies have replaced the celibate Béguine nuns. The entrance on Spui is just a few minutes from the commercial street Kalverstraat. If you don’t find it since the first time, it is indicated by a carved sign. What’s good is that there is no fee for entrance.
Good to be mentioned and also visited is the Oude Kerk church, which is an old protestant one. There are little houses to every side. Itwas built in a Gothic-renaissance style. The bell tower was supposed to be used by sailors when they wanted to get their bearings.
After visiting all these, you might need a break. Go to the Amsterdam Brown Café and feel free to enjoy a simple meal, a coffee, juice or beer in one of the oldest caffes in the city. Even if too crowded, this place offers a unique atmosphere and fortunately low prices.
Amsterdam Hotels are from plenty. For example The Piet Hein Hotel is situated near a green oasis of the Vondelpark. Here you have a lounge bar at the outside terrace and also in the loveliest garden you’ve ever seen. There are smoking rooms as well as non smoking, so that you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Another choice is the NH Krasnapolsky Hotel which combines the rich history with the luxury today. In this way, no tourists will need to complain whether they want something simple or sofisticated. Also the facilities are approximately the same: a conference centre, amazing restaurants and wonderful rooms.
Also the Estheréa hotel is a great combination between a central location, personal service and priceless decorations. Those who host the hotel are ready to give you a great welcome.
