The old trade hub of Europe and a world power back in the days. The city is amazing with almost all the buildings dating back to the 17th & 18th century around downtown. The 100 km of canals running through the whole city is very unique to this city. And not only that, there are so many great museums like Van Gogh and Rembrandt to name the biggest. What flocks even more tourists here is the totally legal weed and any sort of marihuana. Chip in a red-light district and legal prostitution too and you get Amsterdam. Downtown streets are constantly full of tourists. And so many yum yum munchies places too. Love this city!
First stop in downtown, Rijksmuseum (National museum). The que was sooooo long. Took about 2 hours before we were in the museum. And inside was too damn crowded to even be able to enjoy all the art. At least the "famous" art, the stuff that was not Rembrandt or Gogh was more quiet. Well, you can judge yourself from the pictures.

Canal cruise with lucky front seats
Bikes, loads and loads of bike. The cruise captain said the canals are 3 meters deep. 1 meter water, 1 meter dirt and 1 meter of bikes. I can see how that would be possible :)
