Hello, friends!

A couple of my sister’s friends are going to spend a weekend in Amsterdam and I have been asked to help them with some information about the city and its places of interest. As I don’t know Amsterdam very well, my husband’s sister added her instructions as well. Thanks to Joanne for her help!

I suppose that beforehand planning is required if you want to get the most out of your weekend trip to Amsterdam as the city offers so much to see and experience. Booking your Amsterdam hotel or any other kind of Amsterdam accommodation in advance will prevent you from disappointments. A nice hotel room which meets your requirements and needs would be a good starting point for exploring the city. And doesn’t matter whether it would be a cheap Amsterdam hotel or a luxurious apartment in a 5-star Amsterdam hotel (the choice depends on your preferences and the thickness of your wallet), you just need a place to rest and sleep after an interesting but tiring day in the capital.

And now, when you decided where to stay in Amsterdam, its time to think about the way you are going to travel around the city. Here is a helpful hint to make your city exploration cheaper and easier – rent a bike. Bike rentals will allow you to save money on taxi fare and prevent from waiting in traffic jams or taking crowded buses. Many locals prefer biking, because it is a quick and healthy way of getting around the city.

I will continue later on…
