Weekend in Amsterdam
Posted by Chris in Travel
Last weekend we were lucky enough to get over to Amsterdam for 3 days. Just a 2 hour 10 minute flight from Valencia to Amsterdam. Amsterdam is a lovely city with nice architecture, canals though out the city, plenty of history and quite a few museums to look at. The weather wasn’t too bad. It did rain a bit on our last day there. We did the touristy things one does. A canal boat tour, the Vincent van Gogh museum, the main art museum of Amsterdam with many paintings of Rembrandt etc, Madam Tussauds wax museum and a general look around the city. And of course a walk through the interesting red light district.
Bikes are everywhere in Amsterdam!
Not much traffic in Amsterdam, because everyone there goes about there ways in bicycle. You have to be careful as a few times we were almost run down. The bikes seem to have the right of way over pedestrians. Next to the train station there is even a bike parking lot. With 10,000 or more bikes its crazy. And there all the old style bikes with only one gear normally.
More photos of Amsterdam are in the Photo Album.
thanx for visiting.
