Trips from Prague

Amsterdam - the city boasts much to enjoy, including famous canals, masterpieces of art, delicious cheese, coffee shops and a rich, cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, is situated on the Amstel River and is one of the most visited European cities. The city offers something for everyone so you simply will not be disappointed. If you love cycling, then Amsterdam is definitely the right place for you as Amsterdam is the most bike-friendly city in Europe, ensuring that you can easily ride and enjoy the sights without worrying about car traffic. For sightseeing head to Dam Square and admire the Royal Palace and other opulent administrative buildings. The square has witnessed many important historical events here, including coronations at the monumental New Church (Nieuwe Kerk); today you’re more likely to see a civic celebration or demonstration. Amsterdam is famous for its diamonds as well. In the 19th century the diamond trade merged with diamond cutting and polishing studios and the whole sector thrived until the beginning of the world economic crisis in 1929. So if you like glittering diamonds, you should visit Gassan Diamonds for a tour of their studio. The city is also packed with world class museums including the Rijksmuseum - the biggest museum in Holland, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Anne Frank Museum, where the Frank family hid from the Nazis and young Anne wrote her famous diary. And where does one find and buy delicious cheese? If you are looking for this delectable treat, head to the Albert Cuyp Market where you will find hundreds of stands selling not just cheese, but also fish, flowers, shoes and just about everything else.  After a busy day strolling along the canals, you can experience Amsterdam at night. Visit Leidseplein Square, one of the centers of nightlife and home to an array of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, theaters and cinemas. You’ll also find here the city’s two biggest clubs, Melkweg and Paradiso, playing music of all styles, ensuring that there is something for everyone. And don't forget to wander the famous Red Light District, situated between Dam Square and the New Market; the "lanes of love" here have become a huge tourist attraction. You can get to Amsterdam by plane, train (no direct connection), bus or car. The main airport is called Schiphol and the main train station is Amsterdam Central, where you will find a bus station adjacent to it.
