Before I tell you about our holiday in\u00a0<\/span>Amsterdam<\/span><\/strong>, I would like to give you some tips about the city and the <\/span>Netherlands <\/span><\/em>in general: <\/span>Amsterdam<\/span><\/strong> is on the list of cities that are said to be visited only on a budget-in-true, the city is quite expensive, but there are places and activities that don’t cost anything.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

I recommend you to have a card with you because there are shops, parking lots or even tourist information centers where you pay exclusively by card.\u00a0<\/span>If you choose to go by public transport, you must scan the ticket both at the entrance and at the exit (tickets can be bought from the means of transport and cost \u20ac8\/day\/person).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

To visit the more famous tourist attractions (for example the\u00a0Rijksmuseum<\/em>, the\u00a0Anne Frank<\/a>\u00a0house or the\u00a0Heineken Experience<\/a>) it is convenient to purchase the tickets online and a few days before the visit.\u00a0This way you can get discounts and you no longer have to stand in line.\u00a0It would be best to make a plan with what you intend to visit, whether you stay for one day or more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The story of\u00a0<\/span>Amsterdam<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0begins in the 13th century when it was just a small fishing village, located behind a dike that protected it from the water of the Amstel<\/em> river.\u00a0<\/span>Although everyone saw Amsterdam<\/strong> as the capital of The<\/em> Netherlands<\/em>, it was not until 1983 that it officially became the capital.\u00a0With a population of 790,000 inhabitants, it is the largest city in the country and one of the most popular destinations in Europe<\/em>, receiving more than 5 million tourists annually.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a city with a rich architectural history that is reflected in the museums and ancient houses, the 1281 bridges and 165 canals that cross it, totaling more than 100 kilometers.\u00a0Speaking of canals, it is said that around 25,000 bicycles end up in Amsterdam<\/strong>‘s canals annually, of which only 8,000 are brought to the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the activities you should not miss when you arrive in Amsterdam<\/em> is a\u00a0boat ride<\/strong>\u00a0on the city’s canals.<\/span><\/p>\n
