Amsterdam is a city you simply need to visit. You can of course get a feeling and an impression watching pictures such as the four pictures in this article, but the real atmosphere can only be felt as you actually visit the city.
Here you can see four pictures from Amsterdam. The first picture shows a traditional bicycle parking lot in Amsterdam, then comes a picture of a traditional Dutch windmill, one of the many canals in Amsterdam and then a picture of the most famous bridge in Amsterdam, the Magere Bridge.
