Many individuals and couples plan a trip to Amsterdam to see what everyone is talking about. After all, there are over 60 museums to explore, wonderful green spaces in the form of beautiful parks, old and elegant churches, and then there is the food, the coffee and of course, the marijuana.
There are a few different Dubai to Amsterdam packages that will allow you and your travel companions to experience all there is to do in this Dutch capital city. Here is what you need to know about your first visit to Amsterdam.
If you are offended by marijuana, then do not go into the coffee shops. Many of the traditional cafes and restaurants do not offer the herb, and you can order your coffee in these establishments.
Many of the people who visit Amsterdam do so because marijuana is a legal enterprise. It is illegal to smoke pot on the streets and in certain areas, but the coffee shops have their own rules and regulations regarding purchasing and smoking marijuana.
There are a number of museums that you will want to visit when staying in Amsterdam. There are two museums that you cannot miss, The Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum. The lines may be long to see each of these extraordinary collections of real-life historical persons, but it is worth the wait.
Other places of interest to history buffs include The Jewish Historical Museum, The Rembrandt House Museum, and The Resistance Museum. Each has their own hours of operation and guidelines for tours.
You can take a taxi or public transportation, but one of the best ways to enjoy the entire city is through the old canals. There is even a Canal-Bus which you can hop on and off similar to a regular street bus.
The canals are part of the UNESCO World Heritage site and therefore is well cared for. There are many different options for sailing around the city on the canals besides the boat-bus.
There are many different types of foods in Amsterdam, and something everyone must try is the rice table or rijsttafel. This is one of the Indonesian specialty dishes available in many areas of the city. There are also many vendors that create delicious croquettes or kroketten.
There are also several street vendors that offer snack style foods like waffles, filled with syrup and caramel called stroopwafels. There is also a raw herring and diced onions, named haring as well as fries covered in mayonnaise, or frites.
You can wash down the delicious foods with wonderful beers like Heineken or try a Dutch gin. You can tour the Heineken factory with the Heineken Experience which includes tasting and a canal ride.
Amsterdam is an adult experience, although you will find many families exploring the museums, eating in the streets and exploring the floating flower market. There is never a bad time to visit Amsterdam, the spring, summer and the other seasons are always calm and inviting for everyone.
