Enjoy a Few Days in Amsterdam - Rich Cultural City of Holland

There are several ferry routes operating between the UK and Netherlands cutting across the North Sea, the most common routes being the Newcastle and Hull in the UK to Amsterdam and Rotterdam in Netherlands respectively. Last year I took a cheap ferry and went on a short break to Amsterdam which is said to be the cultural capital of Holland situated on the bank of two enclosing rivers the IJ bay and Amstel. When I heard about the history of the city I found it quite fascinating. Amsterdam, which is the current financial capital of Holland, was ruled by the community of anglers in the 12th century. Irrigation and water transport got greater importance in 17th century which is known as the Golden age of the country. You can still find traces of semicircular forms of canals in the old city of Amsterdam. What I enjoyed most were the ancient structures and buildings covering the city of Amsterdam. I was amazed to see the incredible architecture of the ancient era. Some of the major tourist attractions here are the old buildings and mansions of the early centuries, Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum, Beurs van berlage, and Shipping Museum etc. Here the Van Gogh Museum certainly deserves a special mention which exhibits the finest works of the famous artist Van Gogh displaying a collection of more than 200 paintings, 500 sketches and 700 letter writings of the artist. If you think the city of Amsterdam is loved by the tourists for its ancient and historical values only, you will certainly mistake as the city is full of entertainment for the tourists also. It is also favourite spot for the tourists who love to enjoy cultural activities, and night-life entertainment. There are innumerable entertainment clubs and other tourist spots in Amsterdam where you can freak out with your friends and family and enjoy food, drink, music etc. You can choose any of the options available from car, train, tram, metro or bus to travel according to your convenience and the city is well connected with an excellent network for motorways and A1, A2, A4, A8, A9 and A10 being the main roads of the Amsterdam.
