Amsterdam. From one of this word it breathes a cool, a smell of tulips and oil paints. Determine the purpose of your trip - this is the first priority for the tourist. Because this city is many-sided, and to see all its sights - the task is not easy. Let's try to decompose into a possible journey.
Amsterdam Cathedral: Oude Kerk is the oldest church in Amsterdam. At the church cemetery, Rembrandt's wife is buried here. Westerkerk: in addition to being the tallest building in the city, here is the grave of Rembrandt himself. Begijnhof - one of the most famous sights of Amsterdam. Until now, the date of its creation is unknown. The first mention dates back to 1346, and already then nuns lived there. On the walls there are preserved tablets with biblical commandments.
Until now, the homes of Begijnhof are home to single women.
Yes, in Amsterdam, the houses themselves are a landmark. Look closely - they are crooked! And this is not a daring idea of an architect, it's a natural creative. The land here is soft, and piles are used in the construction of houses, which are rotting over the years, and the buildings therefore sometimes acquire an even noticeable slope.
In addition to these unplanned distortions, every house has a well-grounded inclination - forward. No, not to amaze and frighten tourists, but for convenience when moving. Doors and stairs do not imply the comfortable lifting of large things.
Look closely - on the roof you can consider a hanging beam with a hook. It is they who are picked up by furniture new settlers.
Walking along the streets of Amsterdam, do not forget to look into the windows. Here it is not considered indecent. On the contrary, city dwellers do not hang curtains, so that it would be more convenient for passers-by to examine their dwelling.
Walking along the streets of Amsterdam, do not forget to look into the windows. Here it is not considered indecent. On the contrary, city dwellers do not hang curtains, so that it would be more convenient for passers-by to examine their dwelling. In the old days, it was believed that honest people have nothing to hide, but if you hide behind a rag - it means that you are unclean by the hand. Here and to this day, the exhibition of life in the window - one of the favorite pastimes of the Dutch.
Holland is the birthplace of tulips. In the 17th century one tulip bulb could buy a huge house, flowers were a kind of currency. In memory of this crazy time there was only a flower market. Look there! An armful of beautiful flowers will cost you 5 EUR, but this is not money for a fine mood.
You can visit the Red Light District alone, but an experienced guide knows a lot of interesting stories and facts, which then can be shared with friends. Fans of painting will enjoy the excursion to the Van Gogh Museum or Rembrandt House Museum.
