The Netherlands - Amsterdam (Chapter) Lonely Planet
Amsterdam works its fairy-tale magic in many ways: via the gabled Golden Age buildings, the glinting boat-filled canals, and especially the cosy, centuries-old brown cafes, where candles burn low and beers froth high. Art admirers will be hard-pressed to ogle a more masterpiece-packed city. And hedonists? Amsterdam's risqué side beckons, from the Red Light District windows to the cannabis-selling coffeeshops.
Coverage includes: Sights, Eating, Drinking, Entertainment, Shopping, and Amsterdam for Children
