"Golden Age canals lined by tilting gabled buildings are the backdrop for Amsterdam's treasure-packed museums, vintage-filled shops and hyper-creative drinking, dining and design scenes." Lonely Planet

Amsterdam sits in the middle of The Netherland’s stretch of coastline, as the capital city, it has all the amenities you need to enjoy city living. However the major cities of Rotterdam and The Hague are both just under a 1.5 hour car journey away if you did fancy a change of scenery.

Amsterdam has more than 160 canals flowing throughout the city adding to its unique charm. However this also creates problems for the architecture, meaning that the city actually stands on over 11 million poles!
