We have visited Amsterdam three times and each time this city amazed us. During our first holiday in Amsterdam we fell in love with the city. We have visited museums, famous Vondelpark and other parks, street markets, walked along beautiful canals, visited gay bars and famous brown cafes for a glass of beer.
In Amsterdam we ate oysters for the first time at a street market. While visiting a street market you can test a lot of sorts of cheese, bread and plenty tasty things which you can buy.
Walking the streets of Amsterdam you can see many models of bycicles. You can meet a parent riding a bycicle who's carrying two or more children sitting in special basket.
Of course, we have visited Homomonument made from granite. The Homomonument is situated just in front of Anne Frank House.
We also explored a lot Amsterdam-Noord where you can rarely meet a tourist and see real life of the city.
Must-eat thing is new herring which in not salted and served with pickled cucumber. Mmmm..tasty...and refreshing!
Our friend have given us two bycicles and it has made our discovering Amsterdam much easier and interesting.
There are ferries crossing IJ. Everybody can use them for free. So you can visit many hidden from tourists but very interesting places.
In 2014 we enjoyed two weeks of Amsterdam Gay Pride which is an annual event. And of course, Amsterdam Gay Parade on Canals was a really great culmination of Amsterdam Gay Pride 2014.
Amsterdam really deserves to be visited on holiday. Pack your stuff and go to Amsterdam !

Amsterdam is very beautiful. Once visited this city of love and freedom, you will never forget time you spent here. Amsterdam is also called sometimes A'dam, but not all locals love the city's nickname.
Amsterdam isn't a big megapolis, but you can find many interesting museums such as The Heineken Experience, Madame Tussauds Amsterdam, Anne Frank House, The Rijksmuseum that is a Dutch national museum dedicated to arts and history in Amsterdam.
Of course, you definitely should have a picnic in VondelPark or explore the city riding a rented bycicle.
Don't forget to visit one of famous brown pubs for a couple of a good beer.
People in Amsterdam are very friendly and speak English very well, so you if you're lost it will be easy to find a way back.
