Lights of North and South

The largest city in the Netherlands was once a small fishing village near a dam at the mouth of the Amstel River. The Golden Age brought great wealth to the city; it was during this time that the canal belt was constructed and wealthy merchants built their homes. The canals were dug for land drainage and as transport routes, with the excavated earth used to elevate the canal sides for strength and height,forming the foundation on which the houses were built. Amsterdam’s eventful past has left behind a rich legacy of monuments and treasures. Be prepared to be amazed by this lively and one-of-a-kind city. There’s far too much to see in Amsterdam to list it all, but here’s a brief selection: Dam Square, Westerkerk, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, Vondelpark, the Red Light District, the Jordaan neighborhood, shops, terraces, and nightlife.
