This is my first trip to Europe, so I chose to take my family to the Netherlands and Belgium. The reason is that I heard that the Netherlands has very charming scenery and historical buildings, and Belgium is also a neighboring country, so I would like to visit it.
The attractions we visited include Dam Square and one of the attractions: the Royal Palace of Amsterdam. It was originally used as the city hall and a symbol of the glory of Amsterdam in the past. You can buy tickets to appreciate the low-key luxury of the Dutch. It will definitely be eye-opening and worthwhile. this trip.
If you still have time after visiting Dam Square and the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, you might as well take a walk in the East Canal District, which is the Red Light District and the Good Street area. This area is lively and has a completely different atmosphere from the West Canal District. You can experience the authentic Amsterdam common people's customs. .
A trip to the Canal District is the highlight of Amsterdam's itinerary. The prosperity and wealth of Amsterdam are fully reflected in the low-key but noble canal houses. The canal houses on the Gentlemen's Canal, Königsal Canal and Prinsengracht canal beside the urban stream represent the development process of the city. It is also the main reason why Amsterdam is listed as a World Cultural Heritage.
The Rijksmuseum (Rijksmuseum), located in the Museumplein outside Amsterdam's canal district, is one of my favorite museums, even more so than the Louvre in Paris, which is crowded with tourists. It also has some historical relics, such as Delft celadon and fine workmanship. model house, etc.
After visiting the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum next to it has the richest collection of Van Gogh paintings in the world, and the nearby Vondelpark is the largest park in Amsterdam.
Rotterdam (Rotterdam), located in the southwest of the Netherlands, is the second largest city in the Netherlands, the largest port, and the largest port in Europe. It is named after the dam on the bank of the Rotte River, which is similar to the origin of the name Amsterdam. Due to the fact that the current city of Rotterdam was completely destroyed by the Nazi Luftwaffe during World War II (mainly The German bombing of Rotterdam/Rotterdam Blitz in 1940), it no longer has the antique street scene of the past. Instead, it has become an experiment for many new architectural concepts. field.
The most important part of Rotterdam's itinerary is Kinderdijk, a world cultural heritage site located in the suburbs. It symbolizes the history of the Dutch people's struggle with the sea for land and takes about half a day. My most recommended attractions in the city are the Euromast and Boymans. The Van Beuningen Museum is also very good, and the Cube House, Market Square and Breedop Zoo are also very popular.
Zaanse Schans, located north of Amsterdam, and Kinderdijk on the outskirts of Rotterdam are two major windmill attractions in the Netherlands, but they are different in nature. Kinderdijk symbolizes the past history of the Dutch fighting for land with the sea and is listed as a World Cultural Heritage. Therefore, it is a historical site to visit and is not too commercial. Zaanse Schans is different. Its windmills are specially planned tourist areas. , used to organize and preserve the windmill buildings in the surrounding area. The windmills were gradually placed here from neighboring areas in the 1970s.
Bruges (Brugge/Bruges), located in West Flanders in northwest Belgium, is known as the Venice of the North and is also my most recommended Belgian attraction. Must-visit attractions include Bruges Bell Tower/Market Square, Castle Square, Rose Quay, The Lake of Love Park, the Atomium, etc., have completely preserved the medieval streets. The core area of the old city is listed as a World Cultural Heritage and was also the European Capital of Culture in 2002.
It takes about 3-3.5 hours to get from Amsterdam to Bruges by train or car. If you need to transfer in Brussels by train, it will be 0.5-1 hour slower than driving. Instead of worrying about arranging your itinerary and buying Guisensen train tickets, you really need to go It’s better to go with a group! Although the journey is very tiring, the travel time is only enough to get a glimpse of this ancient capital that is listed as a world cultural heritage. If you want to travel around Belgium, Bruges is your first choice!
Summary: The Netherlands is neither big nor small. Amsterdam is located right at the core of the Netherlands’ tourist hotspots. There are abundant attractions in both urban and suburban areas. It is highly recommended to travelers who want to take a relaxing trip to Europe.

Good spirituality Constructive contribution to your inner development. This is possible here through the sacraments of communion and confession. There is also regular Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, also known as Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

sunset boat cruise in Amsterdam canals
This is a must do if you are in the city, the streets are too crowded with tourists and noisy. You want to getaway from the noise of the city but still appreciate the beauty of its canals and views from the water. It’s a totally different experience compared to walking around. 🛥
It’s not cheap but really worth your time and money. I will do it again if I’m back in Amsterdam. I will go for a champagne and cured meats with cheese. That will be perfect 👍🏻
For those who afraid of seasickness, fred not, this has no current no waves, just smooth magic carpet ride, smoother than limousine on the road. Therfore you can enjoy even a hot tea or coffee ☕️ on the boat.

The Canals of Amsterdam NL 🇳🇱
Amsterdam is filled with many different touristic attractions including the red light district, museums, parks, and more. The city is known for being mostly bike able and most of the locals prefer to ride a bike or scooter around the city to get most places.
One of the biggest attractions and most often seen in movies and television are the Canals of Amsterdam. They are known for being gorgeously blue in the summer and sometimes even frozen solid in the winter.
One may often see boats passing by in the canals and they are picturesque for many occasions.
If I’m the Netherlands, walk along the canals and embrace the culture as a local.

Getting There - In the midst of Amsterdam Central
Attractions - a system of canal
The three main canals in Amsterdam were dug during the 19th century, during the Dutch Golden Age. The canal ring area Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Jordaan were listed as UNESCO Heritage site in 2010.
A must-do thing is to get on a canal cruise to travel through these canals and explore all the heritage buildings surroi this area.
It’s interesting to see some of the slanted buildings and the way the Dutch re-inforced them.
Once you are more familiar with navigating around these canals, you can try to explore the neighborhood on foot and of course on bike.

Explore the Canals of Amsterdam
Similar to many other cities that sit over water such as Venice, Amsterdam has a vibrant canal system.
The pretty waterways are one of the best loved attractions in Amsterdam and you can explore the idyllic routes by taking a boat tour or a water taxi that lets you hop around a range of locations.
If you don’t want to take to the water then you can still enjoy the canal sights with a leisurely stroll along the banks.

#tripaway During a 50-year project in the 17th century Amsterdam grew to four times its previous size, becoming the 3rd largest city in the world after London and Paris.
Central to that plan was the Canal Belt, a network of concentric canals that is now UNESCO listed.
Built on reclaimed land, Amsterdam is a feat of ingenuity, and still crackles with the ambition, cultural tolerance and enterprise that drove the 17th-century Golden Age when the Netherlands led the world in trade, maritime power, culture and economic might.
This is the city of Rembrandt, Anne Frank, the Red Light District, Johan Cruyff, and the Dutch East and West India Companies; there’s a world of fascinating stories, spellbinding art and architecture that has stood the test of time.

#tripaway I will always keep Amsterdam in my heart as one of the most charming cities I’ve ever been to! Amsterdam is colloquially known as Venice of the North because of its lovely canals that criss-cross the city, its impressive architecture and more than 1,500 bridges. There is something for every traveller's taste here; whether you prefer culture and history, serious partying, or just the relaxing charm of an old European city. #amsterdam #holland #netherlands #europe

Amsterdam is a city surrounded by a canal, and one of the modes of travel that is worth traveling is to take a canal cruise. You can use the Amsterdam Card for free rides. Otherwise you need to buy a ticket separately, like an adult 16 euros. Sitting on the blue boat this shipping company. There will be headphones on the boat, and the headphones will be voiced in more than 20 languages. The whole journey takes about 1 hour and you can take photos all the way.
The cruise ship sails on the canal, the colored houses lined up on both sides of the canal, the weather is good, the green trees and the blue sky of the riverside trees are matched, it is really very commentary. And the weather is good, the sun is shining in the cabin, I feel very comfortable. You can also take photos all the way, and use the wide angle to shoot the scenery. If you need to shoot portraits, try to shoot as far as possible. A wide-angle lens can definitely take good pictures.

After arriving in Amsterdam, the first stop came to the canal belt in the city centre. The
Amsterdam Canal Belt has a history of 400 years and has developed into a 75-kilometer canal network of more than 160 canals and 1,281 bridges. It is a well-deserved "water city".
Amsterdam is centered on the central railway station and is spread over the curved Seagul, Gentleman Canal, Emperor Canal, Princes Canal and the outermost Sear Canal. Its main attractions are concentrated around 1.5 km. Radius in the canal.
Small cruises, boat cruises are the best way to experience the charm of Amsterdam's waters. Through the glass roof and glass windows, you can enjoy the 17th century gabled buildings on both sides of the river. They are colorful and different in shape. And a sense of history.
The Netherlands is a bicycle kingdom, so bicycles can be seen everywhere. When mentioning a country known as the "king kingdom", people first think of China and the Netherlands. China has a certain number of bicycles, and it deserves to rank first in the world. In terms of the number of bicycles per person and the proportion of bicycles traveled, the Netherlands far exceeds China.

Take a glass boat tour of Amsterdam city. Amsterdam is a water city. To appreciate the flavor of the water city, you must take a sightseeing cruise in Amsterdam. On the boat you can often find the sights you noticed while walking on the street.
TIPS:
Cruises are more suitable for a one-hour day trip. Of course, in addition to the cruise arrangement of the Viking River, individuals can also choose to board the ship at the terminal in front of Amsterdam Central Station. The tour boat for each route runs every 15-30 minutes. Surrounded by the canals of Amsterdam, the dense canal waterways divide the streets and lanes of the city one by one. The flocks of seagulls dance in the waterways and the rooms, bullying the ducks that are foraging in the water, like the Venice of the north. . Amsterdam is old and very tasteful. The houses on both sides of the canal have a history of nearly 300 years, which is absolutely unimaginable in the sky. All three- and four-story small buildings are carefully decorated in blue, green and red, so cute as toys.
In fact, the houses in Amsterdam are very narrow and can only be accessed by one person. It is said that there was a strange law in the ancient times. The bigger the door, the more taxes were paid. The smart Dutch had to make the door as small as possible to avoid the high tax, but the windows were made very large, and the furniture was everything. The window is lifted in and out. Careful observation will reveal that there are several protruding iron hooks on the top of all small buildings, which are used to fix the ropes used for lifting items.

Amsterdam is one of the world-famous city that never sleeps, but in the days before the night, Amsterdam is surprisingly peaceful and peaceful, as if it is not leaving the sun, not letting this sunset, not every minute before the night.
The St. Nicholas Cathedral, which the sun has skipped, is like a faded photo that is very artistic.
In the evening, the Amsterdam canal is full of tourists.
Away from the riverside of the old town, the bicycles that are parked here alone, without handbrakes~
night, the nightlife in Amsterdam is about to begin, and the street lights are also on. At this time in Amsterdam, a quiet charm came out. We are on the streets and look forward to seeing the different side of Amsterdam.
Night St. Nicholas Cathedral is also so beautiful, just because of the time difference, we did not enjoy the more organic life at night, and returned to the hotel soon after entering the night, but these hours before the night will be engraved in my mind forever!

A magical water world in Eminem, unlike Venice's busy, Eminem's canal belt is rather leisurely. In addition to the rushing bicycle, it seems that no one is here. The hh/Amsterdam Canal Belt has a history of 400 years. The 75-kilometer canal network of more than 160 canals and 1,281 bridges is spread out through the curved Singer Canal, the Gentleman Canal, the Emperor Canal, the Princes Canal and the Brewers Canal. The good way is to take a cruise on the gable and look at the bridge. If you can live here for a few years, the unique charm of Amsterdam will be more attractive.

A small fishing village was built here in the late 12th century, and then due to the development of trade, Amsterdam became the world's important port in the golden age of the Netherlands. In that era, the city was the center of finance and diamonds. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city expanded and many new neighborhoods were formed with suburban residential areas. Now the fourth largest airport in Europe
