If you&#8217;re debating whether you should visit Amsterdam or not, here are a few reasons why you should.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Why You Should Visit Amsterdam<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">The canals<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Architecture<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Cycling Lifestyle<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Food<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Art And History<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">The Canals<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Amsterdam is known for it&#8217;s beautiful canals. We see photos of these everywhere on the internet and it&#8217;s even better to experience it in person. If you didn&#8217;t know already, Amsterdam is actually made up of almost 200 different canals going through the city and the canal belt was made a UNESCO world heritage site in 2011. The entire city is actually below sea level and is built on a swap which is why there are so many canals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Architecture<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Since the city was built on a swap and surrounded by canals, the houses are uniquely structured- tall, narrow and crooked. The history behind the reason why they were built this way is because residents were taxed on the width of the houses, hence why they&#8217;re all tall and narrow. These classic Amsterdam houses are historical and picturesque, and can be found in almost every street in Amsterdam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Cycling<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Experience the cycling lifestyle in this beautiful city. A bike is the main transportation used in Amsterdam, whether that&#8217;s going to work, on dates or going to the market. In fact, it is said that there are more bikes than people! If you want to explore the city, hiring a bike is the best way get around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Food\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Amsterdam has an internationally diverse selection of food. It is particular good for Indonesian cuisines and\u00a0Surinamese food. If you&#8217;ve never heard of or know little about Suriname,\u00a0 it is a former Dutch colony in South America that is now an independent country. That&#8217;s something new for you to try out! There&#8217;s also the traditional dutch food such<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">\u00a0as Bitterballen, a deep fried meatball, Poffertjes, baby fluffy pancakes, Stroopwafel, a thin waffle, and cheese!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Art and History<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Amsterdam is filled with much art and history. Van Gogh and Rembrandt were two famous artists who have museums that house many of their previous works. There are also other museums showcasing years of history such as the Anne Frank House and the Rijksmuseum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">The city is filled with so much culture and history, and you&#8217;ll probably love the lifestyle there on your visit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">If or when you do decide to visit Amsterdam, don&#8217;t worry about getting your clothes cleaned. You can book a collection with\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/laundryheap.nl\">Laundryheap<\/a>\u00a0and have your items cleaned and delivered to your hotel or Airbnb within 24 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">If you&#8217;ve visited Amsterdam before and absolutely fell in love with city, let us know in the comments what you love about the city.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amsterdam is a picturesque city filled with many things to see and do.
