The capital of Netherlands, Amsterdam is known as " venice of the North", because of its beautiful waterways that criss cross the city, its impressive unique architecture and has more than 1500 bridges ! Declared a UNESCO SITE in 2010, a Canal Ring was dug in the 17th Century under the Golden Dutch Age to attract wealthy homeowners.

Today the Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein are the city's prime nightlife spots. And Jordaan, which was traditionally a working class area has gone upmarket with plenty of quaint art galleries, hip boutiques and happening cafes and restaurants.
