The Idyllic City of Amsterdam

This year, I had the opportunity to spend three days in this magnificent city. Amsterdam is unique in many ways, and it's one of those cities that everyone talks about, but you only know what it is like once you are there and want to stay. It's very welcoming, walkable, and charming. I left wanting to stay longer and see other parts of the city that I didn't get to see, but next year, I will be back there for the third edition of my association, the ASTA River Cruise Expo conference, and I can't wait to get there!

This idyllic city is located in the heart of The Netherlands and is often called the "Venice of the North" due to its extensive network of canals and waterways. When planning a river cruise in The Netherlands, I recommend booking a pre-land package to explore Amsterdam before embarking on your journey. This city has so much to offer regarding culture, history, and entertainment; you will want to experience everything.

The first things you'll notice when visiting Amsterdam is the city's rich history and vibrant culture. The city's narrow streets and historic architecture provide a glimpse into the past, while its modern art and music scenes are a testament to Amsterdam's progressive spirit. You can explore Amsterdam's culture and history by visiting its many museums, includingAs a travel expert, I have encountered many stunning cities and destinations over the years, but there is something genuinely unique about Amsterdam in The Netherlands. ​
