I’ve been to Holland main city many times, however it was always on business and although I knew the districts, I wasn’t really aware of just how enchanting and amazing this city is if you are with your household and loved ones. Thus, for our 5th anniversary, I chose to bring my wife and my girl on a prolonged weekend break in Amsterdam.
I sorted out the airline tickets and reserved a holiday Amsterdam apartment from a web site that I found simple to navigate and easy to reserve. The vacation Amsterdam getaway apartment which I picked was very carefully chosen, because I wanted Anna and our daughter Ellie to be close to the main sites and still to be able to return to the apartment easily if they require to.
As soon as we arrived in the main city of Netherlands, we were all happy, since that was our first true family trip, since until now Ellie was too little to take a trip with us. Thus, we settled in our Amsterdam flat, left our bags and were keen to go out again.
The very first thing we did that day was to go on a canal cruise, as the canals in Amsterdam are image of the city that create its passionate charm, unveiling magnificent panoramic scenery. There are lots of canal cruises available in Amsterdam, but we decided to take a larger charter boat, where we also had the chance to dine.
That afternoon we spend in the old town and the central zone of the city, which are near to our Amsterdam apartment. The centre is compact and is enjoyable to explore by walking. It offers great architecture which is a fest for the eye, several bridges and a lot of cafes, elegant restaurants and small parks.
