Amsterdam Podcast

Hello and welcome back to the Hotelbook.com podcast. In this episode we’re taking a trip to continental Europe and exploring the canals and narrow streets of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

There is something for everybody in the city of Amsterdam – from the Rembrandt and City museums, to the sex and marijuana museums. And when you’re not seeing great art, eating or shopping, then just walking or sailing around the city is an enjoyable experience in itself. Amsterdam has retained its characteristic horseshoe shape, the pattern of which is still clearly visible in the network of canals and streets in the city centre. The canals are lined by beautiful 16th and 17th century houses, which are now very desirable as each has its own story and history.
