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.

Welcome to the hotelbook.com podcast. Today we visit Tokyo, one of the world’s most exciting cities.
And we’re going to take a brief look at a must-see area of the city, Shibuya.
Shibuya is a wildly crowded, fun, lively and vibrant part of Western Tokyo. There are a number of classic sites to be seen in Shibuya but also some unusual ones too. Starting with a classic, you can see the famous capsule hotel, Central Inn Shibuya. Unfortunately, women aren’t allowed inside, but guys are welcome to enter and take a peek at the tiny capsules or pods that can be purchased for the night. It is highly unlikely that you’d voluntarily spend a night in one of these tiny capsules. They are most popular with young Japanese businessmen who have had a few too many after-work drinks and have either forgotten their way home, or missed the last train.
