Amsterdam budget holiday

It is one of those things that you really have to do at least once in your lifetime… experience the lively nightlife of Amsterdam. With more than 4.2 million international visitors per year, Amsterdam is the 5th busiest tourist destination in Europe, which is no surprise given it has over 350 hotels, 17 of which are of five-star quality. And, there would be no shortage of rooms, with over 18,00 rooms housing almost 45,000 beds. Prices are very reasonable for accommodation, making Amsterdam a perfect budget holiday.

Visitors are attracted to the liberal nature of Amsterdam with its relaxed charm, which is only emphasised more, by its mesmerising canals, abundant museums and elegant narrow-fronted merchant’s buildings.

Many people visit Amsterdam not only to experience the relaxed, laid back attitude, but also to view the many spectacular Van Gogh paintings housed in the Van Gogh Museum, which incidentally houses the largest collection of Van Gogh’s work in the world. Another popular destination is the Anne Frank House, which is a museum dedicated to the recital of the Anne Frank story.

Amsterdam embraces initiatives such as car sharing and car-pooling and strongly discourages driving in the city centre. In fact, it is one of the most bicycle friendly cities in the world and this is catered for with great access for cycle paths and cycle lanes etc. With over one million bicycles in the city alone, the government encourage their usage by making car-parking fees relatively expensive and often some streets are closed to cars or are one-way systems.

With its culture, art and liberal views, not to mention quaint surroundings, Amsterdam is truly a remarkable destination and certainly one to visit.
