Amstel Botel

Amsterdam embodies the term “open minded”. As a city they excel at easy travel, picturesque views and quick access to any number of wonderful museums. The architecture in Amsterdam pays homage back to the city’s 17th-century Golden Age and helps preserve a unique history. As a place to travel, Amsterdam provides all of the experiences you could want and is easy to visit by air or by train. The canal systems, bicycle paths and narrow houses lend a special atmosphere to a large city that can also feel inviting like a small town. Fun Fact: Did you know that bicycles outnumber people in Amsterdam? ___________________ Check out the "Transit & General Info" section at the bottom to see tips for getting around the city & exploring Amsterdam at an affordable price.
