Hotels in Amsterdam – The Van Gogh Museum and stoned people

Amsterdam’s a fine place for a short break or a holiday. A beautiful ancient city that’s home to the Van Gogh Museum, a wonderful hippy market, loads of great shops, bars and restaurants and flocks of bemused stoned people. Hotels in Amsterdam? You’ll find everything from basic crash pads where the residents answer the ‘phone in the hall and take bookings (all a bit precarious) to posher than a posh thing. Many of the most convenient hotels in Amsterdam are right in the city centre, like The 4 star Golden Tulip Hotel; a few minutes’ walk from the main shopping streets. Because it’s in a traffic free square, the Golden Tulip is well known for a quiet night’s sleep.

Amsterdam Hotels – Relaxed canal cruises

Amsterdam's canals are deservedly famous and very beautiful. Thing is, there’s loads of them dividing the city with a huge watery grid, and they’re difficult to tell apart. Witness bemused tourists turning their maps this way and that. Hotels in Amsterdam will all be able to give you details of canal cruises in open top narrow boats and canal bikes (like a bicycle but on the water). Want to find hotels in Amsterdam that wallow in luxury? The five star NH Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky exudes class and traditional Dutch hospitality. Opposite the Palace and Dam Square, this is an impressive place. Treat yourself to cocktails or dine on fine international cuisine in the restaurant. Yummy.

Hotels in Amsterdam – Galleries, coffee shops and fine shopping

Ann Frank wrote her diaries here, poor little girl, and the house she was hidden in is a popular attraction. Hotels in Amsterdam tend to be anglophile and the Dutch are immaculately polite and reasonable people. Not unlike Brits but, on the whole, much less drunk. The Hotel City Garden is in a quiet part of town, Hooftstraat, home of Dutch haute couture. This spotless Amsterdam hotel is right on the Vondelpark, a delightful park to get lost and chill out in and within spitting distance of the Concert Hall and Casino.

Amsterdam Holidays

Amsterdam holidays offer everything for city break; hit Rembrandtplein for the nightlife, Spui for an intellectual awakening, and Musumplein to experience the unique Dutch culture.

The hub is around Central Station from which a network of excitement radiates. Amsterdam began as a fishing village in the late 12th century. Beatthebrochure knows you fish for cannabis cafes and clubbing too. Known for its liberal attitude ever since the Golden Age, Amsterdam was famous for its art and trade. Its tolerant views on drugs, carry on that liberal tradition even now.

Cheap Amsterdam Holidays

Amsterdam is more than a playground for posh grads and weekend warriors. Historic 17 century buildings make your heart thump. As do the best museums and galleries in Europe.

Easy to find your way around, Amsterdam is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world. Maybe the 25,000 bikes which ended up in the canals, did so because their riders drunk too many monk beers. Ride along the grid of canals, feel the soft breeze against your face.

Warm in summer, above freezing in winter, the beatthebrochure packer won’t need a variety of clothes in an on/off suitcase.

Be overwhelmed by sensory delights. Take home a red tulip. Come back for more Amsterdam holiday experiences with beatthebrochure.com

Flights to Amsterdam – One million bicycles

You have to watch yourself or risk getting run over by one of Amsterdam’s 1 million bicycles. Perhaps not the first thing that springs to mind when you’re planning flights to Amsterdam. But useful to bear in mind as you stagger between coffee shops, if that’s your thing. There are only 700,000 people living in Amsterdam, so the other 300,000 bicycles must belong to tourists… a scary thought. Schiphol Airport, where your flights to Amsterdam will deposit you, is a short, convenient train ride from the city centre and – another interesting fact – is at least four metres below sea level. Hm… just in case, we always prefer to go at low tide.

Amsterdam Flights – Flat, wet and criss-crossed with canals

Holland has waged war against the sea for centuries and flights to Amsterdam land you in a landscape that’s oddly flat. In the UK we’re used to hills and hillocks and dales and mountains. There, the steepest hill is just a few hundred feet high. You know that story about the lad who stuck his finger in the Dyke to prevent the whole country flooding? He was a real person. Consider this and other useless yet entertaining facts while in one of the city’s 300 coffee shops, then try and find your hotel afterwards. Amsterdam flights land in a city named after the Amstel River and the dam the Dutch built to stop it flooding the original village. We wonder, idly, whether Dutch people have evolved into very tall beings in order to see above the flood waters. Then we dismiss it as a silly idea.

Flights to Amsterdam – Navigate 4000km of waterways

Holland has over 4000km of rivers, lakes and canals to navigate and boat trips are very popular. Many flights to Amsterdam are specially arranged to give tourists access to the famous and delicious tulip fields, huge squares of the most astonishingly vivid colours as far as the eye can see. Schiphol Airport is home to an enormous number of airlines, around 100 in all including household names like Air France, British Airways, BMI, Flybe and easyJet.
