Amsterdam - The Tours
By Rahul viz
The best way to see Amsterdam is from the water. To get the best sight a range of boat excursions can be booked at the information offices of Amsterdam Tourist & Convention Board. There is lot of choice it can either be a jazz cruise, or an architecture trip or even a trip by Museum Boat. There is a wide range of excursions in and around Amsterdam. There is so much choice that one is spoilt for choice. Though Amsterdam itself is a good tourist destination, it does not mean that you can't go sightseeing outside the city limits.
In addition to tours through the city, various excursions take a person to towns and places of interest around Amsterdam. One can go to Marken, Edam, Alkmaar and the windmills of Zaanse Schans, the Keukenhof and Waterland.
The type of excursion a person is planning will be the base for booking any trip. Is the outing with a group of friends, relatives or colleagues? One can book many group excursions available from the tourist information office. A bike tour which goes along many surprising sights in or around Amsterdam may be just what a person is looking for. There is enough choice to even arrange an all-inclusive theme parties, such as a typically Dutch party or a Rembrandt Night.
To say that Amsterdammers are avid cyclists is a bit of an understatement. There are some 400km of bike paths in the city alone. These paths give top priority to cyclists, and nowhere is the humble cycle so revered, here even cars and pedestrians come a poor second. To have a local's perspective on the city, one can just hire a bike and go along the way one wants to.
The Vondelpark is an exquisite place for a stroll or a jog, particularly in spring, however if one wants more of a serious leg-stretch, the sprawling Amsterdamse Bos is the place to head. The lover of skating can get to skate on frozen canals and the Museumplein pond during the winter, though if a person goes in the Jaap Edenbaan indoor and outdoor rinks instead. The healthy atmosphere of Amsterdam gives everyone a chance to be a tourist as well as to be fit.
