Rick Steves' Europe travel guide © 2014 | Amsterdam – Europe's best-preserved 17th-century city – is at once picturesque and shocking, traditional and modern. Filled with history and still cheerful, it is a joy to explore. Uniquely entertaining Amsterdam boasts its Rembrandts and Van Goghs, more bicycles than cars, flirtatious prostitutes and pot-filled coffee shops – all beneath tall, lean facades leaning over tranquil canals. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #amsterdam
