Hallo / Goedendag
How locals say hello in Amsterdam
Spring (AprilโMay) for tulips and mild weather
Cycling is the dominant mode of transport โ stay out of bike lanes. Almost everyone speaks English.
Around 1270, fishermen and farmers built a dam across the Amstel River where it met the IJ bay โ creating the Amstelredamme. The city received its charter around 1306. Then came the Dutch Golden Age: by the 1630s Amsterdam was the wealthiest city on Earth, home to Rembrandt, the world's first stock exchange, and trading ships connecting every inhabited continent.
Amsterdam has more bicycles than residents and over 1,500 bridges crossing its famous canals.
