Amsterdam
Arts
Amsterdam came into its own as a world renowned cultural center in the Golden Age. The arts continue to play a key role in forming the cultural identity of the city. The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is regarded as the best in the world. Then there’s the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum and several other world class museums. Endless galleries, countless summer festivals, stunning architecture and an ever-evolving creative industry are just the tip of Amsterdam’s creative scene.
Canals
Amsterdam is a city dominated by water and is often referred to as the “Venice of the North”. The city center consists of 90 small islands connected by more than two-hundred bridges. The 17th century canal rings were constructed in the Dutch Golden Age, and they are still the heart of social life in the city, particularly in the summer on, in or near the canals are the place to be. The easiest and most relaxing way to see Amsterdam is from the water, we’d recommend to join us on Pulitzer’s classic hotel boat.
Vibe
Amsterdam has a unique energy. Its citizens adore Amsterdam and visitors are quick to fall in love with the rich history and relaxed, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Amsterdam has maintained a strong international mindset since the Golden Age and is now home to: more than 180 nationalities, a rich international food scene, and a local population who switch effortlessly to English on a daily basis.
Bicycles
The historic center of Amsterdam was initially designed for pedestrians, horses and boats, although you’d think it was designed for bikes. Biking is a way of life in Holland and the Amsterdammers are no exception. The city currently houses more bikes than people and has 500 kilometers of dedicated bike paths. If you want to play the local be warned, biking in Amsterdam is not for the faint hearted!
