Amsterdam，the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands，is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world，famous for its beautiful canals，top art museums，cycling culture，and Red Light District.Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.

Must­See Attractions

Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre，which is full of traditional architecture，shopping centers，and coffee shops.You'll also want to check out Amsterdam's Museum Quarter in the South District，which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondel park.The top museums to visit are the Rijks musuem，the Ann Frank House，and the Van Gogh Museum.The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a popular place for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.

Transportation

Travelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world.This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of city center.You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station，which has many connecting routes.It's typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is heavy and parking is difficult to

find.Cycling is incredibly popular here，and it's easy to find cheap bike rentals around town.Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and is a great city to explore on foot.

Money Saving Tips

Unless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香) blooming，avoid booking between mid­March and mid­May.This is when hotel and flight prices rise.

Look for accommodations in Amsterdam's South District，where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.

Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.

Instead of hiring a tour guide，hop on a canal boat.They're inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.

When I lived in Spain，some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left，they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所).I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses，because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice，but they came back with some funny stories.

“We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses，” they said，“because we found that most families were away on holiday.”

I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English，and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”，because the Spanish word for
