Amsterdam - the pleasure capital
Tell the folks you're off to Amsterdam and you'll get a series of raised eyebrows and maybe more. And yes, Amsterdam can fulfil all those party wishes plus, but there's a much larger aspect to this beautiful city.
Amsterdam is shopping, art and coffee, it's walking through 16th century alleys, revelling in the pedestrian-friendly atmosphere, chilling in a small bar and watching the world go by.
Amsterdam is the ideal city for cheap weekend breaks. You can fly in, fly out, see all there is and be back in time for work on Monday with a big smile on your face.
Romantic weekend breaks are a specialty - not because of any particular canal settings that we can think of, more because there is just so much to see and do in this compact little city. Shopping should please her, a beer or two should keep him happy.
Museums, galleries, restaurants, nightclubs and bars, Amsterdam has everything for last minute holidays or those just wanting a short city break. Roam the streets, take in the Van Gogh Museum (that's your must do), cruise the canals, hire a bike, go shopping. That's what city breaks Europe are surely all about!
