Amsterdam Summary

Amsterdam by Simon Calder

This guide combines bright, modern design, witty and informative writing with practical fold-back-flat spiral binding. A collection of highly readable features set the scene in the introductory Magazine section and the Finding Your Feet section gives that vital info to get you started. Amsterdam is then split into geographical zones. The must-see sights are covered in depth with insider tips to help you make the most of your time and beat the crowds; suggested itineraries, walks and tours, super-clear maps, where to take a break and where to shop are detailed for each area. And to make sure you're not disappointed, specialist food and drink writers recommend the best places to eat and drink.
