About Amsterdam
Amsterdam is compact, bike-crazy, and shockingly expensive for a city where everyone cycles everywhere. Jordaan neighborhood has the best brown cafés (cozy pubs), the canal ring is legitimately beautiful, and yes, the Van Gogh Museum is worth the hype. Rent a bike; you'll regret trying to walk everywhere.
