Amsterdam
Canals and tulips
Amsterdam is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, known for its canal system, historic architecture, and liberal social policies.
The city is a major cultural and financial center: We spent a week in Amsterdam visiting museums.
Its association with tolerance extends to its famous red-light district and coffee shops selling cannabis.
