A lovely post about Amsterdam by Shoe Fiend. For someone who walked through Ams for five hours, its remarkably insightful and cuts through the usual touristy impressions.
Amsterdam doesn’t overwhelm you as Paris does with its grand buildings and boulevards. It isn’t as large and impersonal as London can be. It doesn’t make your head spin as Rome does with fountains, obelisks and stunning chapels on every street corner. Amsterdam is lovely in a quiet but quirky way. Unassuming but certainly not unprepossessing. It makes you feel welcome, at ease and at home. It allows you to soak up its ambience at your own pace.
In the interests of disclosure, I admit I am a biased judge.
