Amsterdam's image as a city of canals and bicycles is a familiar one - and with over 160 waterways in the capital and a large, permanent canal-boat population, the canal system is certainly impressive. The city is famous for its diamond and antiques trades, its museums, art galleries and street markets and areas such as the Jordaan offer a combination of colourful buildings, distinctive architecture and an informal atmosphere. The visitor to Amsterdam will soon discover that the Dutch - hospitable and famously multilingual - know how to enjoy life to the full. This travel guide introduces the reader to Amsterdam's history, people, culture and economy and then focuses on the sights and places of interest to visit. The user-friendly text contains travel tips, information panels and maps to help visitors make the most of the time available.
