  1. Why Amsterdam is So Popular? Amsterdam is a feat of ingenuity and still crackles with the ambition, cultural tolerance, and enterprise that drove the 17th-century Golden Age when the Netherlands led the world in trade, maritime power, culture, and economic might. This is the city of Rembrandt, Anne Frank, the Red Light District, Johan Cruyff, and the Dutch East and West India Companies; there’s a world of fascinating stories, spellbinding art, and architecture that has stood the test of time. Here is the list of reasons why Amsterdam is Popular. List of Reasons Why Amsterdam is Popular 1. Tulips

  2. Tulips are quintessentially Dutch and, along with windmills, are something people think of when they think Holland countryside. While I didn't get a chance to leave Amsterdam city center, one of the largest flower markets, Blumenmarkt, offered the insane amount of tulips I believe my mom was referring to. It was beautiful to walk through, so bright and colorful and fresh. 2. Pancakes

  3. I promise we did things other than snacking. It's funny, because when I was looking up "Where to eat in Amsterdam", I kept reading things that alluded to Amsterdam having really poor food - well, I found otherwise, I guess, but I love cheese and fries so I suppose I was pretty much at home here. Dutch pancakes are big and thin - somewhat of a thicker crepe - and the combinations of toppings are what make them so unique. They have the classic, sweet, and savory toppings. 3. Canal houses

  4. Along the canals, which is pretty much every street in Amsterdam, you have the classic Amsterdam canal houses that are so old, historical and picturesque. The houses are tall and narrow, which isn't just so they look nice - back when they were building them, they were taxed on the width of the houses, so they are all very narrow and instead have great depth and height. Pretty interesting. 4. Art

  5. Van Gogh and Rembrandt it's hard to go through naming the top things about Amsterdam and miss talking about the amazing artists that once called the city home. These classic artists of completely different styles both have museums - Rembrandt's in his old home, and Van Gogh's near Vondelpark - that house many of their works.
