Publisher's Synopsis
Amsterdam tourism figures have grown dramatically every year, as the festival city of Europe, with its mild winters and cool summers has a wide variety of attractions and activities for every type of traveler. The majority of residents speak English, another enticing factor for tourists. The city boasts over 50 art museums and 1,200 restaurants, not to mention the Artis Zoo which houses over 6,000 animals. If you are an early riser, head over to the Aalsmeer Flower Auction, which covers an area greater than 200 football fields. If you are seeking something mellower, quaint fishing villages, cycle tours along the dunes and boat tours are also available.
