Amsterdam - Lindsay Bennett

Berlitz Pocket Guide Amsterdam is a concise, full-colour travel guide that combines lively text with vivid photography to highlight the very best that this easygoing city has to offer. The Where To Go chapter details all the key sights. Start by strolling down the city's picturesque canal streets, admiring the tall, narrow, gabled townhouses and humpback bridges then head to the world-famous Rijksmuseum to admire the Dutch Masters. End the day with a drink in a typical atmospheric brown caf. Handy maps on the cover help you get around with ease.
To inspire you, the book offers a rundown of the Top 10 Attractions in the city, followed by an itinerary for a Perfect Day in Amsterdam. The What to Do chapter is a snapshot of ways to spend your spare time, from shopping for Delftware or blooms at the legendary Bloemenmarkt to hopping on a canal boat to admire the city from the water.
You'll also be armed with background information, including a brief history of the city and an Eating Out chapter covering its eclectic choice of cuisines. There are carefully chosen listings of the best hotels and restaurants, and an A-Z to equip you with all the practical information you will need.
