Amsterdam is famous for being party-central in Europe due to its permissive culture and coffee shops with every kind of ganja under the sun for sale. Shaped something like a horseshoe, the centre of Amsterdam is a great place to wander around in circles and then blame it on the grass.

In summer everyone is on the grass – in the parks, where the locals go to rollerskate, play music or just hang out, making Amsterdam one of the least urban cities you’ll find.

Tourism can get a bit intense in summer and the city is freezing in winter but the city retains a scenic magic in each season with picturesque canals where you can sit and drink a beer and munch on a waffle.

Amsterdam is also a pretty happening place and, with a strong squatting culture, there’s every kind of bar, club and alternative performance going on that you could want.
