It?s almost a contradiction that such a casual, comfortable city like Amsterdam can provide world-class luxury. But it does and it does it well by presenting luxury that?s approachable in every way. You can get anything you want in this city without the pretense that?s often associated with luxury travel.
The city itself is a joy year-round. In some ways winter is the best time to visit. The overcast skies during the day increase the city?s romantic charms. During the long nights, the city lights twinkle off the waters of the canals. A stroll along the streets always comes with new surprises, whether it?s an architectural element from another century or store specializing in a new interpretation of Dutch design. Leaving the cold for the warmth and coziness of the bars and restaurants is a reward for time well spent. I?ll never grow tired of this city. Getting There
