Although I only stayed in Amsterdam for one week in autumn, the city still felt warm and welcoming, with a certain cozy charm. I remember seeing far more smiles here than in Berlin, Rome, or even London.

Sites visited on my most recent trip: Amsterdam Canal Cruises, Anne Frank House, The Heineken Experience, Micropia, Museumplein, Rembrandt House Museum, Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum, Van Gogh Museum, Vondelpark.
