Amsterdam Canals: One of the world's watery cities Amsterdam is home to more than 160 canals that cover 100km. The canals play an important role in maritime traffic but are also a great source of income thanks to the tourists that flock to the city each year. The canals were built during the 17th century and are now one of the reasons Amsterdam is famous throughout the world. The Canals were placed on UNESCO's World Heritage list in 2011 for their historical importance. The oldest and most picturesque canal in the city is situated in the Red-Light district, the part of the city famous for hedonism and interesting history. The most important canal in Amsterdam was in the 17th century an area where the most influential people lived, Herengracht Canal or known as the Gentlemen's Canal is still a very affluent area and is the residence of the Mayor of Amsterdam. Keizersgracht (Emperor's canal) was named after the emperor Maximillian of Austria. It’s the widest and one of three main canals in the city. Residents of the area like to utilise the canal system as a way to transport themselves around the city. The sheer joy of wandering the city and meandering the cobbled streets and canal bridges cannot be duplicated, an easy way to see as much of the city and canals as possible throughout your visit is to hire a bike.

Airport and Transportation
Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, AMS is a Major transit hub in Europe that deals with over 40 million passengers per year. Located 14km outside of Amsterdam it provides easy access to the city centre. Although a large airport the Airport only has 1 terminal but, is split into 3 different sections all connected by the Schiphol Plaza with its shopping centre, train station and many bars and restaurants. Underneath the Schiphol Plaza is the airport's train station, trains are the cheapest and most efficient way to get to Amsterdam Central Station and to other parts of The Netherlands. To the city centre the trains run 24 hours a day and take 15 minutes. There are also some International trains to the South of Brussels and Paris. As the Airport is within easy reach of the city centre taxis are a very convenient way of reaching your hotel outside of the plaza. In peak season we recommend booking any taxi requirements from the airport in advance. There is a hotel shuttle service called Conexxion and goes to 100 hotels in the city and runs each day between 06:00 and 21:00. However, please check with the hotel you have booked as some hotels, especially the bigger chains have their own shuttles that can be booked in advance. For those of you who wish to be more independent and may want to explore whilst you are on holiday there are many car rental companies located in the plaza. In peak seasons it's highly recommended that you book your cars in advance.
