Amsterdam makes other cities look as if they just haven't tried. It boasts more canals than Venice and a more famous Red Light District than even Bangkok's. Plus a range of fine museums -- from the Anne Frank Huis to the Rijksmuseum -- that makes Paris look narrow-minded. And then there are the hundreds of 'brown bars' that make even London's pubs seem characterless.

Meet the Author

Rodney Bolt is the author of Cadogan's Holland and Amsterdam & the Randstad.

Read an Excerpt

'If you are used to slick New York service, or even to the slightly less brisk British style, then you are in for a sad surprise when you visit Amsterdam. Bring a bottle of valium to help keep calm and a pack of cards to while away the time... though when they so come they are so full of shiny-eyed friendliness that it is difficult to be angry.'

    Great Book!

    This is a great book! The maps are good. They have great customer service as well.

    The only issue was with this shipment was the package was sent to the wrong address and I had to pay shipping when the post man came to drop off the package. But I went to a borders store near my house and they looked into the issue and refunded me the money that I paid the post office.
