Amsterdam - just beautiful in the summer

Amsterdam in the summer is just beautiful and quiet. Flowers everywhere and bicycles…the only noisy people in town are … the tourists. This city has amazed me every time I have visited it…nobody is honking, nobody is yelling…just make sure you don’t get run over by a bicycle!

Getting there

I believe Amsterdam is the easiest city to get to from the airport. The airport (Schiphol Airport) is connected to the city center by trains that run every 15 minutes or so throughout the day. So, no matter when you plane arrives, you can hop on the next train and in 15 minutes you will find yourself in Amsterdam’s main train station which is located right in the old downtown. It is just great to go visit the city in between plane flights. If you have more than 3 hours in between your flights you can easily get to visit the city.
