Take Me to Amsterdam

I lived my high school life fully with the “All of the Stars” by Ed Sheeran. It’s from a movie called The Fault in our Stars by one of the best authors – John Green. This song gives me a home-like feeling; a safe place where memories could flow with only a little pain in my old scars. 

It has a line:

“So I took your hand, back through lamp-lit streets I knew

 Everything led back to you

 So can you see the stars over Amsterdam?

 You're the song my heart is beating to.”

The feeling is overwhelming and this is one of the many reasons which made me want to visit this city, the whole country rather. 

Amsterdam is the capital of Netherlands. It is located in northwest Europe. It is noted for its flat terrain dotted with canals, tulip fields and windmills, as well as its bicycle paths and trails.

It is good to go there because the difference between the lowest-paid and highest-paid employees is negligible, and people are extremely informal with one another. Women are also free to act and dress however they like, and they are generally safe when they are on their own. Moreover, in the Netherlands, particularly in the larger cities, there are many distinct cultures and peoples to be found.

Besides the fact that there are excellent museums, especially in the capital city, the public transportation system is simple to use, reasonably priced, and quite well timed. Lots of interesting architecture to visit, as well as national parks and the Wadden Islands, which are really enjoyable. The country can appear to be a little homogeneous at first glance, but once you start traveling around, you will notice the great distinctions.

That being said, here are some great spots that you won’t want to miss:

Giethoorn

It is known as the "Venice of the Netherlands" for its thatched roof farmhouses and wooden arch bridges, which can be traversed via bike lanes or canals—either by boat or on ice skates during the winter months when the ice is frozen solid.

Kinderdijk

This is the place where you can find lots of windmills. They lie on the Dutch countryside. This place is a UNESCO world heritage site. In exact, there are nineteen monumental windmills there and are believed to be helpful in preventing flood. Strong structures as they were all built in early eighteenth century.

Another important thing that highlights Netherlands are the tulips. Thus, it is a lot better to go on a travel in this country during the tulips season.

Make the journey to the Netherlands in the middle of April to witness the tulips at their peak blooming splendor. Tulip season lasts from the end of March to the midst of May, however the blooms are normally at their peak around the middle of the month of March. The Keukenhof in Lisse, the Netherlands, is home to more than 7 million flower buds that blossom every spring. It is one of the top locations to see a wide variety of tulips in their natural habitat.

I really wish I could go there. Tulips are many people's top favored flower but actually I haven’t seen one in actual yet. Nonetheless, it isn’t impossible to make the world afloat and go here someday and run alongside the tulips field. 

The Netherlands may be a small country, but it is filled with world-famous landmarks and historic sites. Learn out about our tulip fields, windmills, cheese markets, wooden shoes, canals and bridges of Amsterdam, Old Master paintings, ceramics from the Delft region and lots of bicycles.

It sounds cozy and a dream life for me. Take me to Amsterdam.
