Amsterdam accommodations
Amsterdam accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “Venice of the North”. Known for its museums, art galleries, theaters, castles, event venues, canals, narrow canal houses, bridges, parks, wind mills, cafes, coffee shops (cannabis), red-light district and tulips, Amsterdam is located in northern Netherlands, 33 miles northeast of The Hague (seat of the Dutch government), 82 miles northeast of Antwerp (Belgium) and 133 miles northwest of Dortmund (Germany). Across The North Sea from England and via the man-made North Sea Canal, or Noordzeekanaal, Amsterdam’s waterfront is known as The IJ. Flowing through Amsterdam is the Amstel, a North Holland province river. The Amstel rises just north of Nieuwveen (village) and empties into a former bay just past Stationseiland (artificial island – site of Amsterdam Centraal Station).

Amsterdam’s most renowned football club is AFC Ajax, which plays at Johan Cruijff Arena on the city’s southeast side. One of the world’s most English-friendly cities, Amsterdam boasts a high English proficiency level. About 90% of the city’s population speaks English. Although Amsterdam’s population is generally considered friendly, one should nevertheless remain vigilant, especially in places around the red-light district. Be sure not to smoke cannabis, or drink alcohol, in public places, and stay out of bicycle paths. Apart from cannabis, also legal in Amsterdam are magic truffles (less-potent magic mushrooms) and prostitution. De Wallen, Amsterdam’s largest red-light district, is located at medieval city center. Otherwise neon-lit, De Wallen, with its canals, narrow alleys and bars, is worthy of at least a day-time stroll. While in the red-light district, one should not take pictures of sex workers or linger in front of brothel windows. Generally in Amsterdam, its best to keep your belongings secure and avoid chewing gum while speaking. During dinner, do not leave the table unnecessarily. Amsterdam’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Amsterdam accommodations are some of northern Europe’s best. Before we get to Amsterdam accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.
Dating as far back as 2750 BC, Neolithic and Roman artifacts (Beaker culture pottery & a granite grinding stone) have been discovered in Amstel river bedding beneath Amsterdam’s Damrak and Rokin areas. By about 1000 BC, farmers are believed to have settled along the IJ River. However, a catastrophic event in 1170 AD known as the All Saints’ Flood overflowed large parts of Northern Netherlands and Holland territories. In essence, the flood was responsible for creating modern Amsterdam and its canals, while connecting the area to the open sea. The flood also shifted production from farming to trade. Amestelle was once a 13th-century dam on the Amstel River. During the Middle Ages’ Protestant Reformation, Amsterdam became a popular pilgrimage destination. Amsterdam began to flourish in the 14th century due largely to its trading with the Hanseatic League, a medieval network of merchant guilds and market towns. The Hanseatic League was cut-off in the 15th century, however, on account of a newly established Dutch trade route. Independent from the Hanseatic League, this Baltic Sea trade route guided grain and timber ships. Also around this time, demand for herring spread across Europe. Amsterdam benefitted from its innovations in the the herring fishery, along with its capacity for handling bulk cargo. Moreover, in 1415, on-board gibbing (process of preparing salt herring) and the haringbuis (seagoing fishing vessel) inventions gave the Dutch a monopoly on the herring trade. There is a saying, “Amsterdam is built on Herring bones”, which derives from the city’s transcontinental herring trade system. This trade system helped pave the way for what would become the Dutch Golden Age. In the late-16th century, however, the Spanish-Hapsburg monarchy took control of “The Low Countries”, or Netherlands. The Eighty Years’ War, also known as the Dutch Revolt, was caused by new taxations and religious persecution of Protestants. The war resulted in Dutch independence from Spain. Fleeing from Catholic-Spain’s religious inquisitions, Iberian Peninsula Jews, French Protestant Huguenots and prosperous merchants and printers from Flanders found refuge in Amsterdam. The Dutch Golden Age was revived, and reached its peak, during the 17th century. Amsterdam became the Western world’s wealthiest city. The Dutch East & West India Companies, together spanning almost the entire world, acquired vast overseas possessions. Thus, the Dutch colonial empire was established. Trading its own shares, Amsterdam’s Dutch East India office became the world’s first stock exchange in 1602. The Bank of Amsterdam, which served as a full-service bank and reserve bank for Dutch merchant bankers, was founded circa 1609. Amsterdam was involved in the Atlantic slave trade during the 17th century. The city’s port was a major destination for Dutch slave ships. Amsterdam declined to its lowest level during the 18th and early-19th centuries on account of the Napoleonic Wars. Holland was absorbed into the French Empire. However, a new pseudo-Golden Age ensued in 1815 with the establishment of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. Museums, railway systems and a concert hall were constructed, and the Amsterdam–Rhine and North Sea canals were dug. The canals provided Amsterdam with unprecedented nautical access to mainland Europe, as well as the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. During World War I. Amsterdam suffered from food shortages. After the First World War the city recovered and even expanded until May 10, 1940, when Nazi Germany invaded and took control of the Netherlands. During Nazi occupation, Anne Frank hid in the “Secret Annex ” at the back of her father Otto’s business premises on the Prinsengracht canal, but ultimately was discovered and sent off to concertation camps. Akin to the First World War, Amsterdam’s food, and also fuel, supplies were scarce by the end of World War II. Sugar beets, tulip bulbs and even cats and dogs were cooked to a pulp and consumed for survival purposes. On May 5, 1945, Canadian forces liberated Amsterdam. Although prostitution has existed in De Wallen (red-light district) since around 1270, the area’s red-lit windows date to the 1960s. Thriving to this day, the city’s cannabis coffee shops started appearing in the 1970s. Amsterdam’s first coffee shop, Mellow Yellow, opened in 1972. Amsterdam’s first skyscraper, Rembrandt Tower, was completed in 1994. Amsterdam prostitution was formally legalized in 2000. Around 10 million people visited Amsterdam in 2012. Five years later, annual visitation eclipsed 17 million people.
The Netherlands’ capital and most populous municipality, Amsterdam today is home to around 850,000 “Amsterdammers”. Over 60 miles of canals, 1,500 bridges and nearly 90 islands help inspire the city’s nickname, Venice of the North, where houseboats are commonplace. Amsterdam’s canals undoubtedly served as inspiration for two of the city’s most famous inhabitants, Rembrandt and Vincent Van Gogh. Not far south of Amsterdam Centraal Station is De Wallen. Amsterdam’s cruise port is located on the IJ River also near Amsterdam Centraal Station. Cruise lines operating in Amsterdam include Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises and MSC Cruises. Schiphol Airport often ranks as Europe’s third-busiest airport. Amsterdam’s tallest buildings are Rembrandt Tower (492 feet) and Mondriaan Tower (403 feet). Several publicly-traded companies have based their European headquarters in Amsterdam. Defined by an oceanic climate, Amsterdam experiences moderate, sometimes hot, summers and fairly mild winters. August summer high temperatures average just over 72°F, while January winters stay just above 43°F. Snowfall typically is minimal. Additional points of interest are Dam Square, Grachtengordel (historic district – 17th-century canals, architecture), Keizersgracht canal, Reguliersgracht canal, Rembrandtplein (square), Hortus Botanicus (botanical garden), Eye Filmmuseum, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, H’ART Museum, Royal Theater Carré, Stadsschouwburg (theater), Royal Concertgebouw (concert hall), Zuidas (business district), Euronext Amsterdam, Westerkerk (Protestant church) and University of Amsterdam. Local foods include herring, cod, kibbeling (battered fish), stamppot (mashed potatoes mixed with vegetables), Gouda cheese, Dutch pancakes (thinner, crepe-like – topped with fruit), stroopwafel (wafer cookie), oliebol (fried dough) and rijsttafel (Indonesian-inspired array of small plates). Keep in mind that a frituur (aka friterie, frietkot, frite) is a fast food restaurant that specializes in fries. Popular drinks are vodka, jenever (juniper-flavored liquor), advocaat (eggnog-like, brandy-infused custard) and lager beer. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Amsterdam accommodations that will help make for an exciting trip.
