amsterdam

Hello people!!!
Do you like the cities of Europe? There are a lot of interesting cities but in my opinion the best city is located  in the Netherlands and is called Amsterdam. So let´s explain why.

Amsterdam is the capital and the largest city of the Netherlands and is located in the province of North Holland in the west of the country. The city has a population of 1.36 million of people and very big metropolitan area.

Amsterdam's climate is very good to live. It´s very similar to the British and Irish climate, combining mildness and dampness.

Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands and it's spoken  by over 22 million people as a native language, so if you want to study you can practice it anywhere. In my opinion a very interesting city to visit, especially if you are a student and because of those following factors:


TOURISM
Amsterdam is the 5th busiest tourist destination in Europe, receiving more than 4.2 million international visitors annually.Those numbers speak by themselves but the real reasons for visiting this city are the canals, the museums...

MUSEUMS
The most important museums of Amsterdam are located on the Museum Square, located at the southern side of the city. The museum square was created in the last quarter of the 19th century. It's formed by a lot of museums like the Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum..

In my opinion the best museum that you can visit in this city is the Van Gogh museum because I think that his life and his art works were pasional.

CANALS
The are more than one hundred kilometres of canals in Amsterdam, along with about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges.Iit´s very recommendable to take a walk in a ship around all the canals because it´s really beautiful to see the city on the water.

Here you have some pictures of Amsterdam:
