Shaileshwori SharmaMay 25, 2016Great place to just people watch. The vibe and excitement is palpable. Also, if with kids, the pigeons make for quite the entertainment as does the puppet show.

The busy area of Amsterdam, people are walking, driving cars & bicycles, taxis drivers & buses, trams & trains, restaurants & coffee shops. Malls & shopping centers. Hotels & Touristic Centers.
- Very innovative city, using the canals & windmills to pump the water outside. Sustainable transportations by cycling. Walkable city. Very attractive for tourists. مدينة سياحية ممتعة جداً جداً
