Although famous for it's openness of ideas, and general lack of morality, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this city is filled with not only unique history and reputation, but also beautiful architecture, an amazing pedestrian bicycle system, great museums, and even two Christian Youth Hostels! I really enjoyed meeting up with some friends from home and seeing the sights together. It was such a great experience to visit the Van Gogh Museum and see the masterpieces this artist is famous for in person, as well as to discover why he painted, lived and died so uniquely. We also went on a tour of the city learning more about the culture, history, architecture and engineering that allowed this city to be reclaimed from the sea. Overall, I really enjoyed Amsterdam, and was glad to find that it has much more to offer than it's more famous attractions(to some) of just legal marijuana and prostitution.
