In June 2014 I went for the first time in the Netherlands, and more specifically in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam knew fame early from high school.
The Dutch capital is known to be a very libertine city, where alcohol, drugs and sex are much more liberalized.
In fact, in Amsterdam there are many Coffee Shop, or the shops where cannabis is sold to be consumed at the time, as were the pubs / bars of soft drugs.
Having survived a bit 'old for such things, I avoided those places, but for sport I tried a drink taste cannabis energy (cmq a hoax, there were no drugs in it: p).
As for sex, Amsterdam prostitution can be said to be practically legal.
There are red areas of the city, where instead of having these young ladies on the street, are literally put on display :)
Making pictures in theory would be prohibited by law, but just because if you get caught you menano: p
Amsterdam is still a fairly expensive city, at least as an accommodation, so this time we opted for a different arrangement from the usual: a camp outside the city.
Out of town, but accessible by subway, so why throw away money when you can stay in touch with nature? :)
The accommodation at this camp site ranging from simple tent, the caravan, the lodge as we took us to the super accessiorata house that costs like a downtown hotel: p
E 'was still good to see circular rabbits out of the window of our house, and take walks in nature and in ponds.
My 2-year trip to Amsterdam does not remember all the details of course, then I will quote you the most beautiful things I've seen.
Starting from the center, you can admire the beautiful train station, then take a detour to see a panorama of the city from the Nemo bibliotheek.
After the panoramic view, the real ride into town.
Amsterdam can be turned mostly on foot, but eye to the many bikes that are out there.
Li works as we have for the machines, meaning that a car hits you if you cross without looking ... with bicycles is the same if you walk on the bike without paying attention: p
The peculiarity of Amsterdam, in addition to its historical buildings from the pointed roofs, are the many canals that flow through, one is the best.
I must say that in terms of channels Amsterdam has nothing to envy to the beautiful Venice.
After touring for a long time for the Amsterdam streets, you can not help but give a little visit to the Anne Frank House.
I highly recommend to book before the exact time of the visit via the Internet, not to be forced to also throw two hours queuing :)
I do not remember if there was a prohibition on making the photos inside, the fact is that unfortunately I have not documented the home that all of us have seen at least once in the movies ... brrr to think that this is not just a movie ...
But then, we go to Holland and we do not see even a windmill or a field of tulips?
For all colored flower fields it was not the season, but for the mills I remedied with a nice outing in a half-day train (in a place of which I can not remember the name).
Amsterdam does not obviously lack the parks and green spaces.
One above all: Vondelpark, full of sculptures and animals.
Below a couple of videos filmed in Amsterdam:

Amsterdam is one of the European cities that I liked best.
It 'true that for better or worse the great European capitals resemble a bit' all, with their channels and the historical centers, but Amsterdam has something extra.
I almost one day I will be back, maybe: p
I leave you with the inevitable photo album.
