Welcome to the first day of your trip to Amsterdam!
This city is built on more than 11 million wooden piles hammered into swampy soil back in the 17th century — which is why the historic center literally “floats” but has been standing for hundreds of years.
What will happen today:
• NEMO Science Museum — an interactive museum in the shape of a ship where science becomes a game and one of the best panoramic views in Amsterdam opens from the roof
The Tropenmuseum is one of Europe's most profound museums about world cultures, which does not just show exhibits, but explains how the history of colonialism influenced the modern world.
• ARTIS (Amsterdam Zoo) is one of the oldest in Europe, where science and nature intertwine right in the heart of the city.
Interesting fact: Amsterdam has officially more bicycles than residents, but at the same time it has one of the smallest quantities of cars among European capitals. The city deliberately “weaned” people away from cars for decades — and today it is considered one of the most successful urban experiments in the world.
Have a good walk!
