Amsterdam Travel Guide - Travel and Leisure

With 60 miles of canals and nearly 7,000 buildings dating from the 18th century or earlier, Amsterdam is one of Europe's best preserved cities-the center has barely changed since Rembrandt's time. Yet it's no mere museum piece: T+L's Amsterdam travel guide shows that, alongside the historic monuments and Old Masters, the city is a modern capital with all the trappings a traveler could want, including a wide range of hotels, innovative restaurants, and stylish shopping.
