Planning Flights To Amsterdam? March 30, 2011 at 2:14 pm
One of the countries I would like to go to see is Amsterdam. As soon as I’ve saved enough money I will be reserving flights to amsterdam for both me and my husband. Precisely why flights to Amsterdam you ask? There are a number of things I would like to go and see there.
I’d love to go explore the Rijks Museum. This particular museum includes a lot of works of famous Dutch painters like Rembrandt. I’d be particularly interested in his “The Nightwatch”. This painting has been discussed for years, but nobody can tell what Rembrandt intended when he painted that. The artwork is a national icon for the Dutch and also a true national treasure. The Rijks Museum is additionally home to probably the most intricate and extensive doll houses ever constructed. It was commissioned through a wealthy lady to be a hobby, a very expensive hobby as she invested thousands of guilders into it and had every item constructed to scale.
One more place I would have to leave time for in organizing my flights to amsterdam is Madame Tussauds. Madame Tussauds contains the most lifelike wax figurines ever made of well-known figures, from royals to sporting stars to famous actors and musicians. It is much like seeing them in real life.
Then there is the Amsterdam dungeon. It is a theatre which portrays re-enactments of things such as life during the plague, Rembrandt’s life, or scenes in the doings of Peter Titelmann. It must be quite some thing to see this first hand but at a safer century.
Aside from these major points of interest would be the churches which go back to the fifteenth century, a number of castle and other fortifications that were part of the original town’s defences in the fifteenth century.
And of course, the red light district. No visit to Amsterdam would be complete without a night touring the red light district. This is about the only place in the world where many things generally regarded as illegal are legal and controlled by the government. Things legal in the red light district are illegal even in the remainder of Amsterdam!
I might have to plan my flights to amsterdam to fall in November, just to view the cannabis Cup, an annual cannabis competition that only takes place in Amsterdam where judges choose which strain of cannabis is best.
Yes, my mind is made up. I need to organise flights to Amsterdam for myself and my hubby in the not too distant future. It seems like an amazing country to go to with a lot of old culture intermingling with brand new in a vibrant splash of colour. There’s so much to see and so much to do that I may just have to book a few weeks stay to manage to get everything done that I would like to get done. Amsterdam might not be for the faint hearted, but it is definitely for individuals who love art, architecture and culture. Amsterdam, ready or not, here I come!
