I have been to the netherlands capital many times, but it was usually on business and even though I knew the districts, I was not quite conscious of just how enchanting and impressive that city is if you travel with your household and loved ones. Thus, for our fifth celebration, I made a decision to take my spouse and my daughter on a long weekend in Amsterdam.

I arranged the plane seats and booked a holiday Amsterdam apartment from a website that I found an easy task to navigate and basic to book. The serviced Amsterdam holiday residence that I picked was really carefully picked, as I required Anna and our child Ellie to be close to the primary landmarks and yet to be able to return to the apartment easily if they need to.

Once we got there in the capital of Netherlands, we were all happy, since this was our first true family vacation, because until now Ellie was too small to travel with us. Thus, we settled in our Amsterdam apartment, left our baggage and were keen to go out again.

The very first thing we did that day was to take a canal cruise, as the canals in Amsterdam are symbolic representation of the city that build its romantic charm, revealing spectacular panoramic scenery. There are lots of canal cruises to select from in Amsterdam, but we decided to take a larger vessel, where we also had the chance to dine.

That afternoon we spend in the old town and the main zone of the city, which are close to our Amsterdam apartment. The centre is small and is pleasant to explore by walking. It offers great architecture which is a fest for the eye, several bridges and significant amounts of cafes, elegant restaurants and small parks.
