What can one say about Amsterdam? It has many aspects to draw the crowds; its home of the Vincent Van Gogh and Rembrandt Museums, the Anne Frank House, and many other cultural aspects. Then there are the canals throughout the city, the houses on the canals, and many other interesting examples of architecture. It also has its' famous seedy side, the Red Light District, sex museums, and coffee shops that allow marijuana. Just like the Red Light District, I guess there is something for everyone!
