Since origin, Amsterdam has been very affluent in government affairs. First by ruling the
country through sovereign kingship and then through a constitutional monarchy working
alongside the parliament. Royal palace Koninklijk Paleis of Amsterdam lies near the gorgeous
Damn Square. It is one of the many residents of the current Queen Beatrix which is worth
taking a glimpse of.
Amsterdam is an incredible city lush in history and culture. Explore the oldest house nuzzled
conveniently in the epoch Warmoesstraat street, appreciated for being built by hand 530 years
ago – Fascinating isn’t it? But that’s just not it since the whole capital was built on mud with
supporting wooden poles, the time-worn houses have tilted slightly adding more beauty to this
metropolis. You will be captivated to see Amsterdam’s skyline hugged by these crooked homes.
Sometimes the entire street will be slanted left or right.
Apart from the traditional yearly cycling at the canal, there are so many marvellous places and amusing things one can do here. One of them is the booming art scene in Amsterdam. Rembrandt, Vermeer and Steen are some of the big names with outstanding pieces of enthralling paintings!
Surrounded by “grachtengordel” – the three chief water canals breathing enchantment into this
city have sheltered beautiful boathouses and 1500 antique buildings. All worthy of taking loads
of aesthetic pictures!
