Travel deals, gift ideas, things to do and see. Very hip, inspirational portal to travel knowledge.
Things I want to do in Amsterdam:
1. Rent a Bike
Amsterdam is made for cycling. With special bicycle traffic lights and bicycle lanes it is the fastest and cheapest way to travel in and around the city. Biking is also convenient, safe and lots of fun. Whatever your age, you will see more by bike! MacBike rents out top-quality bicycles for you to explore Amsterdam in a typical Dutch way: on a bicycle! Rental prices start as low as 11 euros a day. Link: www.macbike.nl/english
2. Eat Cheese
The Dutch are famous for their cheese and have been producing it long before 400 AD. If you want to buy some cheese during your stay in Amsterdam, you should go where the locals go, De Kaaskamer. This shop has a wide variety of Dutch cheeses and even foreign cheeses. One piece of advice before you decide what to buy; do some sample tasting and have the sales person vacuum wrap your cheese so you can import it into the US without any problems. Runstraat 7 (nine little streets area) Amsterdam.

3. Be Surrounded by Tulips
If you are looking for flowers, there is only one place to go: The flower market at the Singel canal. At this market along the Singel canal you can find any type of flower at very affordable prices. There is also a huge collection of tulip bulbs for sale, which in case you decide to buy some, can be shipped to your home address. Link: Tulips
4. Shop for Artistic Shoes
Jan Jansen Shoes: The shoes at this trendy shop are not just shoes: they're a work-of art, designed by acclaimed artist Jan Jansen.
