Amsterdam, the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands, is one of
the most popular travel destinations in the world, famous for its beautiful canals,
top art museum, cycling culture, and Red Light District. Here are some of the key
points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.
Must-See Attractions
Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is
full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want
to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great
for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark.
The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van
Gogh Museum. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was
originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a popular place for celebrity
spotting and nightlife today.
Transportation
Travelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the
busiest airports in the world. This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest
of city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station,
which has many connecting routes. It’s typically not a good idea to drive a car to
the city center because traffic is heavy and parking is difficult to find. Cycling is
incredibly popular here, and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around
town. Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and is a great city to explore on foot.
Money Saving Tips
Unless you really want to see the tulips( 郁 金 香 ) blooming, avoid booking
between mid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.
Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District, where rates are
generally cheaper than in the city center.
Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.
Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and
will give you a unique point of view of the city.

rental cars before you book.

Twelve years ago, a young traveler named Rhett Butler from San Francisco,
California, visited the Sabah rainforest on Malaysian Borneo. In one area of the
rainforest, he watched a bird flying through the trees. The beautiful sight left quite
an impression on him. But weeks later, back home, Rhett Butler got the news that
trees had been cut down in the area he visited.
That experience led Rhett Butler to begin writing a book about rainforests
and threats to their existence. But he did not publish the book. Instead, in 1999, he
used his research for the book to create a website. The site is Mongabay. Com. His
purpose was to inform the public about tropical rainforests. But the subject
quickly developed. As a former businessman, he became a respected writer of
science and environmental stories.
The popularity of Mongabay. Com attracted advertisers. Small ads on the site
pay for its operations. Mongabay. Com has grown and led to other sites. For
example, there is a site for children which is called kids. Mongabay. Com. Another
one, WildMadangascar. Org, is all about the island nation that Rhett Butler calls
his favorite place.
To keep his website going, he travels around the world on several major trips
each year. His working tools are a laptop computer, cameras and sometimes diving
equipment. He often calls on experts for information. For example, he interviewed
Alison Jolly, a top experts on lemurs( 狐 猴 ). He interviewed Rodney Jackson, a
biologist who established the Snow Leopard Conservancy.
Stories like these have made Mongabay a favorite place on the Internet for
researchers, students and teachers. In April, Time. Com named it one of the fifteen
top climate and environment websites in the world.
