If it´s something Amsterdam has succeeded in, it is to keep the cozy factor despite a population of over 800,000 people. Perhaps it is a combination of well-preserved architecture from the 17th century and the lack of car traffic due to the city’s many canals that keeps the feeling of small-scale. Rent a bike to easily get through the city. There are many places where you can rent a bike for a whole day for around 10 euros.
