Activities/Attractions: Amsterdam is a city of tolerance and diversity, with a population of around 750,000 people of myriad different ethnic groups and nationalities. The city is built around 165 canals, which provide not only a means of getting around but also living space for the large number of houseboats.
The city comes alive in the summer when the café terraces fill with tourists and locals alike, creating a buzzing and lively atmosphere. People flock to the Vondel park, cruise the canals on boats or ride around the city on their bicycles.

"We've spent a very enjoyable few days getting to know a little of this beautiful city, and I don't think we could have chosen a better place to stay than here. A great apartment, on a fantastic location, we would recommend it to anyone - even the boat trip in the rain."
"The whole family thoroughly enjoyed staying at Anno, fantastic breakfast, excellent advice for sightseeing, the place is super clean and has a sunny and cosy atmosphere. Lovely flowers in the garden. The boat captain is young but experienced - we'll come again!"
"Your family and you have been our true friends for 17 years and we spent several fabulous holidays in Amsterdam staying with you. This renovation seems to be fantastic! We'll do our best to come and see all with our own eyes."
