Amsterdam is also famous for Red Light District. Indeed, Amsterdam.info describes it as “Amsterdam prides itself, and rightly so, on its wholly liberal and tolerant attitude, embracing the fact that people may be into prostitution, soft drugs and pornography. And that it is only human. So instead of criminalizing everything, they enjoy the honesty of it all.”
Well known Hotel chain, Meininger describes Amsterdam’s bicycles like “There are 1.2 million bikes in this city, but only around 821,000 inhabitants. Amsterdam has over 400 km of bike lanes and several storage facilities. 25,000 bikes are thrown or disappearing in the Amsterdam canals every year. Yearly, around 100,000 bikes get stolen. Bikes have the right of way over both cars and pedestrians, make sure to stay out of the bike lanes and be careful when crossing!”
