Amsterdam In Winter

What is Amsterdam famous for?

Its picturesque canals.

What else?

Its historic gabled houses from the 17th-century Golden Age.

Any other thing which attracts tourists?

It has world-class art museums, liberal culture and vibrant nightlife.

How many tourists visit Amsterdam every year?

About 23 Million!

Wow, for a city with a population of only 1.4 million, it is huge! And what about locals using bicycles?

Oh yes, forgot to mention that. It is a city where bicycles are the primary mode of transport, with locals cycling everywhere. They just secure their cycles to a pedestrian railing and then walk!

Really?

Yes.

How about some pictures?

Sure, here we go! Sharing some recent pictures taken by Ashi, Ghumakkad's daughter. Though winter is not the best time for visiting Amsterdam, yet Ashi's stunning pictures prompted me to create this story. Enjoy.

As we said, winter is not the best time to visit Amsterdam. No sunshine, no flowers. So one has to do with the artificial flowers as in the picture below.

Some things don't change-- like feeding the pigeons in a city square!

Tourists can't do without shopping for Souvenirs
