The architecture in Amsterdam is amazing. The city didn’t have as much WWII destruction as other European capitals, so the historic buildings remain today
Walking through the Red Light District is definitely an Amsterdam experience and something you will not soon forget.
The canals of Amsterdam are part of what sets the city apart from other European capital cities. Amsterdam has over 30 miles of canals, creating 90 islands that are connected with over 1,500 bridges.
Amsterdam has a ton of great museums. The Rijksmuseum has Dutch art and history, the Van Gogh Museum, the Anne Frank House, the Rembrandt House Museum and so many more

Locals complain about:

Dodging bicycles in Amsterdam can be a real pain. Buses, cars, and trams all obey traffic rules, but the bikes in Amsterdam do not
Amsterdam is a great city to visit, even with kids, but you’ll want to avoid foreigner weekender crowds as much as possible
There are tons of hostels in Amsterdam, but finding a regular hotel in Amsterdam can be challenging. There aren’t many moderately priced hotels in Amsterdam
