Amsterdam is a special city. There are many places you should not miss during your visit.
Here is our list of the best.
Amsterdam canal ring
The city old centre is formed from canal rings, which give you the feeling of space, freedom
and peace. Walk through these canal streets or better — take a trip by renting a boat yourself.
Another way to explore the Venice of the North is to take a ride on a bicycle. Any way you decide
for—enjoy this city.
The National Maritime Museum
The Maritime Museum is an attractive place to visit, especially with children. With many
attractions in it, this colourful and enjoyable museum will help you understand the history of the
Netherlands—a small nation which was one of the world’s greatest sea powers.
Amsterdam Brown Cafe
When you enter Amsterdam old cafes called Brown, at first it will seem too much from the
past and too crowded, but the atmosphere is unique. Relax and watch— most of people around
will be locals. Feel like one of them — the real Amsterdammers.
Civic Guards Gallery
This gallery is filled with old paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. The exhibited canvas
may be not always the masterpieces of art, but these group portraits of Amsterdam citizens and
their wives are an exquisite (精致的) document of the Dutch civilization and culture centuries
ago.
To avoid waiting lines we advise you to buy your tickets in advance online through our
Amsterdam attractions and museums tickets webpage.

My favorite book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF” which
stands for “stopping finding faults”. I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults. I guess I
somehow inherited this character from my father. Actually many good qualities of my father are
worth admiring except this.
My father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no
one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the
same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in school.
After I had read my favorite book I began to seek “good things” in other people. It has
completely altered my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people,
and I realize everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is
that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let’s admit that we sometimes complain
about our situation. That’s not good. “Believe it or not, people don’t like to listen to negative
opinions.”
One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was
younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how
important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without
considering others’ feeling. I had very few friends and most people considered me as an
“arrogant” person. Now, I find it much easier to make friends after making some changers!

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy
sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times
in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group
