Traveling to Amsterdam

World travelers on the lookout for five star Amsterdam hotels, wondering if they really are as splendid as their reputation, should have no cause for worry, because they truly are.  Of course, this idea should certainly be tested, but the results will be enormously pleasing.  All port cities have a reputation for being warm and welcoming, with a long tradition of hospitality that permeates the aura of the place.  Amsterdam is certainly no exception.

There are many things to recommend the city, with an exceptional taste for style and design, an extremely lively arts scene, a fantastic university, unbeatable social services, and generally speaking, a certain taste for true civility that is hard to find anywhere else on the planet.  The night life is about as exciting as night life can get, with bars and discos and restaurants, and all sorts of attractions and distractions that make any visitor’s eyes go wild with wonder at it all.  Amsterdam has thousands of hidden sides, with all sorts of secrets that only the seasoned travelers seem to know right off the bat.  But the city structure is such that most of these secrets are freely shared, it just takes the right questions.  One secret however, that may not be so widely publicized, is that if traveling the city by car, be sure to bring a credit card, because the parking meters in Amsterdam do not accept cash.

This decision affects the 600 meters in the center of town.  They are all designed now to accept cards only, due to excessive vandalism and fraudulent claims that the meters were broken.  Now, in order to use the parking meters , the visitor will have to swipe their card, and enter the license plate number on a touch screen.  This should certainly cut down on the attempts to empty the meters for cash, and help the city to run just that much more
