What you need to know before you book your airfare and tickets
The city of Amsterdam is very compact and you can easily get around on foot. However when in Rome, do as the Romans, or in this case, the Amsterdammers. For Euro 4.25 per day you can rent yourself a MacBike and explore the town whizzing around the canals on a real Dutch bicycle. There are also some great free sights for you culture vultures. For starters there is a small passage outside the Amsterdams Historisch Museum where you can admire a few works of some great Dutch painters.
