Amsterdam Is A Haven For Music And Much More!
09/08/2007 08:09 a.m.
The effect of music on the emotions cannot be emphasized enough. Contemporary music, choral music, dance music, classical music - all music affects us. Regardless of what music styles are your preferences, Amsterdam is an amazing source of varied musical experiences which your travel agent can help you discover.
You can have your senses renewed by being in the audience for the world famous Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, at the finest acoustically engineered concert hall in the world or head for the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, the city's newest musical showcase for contemporary classical and chamber music with exceptional acoustics of its own. If you've got a hankering for some world-class jazz and improvisation, then the renowned Bimhuis is right next door.
However, if your idea of music is stomping up and down with 52,000 of your closest friends, then the Amsterdam Arena is your venue, a magnificent multipurpose stadium where you can enjoy concerts by some of the most famous superstars on the planet. If you prefer your superstar concerts in a bit more intimate setting, then the Heineken Music Hall will definitely fit the bill. Check with your travel agent for the latest lineup of world-famous musicians offering concerts at these venues.
An animated, thriving and unique city closer to Norwich than London is, Amsterdam has a whole lot more than just music to offer. You can reach a Louvre-type overload of masterpieces, as the Museum Het Rembrandthuis, the Stedelijk Museum, the Rijksmuseum or the Van Gogh (pronounced Van Gock) Museum beckon you to immerse yourself and explore some of the greatest masterpieces on Earth.
Summers are magnificent in Amsterdam and you can enjoy the outdoors as you pass under a number of the over one thousand bridges in Amsterdam during an excursion in a glass topped canal boat through the four main canals of the city. A host of other activities include finding amazing deals at the Waterlooplein flea market, enjoying the flowers of the Singel Flower Market or even meandering through De Wallen also known as the Red Light District if you’re interesting in enhancing the more sensual aspects of your trip. Although please keep that indoors!
Jenever Dutch gin served at a brown café can help you unwind from all the activities, and Rijsttafel offers up to 30 small Indonesian dishes to tempt your tastebuds which you simply must savor. As a grand finale, you can take a trip to the local "coffeeshop" where instead of engaging in the traditional act of sipping rich, hot coffee, you will enjoy the meaning of the term coffeeshop in Amsterdam: a place to enjoy smoking perfecly legal cannabis! Your travel agent can provide all the details and bookings so you can enjoy Amsterdam in style.
