Lonely Planet Amsterdam City Guide 1.1

“Best for curious and independent-minded travellers.” - Wall Street Journal

Bust the ‘Dam wide open with Lonely Planet’s Cityguide on your iPhone!. We want you to love the Venice of the North as much as we do, so we’ve put in over 42 days of independent research to update this guide, scouring Amsterdam from the canals of the Jordaan to the greenery of the Vondelpark. Whatever your pleasure: dreaming in front of the Dutch Masters at the Rijksmuseum, kicking back at a coffeeshop or a cycling tour of the city’s rich architectural heritage, we’re with you every step of the way!

This essential guide has been retooled to get the maximum from your iPhone. Features include: comprehensive, interactive maps that allow you to pinpoint your proximity to the best venues in the vicinity; in-depth chapters on Amsterdam’s history, architecture, festivals and famously liberal culture; hundreds of the best, personally-reviewed venues, including top accommodation picks to suit all budgets; interviews with locals to give you a sense of what makes Mokum (‘city’) such a cherished place; and lavish, high-res photos to let you do some dreaming in advance. And don’t let internet roaming costs spoil the laissez-faire Amsterdam vibe: our Cityguides are designed as fully stand-alone apps. Fantastisch!
