Amsterdam is known for its canals, bright colored tulip fields, relaxed atmosphere and majority of cyclists. It comes as no surprise that the Dutch capital has been welcoming not just me but several thousand people a year since ages. It is truly one of the most electric cities I have been to.
Stay– We were a group of 5 and preferred staying in a hostel so we could save money there and use it for other fun activities in the city. The rooms were luxurious and made us feel like home. It was well maintained and gave you Amsterdam vibes.( 107 euros for 1 night two days among 5 people, it also included breakfast) Name- WOW Amsterdam. check- https://www.wow-amsterdam.nl/
