AMSTERDAM
FAST FACTS
As of last count there were 720,493 people
and 550,000 bikes (you do the math), 160
canals, more than 1,200 bridges, and
some 6,800 landmark buildings. Winter can be
dank and chilly, summer temperatures rarely shoot past 75°F,
and the rain (really more of a drizzle) democratically dampens
through the seasons. Springtime is when every
Amsterdammer holds fast to a bouquet of tulips and the whole
blooming city looks like the lushest spot on Earth. Plus airfares
and hotel rates are lower than in summer. Come Queen's
Day (April 30), the streets are packed with revelers
and the canals bob with activity.
