One word is reason enough to make Amsterdam a must visit city: Rembrandt. But, there is more to Amsterdam than just Rembrandt's house and paintings. From Vermeer and Frans Hals to Escher, Amsterdam is home to enough world-class classical and modern art to satisfy the yearnings of any art lover. And, not to forget the Anne Frank house, where a young girl bequeathed the world a love for freedom and life. But the vibrancy of Amsterdam doesn't reside only in museums. Amsterdam is known as a free, open and relaxed city, and it's apparent in the many cafes where coffee lovers of all ages gather, in the bustling boat traffic on the canals, and walking traffic along the canals. In the great variety of nightlife, from clubs and discos to jazz bars. You don't have to be a lover of architect to appreciate the picturesque gabled homes -- built high and narrow, because taxes were paid according to the width of the home. (Imagine lifting a piano up those stairs.) Amsterdam is a cosmopolitan city that hasn't lost its quaint charm. Visit it from the comfort of your home with your Amsterdam MultiMedia Postcard.
