But to get the most out of your stay in the capital of the Netherlands, here are the top three ways to get around town

Amsterdam is known as the Venice of the north

To taking the scenic route for over 160 canals is a great way to check out the city

From boat level, you'll even get to see a whole new set of architectural details like the ornamentation on the bridges

Hop on a canal bus or take a canal tour to check out the city's monumental buildings that frame the canals

Hop off of the dock close the major attractions like the Rijk museum and the Leidseplein

Discovering Amsterdam by foot is also the top choice

Most of the attractions are within walking distance from each other

You can easily walk from the Dam Square to the Museumplein in 40 minutes

Not only a great way to get fit about walking through the narrow alleys and cobblestone streets,

you'll find random art installations and hidden architectural gems

This is a city that rewards the aimless wanderer

Amsterdam is bicycle-mad,

with over 600,000 bikes and 249 miles of bike lanes and paths in the city

The bicycle boom in Amsterdam started in the late eighteen hundreds

Since then it's been a favorite form of transportation not only for the locals but also for the tourists

Rental companies offer a range of bikes, from the granny bike, the cargo bike, and the four-seater bike

Once you're up and rolling, you'll see the city from the whole new angle
