Showing Ten Must-See Sights: Amsterdam by Mark Green

Did you know that much of modern Amsterdam was underwater until the 10th century, when reclamation work began, allowing the establishment of a tiny fishing village beside the Amstel river? Or that it was the world’s wealthiest city during the Golden Age of the 17th century?

‘Ten Must-See Sights: Amsterdam’ does exactly what it says on the tin, giving you the background and history on the city’s top ten ‘must-see’ attractions. We don’t fill endless pages with hard-to-read maps and difficult-to-download photos; there are ten chapters of text, one on each attraction, all written by our team of experienced travel writers.
