Car Hire in Amsterdam City - Mini guide to Amsterdam City

Amsterdam City is a well-loved European travel destination frequented by millions of tourists from around the world every year. This city in the Netherlands is known for its rich culture, interesting architecture and its modern entertainment options. While the city centre is best experienced on foot or riding a bicycle, many travellers still opt to arrange for car rental in Amsterdam City for those excursions outside downtown.

Walking or biking is the best mode of transport in the city centre. From here, tourists can easily access some of the most notable landmarks around the area. The canal ring which was constructed in the 17th century is the most prominent feature of the city. On the old historic centres, visitors will find two medieval houses and the Begijnhof which is home to women who live in a semi-religious community. When it comes to modern architecture, a drive to the Eastern Docklands with a cheap car hire in Amsterdam City is in order.

The city also features a number of museums that house extensive collections on various subjects from porn to art and even cannabis. The most popular include the Allard Pierson Museum, Anne Frank House, the Diamond Museum, Hermitage Amsterdam and the Filmmuseum for historical and contemporary films.

Arranging for car hire in Amsterdam City also allows visitors to take day trips outside the city. Less than 45 minutes from downtown Amsterdam are notable destinations such as the fortified town of Weesp, Naarden, and Muiden. Zaanze Schans features historic windmills and open-air museum.

Amsterdam City is served by Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, one of the world's busiest airports. The air facility offers flights to several destinations in Asia, Europe and the US. Trains coming from other European cities also go through Amsterdam through the Centraal Station.
