The Hotel Europa, located in the city center of Amsterdam provides comfortable rooms, good service, and a location convenient to points of interest. breakfast and meal plans are available in the hotel and four star restaurants lie within walking distance. Travel from this central point in the inner city is problem-free. Taxis are always available. We rely on the easy to decipher bus and train schedules make planning your day and visiting tourist sites a snap. The hotel staff are courteous and give directions and advice with helpful insight only a city resident can offer. The Rijks, Van Gogh and Rembrandt museums are located nearby for those interested in steeping themselves in Old World art and culture. For those interested in the earthier history of the seaport city, the world-famous Red light district is also just a short distance. It provides some excellent inexpensive restaurants catering to a more American taste, such as Mexican food and barbecue if your tastebuds happen to be homesick, not to mention an eyeful of feminine charm. My husband and I are retired and determined to see as much of the world as lies within our realm of possibility. Our requirements are different than businessmen, couples with children, or honeymooners. Affordability, accessibility, comfort and a reasonable amount of convenience determine our decisions. We spend most of our time out of the hotel sightseeing, visiting friends,or exploring restaurants and attractions we haven't gotten around to yet. While the hotel does not offer the widest range of amenities a pricier establishment would, it more than meets our expectations. We sacrifice no comfort for the money we save, which means our vacation can be extended. That's what retirement's all about, isn't it?
