Amsterdam Trips

As an often-traveling journalist I’m usually in transit in Amsterdam. Far too often I’ve found myself in Schipol airport for four or five hours between flights. Maybe, just maybe, that means enough time to check your carry-ons into an airport loc …

DAY 1 With so much to see and do in Amsterdam, it's often best to just point yourself toward a couple of major areas and wander the laneways and canals. A perfect starting point is Dam Square, the heart of the city. From here you're in spitting …
