Botanical Garden in Amsterdam:)

The Hortus Botanicus is located on the edge of the bustling city of Amsterdam and is one of the oldest examples of botanical gardens in the world.Visitors can enjoy over 6,000 varieties of plants and 4,000 different species in the gardens as well as seven impressive climate controlled greenhouses. The gardens offer a great respite for visitors from the bustle of downtown Amsterdam. Hortus Botanicus was originally used as a training centre for doctors and pharmacists who trained in herbal remedies in the wake of Europe’s epidemic of bubonic plague. Gardening enthusiasts will experience a resplendent collection of plants at the venue – many of which were brought over to Amsterdam along with herbs and spices by the Dutch East India Company in the 17th and 18th centuries.

 

Hyde Park – ing during shopping :d

Last weekend I was in London to visit my sister. She took me to Hyde Park as she wanted to show place to relax in the CIty … yeah…

It`s true that….

It is the most prominent and famous London park. Surrounded from north with area plenty of youth hotels and hostels including Whiteleys shopping centre, with American Embassy, Bond Street, the Intercontinental hotel from east, this park has the best London location from where you can reach main shopping areas.

Being 360 acres in size it can take some time to cross it over. In summer time there is an option of renting a small boat and gently paddling in the lake, having refreshing drink or maybe fishing in certain allocated places.

but…

there`a a lot of people there because of it`s flame So … i recommend it ….only when you are full of energy…

 

Buildings in Amsterdam

the Arcihtecture of an old city is interesting and characteristic for Amsterdam. Buildings are narrow but high. And have always lovely frames:)

 

Begijnhof

The Begijnhof a hidden courtyard of cottages originally built in the 14th-century for a group of pious, charitable women. You’re instantly transported from busy central Amsterdam to a tiny village. You’ll find a well-kept lawn and flower gardens, centuries-old houses, a small medieval church and tall trees whose rustling leaves you can actually hear in the unusual silence.

Also here is Amsterdam’s oldest house (one of the city’s only two remaining wooden houses), dating from 1475. Women still live here, so groups aren’t allowed and guests are asked to visit in quiet reflection.

 

Civic Guards’ Gallery

To see 17th-century Art for Free you just must vistit Civic Guards’ Gallery. Just inside the Kalverstraat gate to the Amsterdam Historical Museum is a glass-roofed walkway that houses impressive 17th-century portraits, on display to the public at no charge.

The subjects of the 15 huge paintings are the Amsterdam Civic Guards that served in the 1600s. The most famous Civic Guard portrait is, of course, The Night Watch in the Rijksmuseum; these paintings have a similar but more formal feel than Rembrandt’s masterpiece.

 

NEMO in Amsterdam

Amsterdam’s NEMO is a green building shaped like a ship. It is the biggest science centre in the Netherlands and offers the chance to take a voyage of discovery into the world of science and technology. This place is perfect for children aged four to 16 and their parents.

A visit can reveal fascinating facts about a variety of things including sound, light, genes and DNA, water, metal, chemicals and the human mind.

The centre covers a broad range of subjects including natural science, human behaviour and information and communication technology. As well as the permanent exhibition, there is also a full programme of temporary shows. Before you leave, don’t forget to check out the centre’s upper deck, which has a magnificent view over Amsterdam and is transformed into a beach during the summer.
