Subject: My Amsterdam trip
Hi Clara,
Greetings from Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands. You know it is one of the most popular tourist destinations
in Europe. It attracts more than 4.5 million tourists from all over the world every year. Amsterdam has a great history.
It's very unique for its large and untouched historic center. It is a meeting point for all different cultures around the world
and has a welcoming attitude towards visitors. It is famous for its canals, beautiful houses, coffee shops, museums and
bridges. Amsterdam has more canals than Venice and you can enjoy your tea or coffee in amazing cafés along the
canals. People in Amsterdam mostly use their bicycles to go somewhere. I think Amsterdam is one of the most impressive
cities I've ever visited. But the weather is usually cold and rainy here. The best time to visit the city is spring and summer.
By the way, Amsterdam doesn't have many different types of accommodation, and bed and breakfast hotels and hostels
are the best options for every budget. If you want to visit Amsterdam one day, don't remember that almost everything in
the city is very expensive and you need lots of money for a good trip.
Lots of love,

Mandy
