Synopsis
Amsterdam's compact layout is perfectly tailored to a small person's needs. The guide romps through the city's circuses, theme parks, theater museums and zoos; as well as the simple child-friendly pastimes it offers, including boat trips on its canals, cycling expeditions along its bicycle lanes and rides on its clanging trams. From the much-visited Anne Frank Museum to Amsterdam's new hi-tech science museum, the city has enough attractions to rival neighboring London and Paris, both just a couple of hours away. The guide also features day trips into Holland, such as the De Efteling theme park, with its Enchanted Forest, Snow White's cottage, and elfin domains.
