There are 800,000 people in the city of Amsterdam and 1,000,000 bikes. It cost 50 Euros a day to park a car in the city so most people ride their bikes. It is 100,000 Euros for a parking spot outside your house and Amsterdam supposedly has the most expensive parking in the world. This is a picture of a parking deck that is used for bikes rather than cars.
Amsterdam is famous for their Heineken and are proud of their Heineken Brewery. During the tour we learned that their beer is made up of 93% water, hops, barley, and yeast, as well as their "secret ingredient." It was a self guided tour that explained the history behind the family business. We were able to see, taste, and smell the barley and hops as well as experience the brewing and bottling process.
During the Candlelight Tour of the Red Light District we were taken through canals that were lined with houseboats. The houseboat itself is not expensive compared to the square meter price mentioned earlier, however the property, due to location, is insanely high.
