When you are in a new city and want to blend in with the locals, it is important to find a mode of transportation that does not make you stick out like a sore thumb. Since Amsterdam is renowned for its bicycle-friendly atmosphere, Bike City offers tourists a reasonable rental service with several different options, from 1-speed to 7-speed bikes. This variety allows the customer to pick the best vehicle for each trip, whether it be around the city or in the countryside. Rates are reasonable, at around EUR 8.50-11.50 for one full day, and packages for longer rentals are available for those planning a more extensive trip. Best of all, there are no stickers or flags marking the bike as a rental, so you can feel right at home as you tour the city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

If you are between 4 and 17 years of age you can try out the circus life for a day. At Circustheater Elleboog you can learn clowning skills, special circus and clown tricks, make-up skills, as well as juggling and tightrope walking. At the end of the day you perform your circus skills in front of your parents and friends, so they can see that you are a real circus artist. Non-member sessions are always busy, mostly with Dutch kids, but the staff speaks English. Circustheater Elleboog also organises children's birthday parties (call for details).

 House of heads |
Keizersgracht 123 Amsterdam 1015 CJ Netherlands +31 (0)20 551 2512 (Tourist Information) http://www.bma.amsterdam.nl/ad... |
As legend has it, this mansion, built in 1622, was originally the home of a rich merchant, Nicholaas Sohier, who had a deaf maid. One night six thieves broke into the house, but were all beheaded miraculously by the maid. Nowadays, those heads can still be seen prominently decorating the gable roof, giving the house its famous name. It is privately owned today housing offices and private exhibitions.
