Weekend Escape

Built around the tight schedule of a brief trip, this guide shows how to meet Amsterdam in a handful of days. Each chapter takes one neighborhood at a time, describing its personality, customs and everyday rhythm. Readers get a set of walking routes past the city's main sights, along with a curated list of hotels, restaurants, cafés and bars. A thorough shopping section and plenty of practical travel information round out the content.

The book is small enough to tuck into a coat pocket or daypack. Its many color photographs and maps help travelers orient themselves quickly, making it easier to make the most of each day.
