Long considered the European party capital, Amsterdam has become only slightly less debauched with a recent political turn toward the conservative. And though legalized prostitution and marijuana are still at the forefront of most tourists’ minds, the compact city (one of the smallest capitals in the EU, with less than one million inhabitants) presents other physical pleasures as well. By renting a bike (or boat), you can easily navigate the narrow city streets as well as the diked-in surrounding countryside. Ride westward out to the former island of Ruigoord, for instance, and discover an artists’ collective preserving the spirit of the 1970s.
