Looking to book a city break? One of Europe\u2019s top destinations has also been described as one of its most walkable.<\/p>\n

According to research from the expert team at Preply, Amsterdam is one of Europe\u2019s most pedestrian friendly cities. Its major attractions are just over two miles walk from each other and tourists can reach them all in under an hour.<\/p>\n

The Dutch capital city is pretty compact, making it easy to explore on foot. The Netherlands has a low rate of traffic accidents and pedestrians and cyclists are usually prioritised on Amsterdam\u2019s roads.<\/p>\n

According to Dutch paper Het Parool, only 19 percent of Amsterdam\u2019s residents actually use a car every day and only a third of residents own one.<\/p>\n

Europe\u2019s \u2018Venice of the North\u2019 is packed with attractions, including the Van Gogh Museum. A Tripadvisor spokesperson said: \u201cFrom its picturesque canals and bridges to its historic homes, Amsterdam is a full-blown fairytale.\u201d<\/p>\n

But all that walking can lead to crowds in popular tourist areas. De 9 Straatjes, is a small neighbourhood of nine streets, packed with boutique shops and cafes.<\/p>\n

However, the neighbourhood\u2019s popularity has meant it gets very crowded, particularly during peak tourist season. \u2018LondonFamily88\u2019 wrote on Tripadvisor: \u201cLots of small shops and eateries, however rather busy and difficult to meander with so many crowds, narrow pavements and bikes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amsterdam has introduced several measures to reduce the number of tourists visiting the city, including a ban on cruise ships in the city centre. There are also plans to move the red light district to the suburbs.<\/p>\n
