			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are hoping to spend less money than usual on your holiday this year, it is worth considering going private, and booking your stay through a website that lists apartments and houses you can rent direct from the owner. Indeed, on sites that offer these services, you can find <a href="http://www.wimdu.co.uk/prague">holiday accommodations in Prague (Czech)</a> or <a href="http://www.wimdu.co.uk/barcelona">furnished apartments in Barcelona</a> at a fraction of the price a large hotel chain can offer, with each property available offering a unique stay that is off the usual tourist tracks.</p>
<p>To ensure the site you are using is reliable there are a few simple steps you can take. First of all, every room or property on offer should have a detailed description of all the facilities on offer and what services are included in the price stated. Booking and payment pages should be secure. Sites that ask you to send cheques made out to an individual or a name that is different from the name of the website should be avoided. Reputable sites often have extensive FAQ sections, which explain the payment process and how they ensure that every listing on the site is genuine. If basic information is not easy to find, the site may not be legitimate.</p>
<p>A lot of sites ask customers to review their accommodation after their stay. If anyone can leave reviews, you should be suspicious, however, if it is only members with searchable profiles who can leave reviews, you can be certain that the site and the property you are looking at is legitimate.</p>
<p>It is always recommended to book your holiday with a <a href="http://www.which.co.uk/money/insurance/guides/holiday-protection/protect-yourself/">credit card</a>, although if you are booking with a private holiday lettings company, it is worth contacting your credit card company to see what level of protection the transaction will be afforded before you commit to your purchase. Trust your gut- if a deal looks too good to be true, that is probably the case.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Amsterdam: Information and attractions</strong></p>
<p>Internationality characterize the city&#8217;s restaurant scene and image of Amsterdam: you can eat the whole world. In Amsterdam, there&#8217;s no best time. The city is always in season and every season has its own charm. This spring, however, with the proverbial tulips from Amsterdam, has already driven many an amateur gardener with his flowers on the brink of madness.<br />
A trip to Amsterdam starts best with a canal cruise. The investor places the boat companies are, for example, near the train station or the Stadthouderskade. After the first glance we continue on foot. In the center of town is the Museum Amstelkring, called a secret church from the 17th Century. Not far away is the Beurs van Berlage. The architecture of the merchant market revolutionized in the 19th Century predominant architectural style and houses a museum. Almost next to it is the Royal Palace. The magnificent palace serves as the reception of the Dutch queen and can be visited from July to August. Worth seeing is the Anne Frank House, Prinsengracht 267, where Anne Frank hid during World War II. 15 minutes further along the Prinsengracht is the houseboat museum, here one can see the life on a houseboat. About the Berenstraße it goes back towards the center, Begijnhof Spui input, the most famous and largest courtyard in Amsterdam, where the Begijnen live in a kind of Christian community. Along the Amstel river to get to Skinny Bridge, the famous wooden drawbridge, which is a landmark in Amsterdam. A visit to the Heineken Brewery is interesting, and thirst quenching.</p>
<p><strong>The Van Gogh Museum</strong></p>
<p>The Van Gogh museum in a very spartan-looking from the outside concrete block on the Museumplein, the largest one can admire a large Van Gogh exhibition in the world. Shopping in Amsterdam can be everywhere and everything to Elegant-sophisticated, expensive and less expensive. For antique hunters Amsterdam is a paradise. In the Jordaan district can be found in the streets with flower and plant names small bookstores and interesting boutiques. In the Prinsengracht and Herrenstraat sell its Dutch fashion designer. Expensive and exclusive, international designers in the PCHoofstraat in the Van Baerlestraat and Beethovenstraat. The long Kalverstraat is a long shopping street with large and very interesting little shops and shoe shops.</p>
<p><strong>Opening times of shops</strong></p>
<p>The opening times are usually from 09:00 to 18:00 clock, Thursday or Friday to 21:00 clock, Saturday to 17:00 clock. Some shops are open Sunday from noon. In the land of bicycles is a guided bicycle tour but obvious at first glance, nothing special, in Amsterdam, however, it is highly amusing and instructive at the same time. The tours are offered by Yellow Bike. The city tour lasts three hours with 20 minutes break and costs 17?. A reservation about www.yellowbike.nl is strongly recommended.<br />
Eating out in Amsterdam is not always satisfactory, because the<br />
Price-performance ratio is often not true. The listed bars are not cheap &#8211; for two people including wine you have to expect a minimum of 40 € -, but very good:<br />
Djargo, Scheldeplein 18, phone +31 (0) 20 664 20 13, credit cards. Quite excellent Indonesian restaurant, nice atmosphere, like everything in Amsterdam is not exactly cheap.</p>
<p>Moeders Mooiste, Marie Heinikenplein 5-8, telephone + 31 (0) 20 379 0888, credit cards. Nice pub with Dutch dishes, very good for fish and vegetarian, medium prices.</p>
