Three hours in my city

Are you planning a stopover at Schipol airport? If the answer is ‘yes’, then visit
Amsterdam. This beautiful city is only a short train journey away. We asked three
people who live there: ‘We have three hours in your city. What are the best things to
do?’
Anika, 26
It depends on the weather. Check the forecast when you arrive at the airport. If the
weather is not good, visit one of our famous cafés. Try some bitterballen – it’s a kind
of Dutch meat snack – or have some pancakes with Dutch cheese. I’m sure you’re
going to love Dutch food. If it’s a sunny day, spend some time at the flower market.
The flower shops are on small boats and it is also a great place to buy gifts. You will
return to the airport feeling happy and with many colourful pictures to look at on your
journey.
Hendrik, 34
Take a ride on a tram. A tram is a kind of electric bus that drives on metal lines in the
road. Amsterdam has a great tram system – I use it every day to get to work. I think
the number 2 route is best for tourists. That’s the tram that drives past many of the
main Amsterdam sights, like the Van Gogh art gallery. The trams leave Amsterdam
Central Station regularly and tickets are not expensive. You can see your luggage is
safe but you don’t have to carry it. And you won’t be stressed about getting back to
the airport in time — you can get off the tram at any stop and return to the station on
tram 2 in the opposite direction. It’s perfect.
Issac, 23
The best way to see Amsterdam is to hire a bike. Everyone in Amsterdam loves to
cycle! You can hire bikes at the main train station – it’s easy. There are also lockers
at the station where you can leave your luggage, although they are quite expensive.
On a bike, you can see Amsterdam’s beautiful buildings and canals. You can see
the old houses very well from the street but a few are also open as museums. If you
have children, visit one of the large parks. Vondelpark has an exciting playground
where children can climb trees.

Example: Amsterdam is _____ Schipol airport.

A a long journey from B quite close to ü C three hours
from

1 Anika says the cafés in Amsterdam are ___________.
