Greetings from Here: Amsterdam

Canals, coffee houses, museums and one of the most welcoming gay scenes in Europe: Amsterdam has long been a destination for LGBTQ travelers, and this Here TV special offers a friendly, on-the-ground introduction to the city. Hosts and local guides including Guy Thielen, Diva Mayday and Paul van der Zanden lead viewers through the neighborhoods, landmarks and nightlife that give the Dutch capital its character, pairing sightseeing with practical advice on getting around, where to stay and how to make the most of a visit. Part of the Greetings from Here travel series, this 25-minute program from 2009 is less a checklist than a postcard, capturing the ease and openness that make Amsterdam a place where queer visitors can feel at home.
