Historically Hip Amsterdam ... Where Old Meets New
Part 1
Arrival in Old Amsterdam
After a six-and-a-half hour flight from JFK, I arrived at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam to meet a group of over forty journalists who gathered to see all there was to see in the capital of Holland. After a half-hour bus ride, a third of our group, myself included, arrived at Barbizon Palace Hotel. This renovated Old World style hotel is situated in the heart of the city opposite Central Station, where the trams and railways can take you anywhere you want to go within the city and beyond.
