Just in case, if you hear about Mokum, some people state it is a nickname for Amsterdam. Actually people related to Amsterdam, we asked about this, said this name refers to a quarter in the old city center! Parking space in the center is rare and expensive, using public transport like tram, metro, bus or the ferry to Amsterdam North is advisable. An other nice way to discover the city is by water on a rented water bike, on foot, or by a canal boat. One of the major gateways to Europe is AMS Schiphol Airport. From the train-station at Schiphol Airport it needs 15 minutes to the Central Station. A taxi from the airport may cost about 35€.

Bed & Breakfast, the lowcost way to travel. After budget hotels, the Bed & Breakfast (B&B) segment is slated to create the next buzz in the domestic hospitality industry. This Dutch travel lodge site meets the demands of housing for leisure travelers. For footloose foreign tourists and people, B&B hotels and Dutch Inn's offer home-like environs with personalised service at economical rates in a large quad, triple, twin room or a family Bed and Breakfast. This is where the B&B segment fits the bill. Though running B&B is an out and out private sector affair. In most European and US markets, the B&B segment accounts for anywhere between 20% and 40% of the total hospitality sector market. B&B's are essentially family-managed, with a few select rooms dedicated for guests offering basic personalised services. Internationally, the tariff points, targeted at budget travelers, prices range between $25 and $60 per room per night and person, offering no frills services with a home flavour. The personal and family touch in B&B hotels is what sets them apart from the rest. For instance, farm tourism can help farmers augment their incomes, while giving city slickers a first-hand feel of rural life. Currently, paying guest accommodations in major metros and tourist centres mostly cater to backpackers from overseas. The B&B segment is a very vibrant sector in the international hospitality industry. As the action in the B&B segment hots up, leisure travellers certainly will look forward to this home away from homes.
