I've only spent 3 days in Amsterdam and I enjoyed the ability to walk the city. I covered quite a bit of ground there and most of the areas were void of cars. Pretty great for tourists; although I'm not sure how much locals like the tourists.

I think I was in "the ring", if we're talking about the adjoining canal systems that circle around the center part of the city.

"the ring" is considered the freeway that encircles the city.

And the ring of canals is called the "grachtengordel". I challenge any non-Dutch-speaker to try to pronounce that.
