1. The city is built on poles since Amsterdam is below sea level. Previously, they were wooden; nowadays, they are on concrete.
2. Amsterdam has more bridges than Venice.
3. About 2500 houseboats are being lived in along the canals of Amsterdam, and some are available for short terms rental accommodations for tourists.
4. Amsterdam's nickname came from a Hebrew word, Mokum, which means "place" or "city." It's an often-used nickname that comes from the large Jewish population that used to live in Amsterdam.
5. Coffee shops in Amsterdam don't sell coffee. There are surely a lot of great coffee houses in the city but never ask for a coffee shop because it's a term used for places that sell weed.
