Driving in Amsterdam

First hint: don't.

In Amsterdam everyone rides a bike or walks. A car is a liability. Plus, the picture above

is of the only car I would recommend.  You might see a large car now and then, 

but not often. We did take a taxi and it was a Mercedes, with a driver that 

knew what they were doing.

This same goes for London, Paris, San Francisco and New York.  

All large cities are tough to drive in and worse to park.
