The first thing you should know is that Amsterdam is a beautiful city, but it's also pretty small. The second thing you should know is that Paris is huge. If you're looking for a big city with lots of things to do, then Paris is right up your alley. - Amsterdam has an amazing water system that makes it easy to get around without having to drive everywhere. You can see the entire city on foot or by bike, and there are plenty of bike paths in the city center. - Paris has incredible museums, including the Louvre (which I think is the best museum ever), Versailles Palace, and more. There are also beautiful parks throughout Paris that make it feel like a real city rather than just some buildings all in a row like Amsterdam does sometimes feel.
