Size
Here is a recap of the two cities.
Amsterdam is much smaller than Paris, and the number of inhabitants per km² is therefore much lower.

| Surface | 105,4 km² | 219,3 km² |
| Population | 2.175 millions | 0.851 million |
| Density | 20641 inhabitants/km² | 3506 inhabitants/km² |
Score: +1⭐️ for Amsterdam (the population density is lower there which allows for better traffic and quality of life in general).
Cleanliness of the city
Paris
Paris is not really a good exemple in terms of cleanliness.
Graffiti on the walls, garbage on the sidewalks, dog mess and dirt in the metro…: the city is often criticized for its dirtiness.
As in any large city, cleanliness varies from one neighborhood to another.
Tourist areas, such as the Champs Élysées, are cleaned by private contractors and are often considered the priority areas for cleaning.
Amsterdam
It is not for nothing that Amsterdam hosts the European cleaning trade fair ISSA Interclean every year.
As a true model of cleanliness in Europe, the city offers a pleasant living environment.
In other words, walking around the pedestrian streets of Amsterdam is a real pleasure: there are no papers on the ground, no overflowing trash cans, not even any unsightly chewing gum.
Score: +1⭐️for Amsterdam (we could have even given it⭐️⭐️).
Locals’ friendliness
Paris
Parisians are not exactly known for their friendliness and kindness. In general, they are considered unfriendly and rude.
Amsterdam
Inhabitants of Amsterdam are known to be very warm, open, easy-going, and polite. Of course there are a few exceptions, but on the whole, Amsterdam locals are open and welcoming.
Score: +1⭐️ for Amsterdam (for the smiles).

Paris and Amsterdam attract thousands of visitors every year.
Both are cradles of culture, art and history, they have a good number of monuments and entertainment of all kinds.
However, despite their geographical proximity, the two cities remain very different from each other.
In Paris, chic, luxury and great monuments are the order of the day. Amsterdam on the other hand is a rather bohemian and relaxed city. Paris is considered dirty and the Parisians unsympathetic, while Amsterdam is appreciated for its cleanliness and the friendliness of its inhabitants.
