Use of "among"

Can someone explain me the use of “among”? Can you give me some examples??

Thanks a lot!!!

‘among’ is like ‘between’ but if there are more than two people or things:
He is the best among my friends.
The town was situated among the hills.

Thank you for your answer. So… do I understand both are sinonims?
