GOOOOOOOOO CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
by l-e-z-ah
d queen's day is d time of year when d whole Holland simply go crazy... d place to be is the Leidseplein and Museumplein. In the latter, they usually hold a concert by National and International artists....
My advice: wear something orange, wear ur oldest clothes (it's bound to get soaked in beer anyway), drink some beers (don't get drunk if u don't know ur way around), beware of pickpockets, and don't get separated from ur friends (u won't find them until d day's over, mobile phones is of no use during that time) I've spent three Queen's day in Amsterdam, and I always find something new each time.... d last time i was in a bad shape and still insisted to go anyway... i was ill for d next couple of days, but even if i have 2 do it all over again, i'd still go

Just walk around. This is, in my opinion, the best city in the world for simply walking around and taking in the sights. It seems the city planners designed the city to fit the pedestrian instead of the other way around as in most metropolitan areas. Public transportation is relatively inexpensive and abundant. You have everything from water taxis to bicycles. But still the best mode of transportation in Amsterdam is the shoe. At this pace one can take in all the wonderful sights. My fondest memory is sitting along the Prinsengracht in the Jordaan and watching the world go by.
Sites from the Canal

On a canal boat tour during the day, early sites include the New Metropolis Museum at Oosterdok. Numerous barges are also seen along the harbors. The lower picture shows reproduction sailing vessel near the harbor entrance. (Interesting 'coin' story goes along with the canal tour)
Amsterdam Tip
by go_doggo
We attended a free lunch concert at the Het Concertgebouw. These take place every Wednesday at 12:30 but get there early to get a seat! The day we went Julia Bronkhorst was singing and Henk van Lingen played classical guitar. The concert was wonderful and the Concertgebouw is beatiful! I definitely recommend you add this to your itinerary!
