Pro
a real mixture of happenings - history, partying, out walking in the atmosphere of canals and photogenic buildings and 13 million bicycle, huge partying on Queens Day, top class art.
Con
Those STAIRS!!
In a nutshell
If all you remember is the Red Light District, you've missed Amsterdam. If you don't remember much of anything, you're on the right track...
Red Light District - De Wallen
154 Reviews I've heard so many stories about this place. People say it's a must visit for any tourist and in fact after reading several travel tips, I was convinced that I too must check it out. We found Red Light District by accident. We were walking from Dam Square and to our surprised we were already there....
279 Reviews We found the Anne Frank house to be quite a moving experience if you know the story of this poor girl and her family. The place does have a rather somber atmosphere as one should probably expect considring the subject matter, so perhaps more people should consider this when bringing children here if...
4 Reviews and 484 Opinions We almost stayed here. Looked like a charming hotel, although we didn’t see the rooms. It’s in a...
5 Reviews and 626 Opinions “But New Amsterdam remained comparatively intact. The tongues of nearly every European nation were...
Sea Palace - (Floating) Chinese restaurant
24 Reviews Large Chinese floating restaurants are not an original idea and there are loads of them in many cities in Europe. This one we thought was great, we didn't book and went on a week night and were found a table straight away. There was a good choice of foods and the service was quick so no complains...
18 Reviews The Dutch have these fast food stops called Febo . They consist of lots of little boxes with your choice of fast food inside While most Dutch will say they are horrible, they are very popular. To tell you the truth for a little snack for a couple of Euros the food tastes better than it looks. I...
80 Reviews Casa Rosso is an erotic theater in the Amsterdam Red Light District. The audience is offered an excellent show with good acoustic sound and drink service at your seat. Every night there's an erotic live show, a couple show, striptease, a soft SM show and the Banana show. You are allowed on...
79 Reviews It is on the 11th floor of an old building in the city centre. You have to walk through these old grounds, preferably not on your own. It is a bit weird when you go in. You have to get a lift up to the club, but there are murals of naked women to amuse you until the lift comes down for you. I...
138 Reviews Getting around in Amsterdam is not a big problem. Some of the interesting or must visit places are quite adjacent to one another...walking is very possible. However, some places do need a little bit of traveling but it's no big deal. Trams were everywhere. It's quite tricky to identify the right...
Train - to/from Schiphol Airport
52 Reviews Today, Wednesday, June 1, 2011, we are going to Schiphol for the day with Hans' sister and husband. First we took the IBIS shuttle to the airport. We headed for the Train Tickets section where Nel bought our train tickets. She gets a discount on the tickets, so we paid 2,20 Euros each for a one-way...
45 Reviews It's a souvenir shop, just like others. Plenty of souvenirs sold here. Prices are not much different from others. However, I've looked for a nice t-shirts elsewhere but I was disappointed...they were either too expensive or not that nice looking. This shop however, has a quite good designs of...
23 Reviews This shop is like no other vintage shop I been to! They have everything you could possibly want if you're a vintage lover from a massive variety of vintage to beautiful vintage inspired clothing. It has a very fresh and modern feel yet still has the cosy atmosphere of a vintage loving boutique....
54 Reviews The weed and hash menu is displayed openly for people to see. Look and decide what you want to purchase, or not. It is a CHOICE. Even though they are not really known for their weed, I have heard that the Warm Ears Hash on the menu is some awesome stuff.
26 Reviews There are 2 different kinds of pissoirs in Amsterdam----this is the one where basically you are pissing on your shoes in public behind a round metal guard-----placed regularly around Amsterdam for the gents use....
52 Reviews Wanna explore the Redlight District area in Amsterdam on a safe way? Take a guided tour! Haha, that's right, they give tours in this area. I've beeen in Amsterdam this weekend and bought a tour at: www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com It was very informative, funny and most of all..it was safe!!
62 Reviews I saw tips that you should not buy drugs at all (except the coffeeshops and smartshops) and that it's illegal. That's true. But that's not the mentality of giving tips and information as we are used to in the Netherlands. What I mean to say is for example: if a tourist want xtc, there is no one to...
23 Reviews In the summer this place is heaving with tourists and where there are lots of tourists there are lots of undesirables such as heroin junkies, aggressive beggars, pickpockets and some real ugly looking prostitutes and seriously if you ain't going there for sex there no point going. If you have to go...
30 Reviews I must say I didn't feel trapped by any coffeeshop I visited, and my goal was to visit as many coffeeshops as I could in two weeks. I got to 33, some of them more than once. I have to say that I loved them all for one reason or another. While expensive, The Grasshopper on NZ Voorburgwal and...
11 Reviews There are a lot of rainy days in the Netherlands, but some of those days it rains only a bit for a short while. When it rains harder, it is often also windy, so an umbrella can be blow away sometimes. In that case, a raincoat is better. number of days a month with rainfall (over the last...
Daytrip outside Amsterdam: Volendam / Edam / Marken / Monnickendam
31 Reviews If you are looking to spend a day outside Amsterdam to see Dutch landscape and traditional villages, probably the best choice is to take a trip to villages Edam, Volendam and Marken. All of them are easily accesible by Bus. The bus ticket for entire day which cost only 7.5 Eur is valid for all...
20 Reviews It was my friend Tony's 60th birthday and we (the two of us and our wives) were going to Amsterdam for a long weekend. Arsenal were playing in a pre-season tournament at the Ajax stadium along with Panathinaikos and River Plate. I treated my friend to a ticket for the Ajax v Arsenal game. We were...
32 Reviews In the Red Light Districts of Amsterdam you will find, on any given day, hundreds of girls offering sex for money. Nowhere else on earth are the women so straightforwardly on display, sitting sparingly attired on stools behind windows. Nowhere else except in the other main Dutch cities, because this...

Amsterdam, where the Dutch money is spend
