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...
207 Reviews One thing never forget in Amsterdam is the river boats. It's the best way to understand the chanal system, see beautiful architecture of Amsterdam and feel the athmosphere. If you like to take photos, select a boat (company) with open area or moving roof. I mine there were none and the windows were...

156 Reviews Situated in the heart of the city centre this famous district is popular with tourists.Covering several blocks of the city south of the Oude Kirk and crossed by several canals.De Wallen consists of a network of alleys containing over three hundred tiny one room cabins rented by prostitutes who offer...

19 Reviews This is not really a restaurant tip, but about a unique Dutch way of selling snacks. I have been fascinated with these "snack machines" since the first time I saw them. An Automat or AUTOMATIEK is a fast food, coin-operated vending machine where simple foods like hot, deep fried snacks and drinks...
Sea Palace - (Floating) Chinese restaurant
26 Reviews We ve just come back from a weekend in Amsterdam. Found this impressive looking restaurant, but were very disappointed. First there was a black hair, in my daughters bowl of soup, the water glasses were dirty, and the food? Well, we ordered a simple dinner, as it was so expensive! Chicken sweet and...
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...
81 Reviews Don't bother! If you can find your way to the Liedesplein (very easy on the tram), then you've done 99% of the work of the so-called guides yourself. All the bars they take you to are within 5 minutes of each other, basically all either on or just off the same street. None of the bars charge a cover...
140 Reviews As a lot of people on this forum say, the tram really is the best way to move around Amsterdam. Especially in the center of Amsterdam. If you have to travel further distances, it might be more convenient to use the subway/metro. If you don't know anything about it, using the tram in Amsterdam can be...

We took the train tickets early hours of the day for departure.We went to the station,check the tickets and departed.In the next stop,the controller entered in the train and look the tickets. He said that our tickets were invalid and...
46 Reviews Where can you buy a typical Dutch souvenir best? In general the Flower Market area offers the most for reasonable prices. From tulips bulps to clog-like slippers. The Waterlooplein has some very good T-shirt offers and other crazy stuff at low prices. Also for postcards this is the place to buy...
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.
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...

21 Reviews The Amsterdam ArenA is home to AFC Ajax, four times winners of the European Cup and a club with plenty of history of playing beautiful "Total Football", meaning in its roughest sense that every player is totally comfortable with the ball and can play in any postion on the pitch. Past famous players...
