Pros: Just so much to go and do and see. Cons: Makes for a mighty long review!
If you need variety in your vacation then a short stay in Amsterdam will probably fit the bill. Amsterdam is a city with many activities to choose; from blatant sex tourism to culture, from wandering down bustling busy city streets to cycling down quiet ...
Pros: Easily accessible from the US and other parts of the world. A compact city! Cons: Accommodations are expensive, but you could stay in the surrounding areas for less!
Picturesque Amsterdam, famous for its canals, culture, museums, decadent nightlife, and the list goes on! One thing is certain, Amsterdam is one of the most diverse and exciting cities on the continent. In my opinion, what makes Amsterdam ...
My husband and I arrived slightly hungover one cold morning in Amsterdam without any real plans. We were going to start our vacation by being adventurous and taking the train to some hotel we saw advertised in the baggage claim area, but the crappy...
Pros: Kosher restaurants everywhere, Joods Historisch Museum, Anne Frank Huis Cons: Dutch Resistance Museum closed Mondays
Amsterdam is a city proud of its Jews and their heritage. It was so nice to see because unfortunately this isn't a trait shared with many other cities.
Amsterdam proudly displays its 16th Century synagogues alongside its art enclaves and is...
Pros: Beautiful city, wonderful people, great beer Cons: I'm not there anymore
Amsterdam is a beautiful and historic city. One will almost immediately conjure images of windmills and canals. It is also a city filled with wonderful, tolerant people who enjoy good beer. As a beer geek, that is quite appealing to me. It would ...
Pros: Water, water, everywhere! Interesting architecture, so much to do and see, great food! Cons: Could be cleaner, just about everyone smokes (something!).
Europe called once again! This time, we were to attend a wedding in northern Germany and, on a whim, decided to fly to Amsterdam first, to spend a few days in a city which had, up to now, eluded us. Amsterdam has managed to garner quite a reputation an ...
Pros: Moving,a warning for future generations Cons: none
One of the most moving experiences I have had while travelling was a visit to the Anne Frank House and Museum, at 263 Prinsengracht, in Amsterdam. I had read the book and seen the movie on numerous occasions, but nothing prepared me for...
Pros: Amsterdam is a great city to explore. Cons: December in Amsterdam is cold and windy!
I was supposed to travel with my good friend Cate in October of 2001. Because of the world events, that didn't quite come off but instead we decided to meet in Amsterdam between Christmas and New Year's because a) she had never been there b)I like the...
Pros: Takes great pictures, and you must go to the Anne Frank House Cons: Dirty, Everyone smokes, over-rated
Our daughter "highly recommended" Amsterdam, as a city that we would love, so a year ago, we took her advice, as well as her, and thought we would find out what it was that made it an HR in so many people's book of travels. The good news was, we had free...
Pros: Lovely and lively city streets, great museums, live and let live attitudes, friendly locals Cons: Permissive attitudes toward sex and drugs might disgust conservative travelers. Unpredictable spring weather.
I'm not going to sugar coat it, my first day in Amsterdam was a living hell. Jet-lagged and cranky from an awful flight, I hoped the kind taxi driver would plunk me right into the Amsterdam of my travel books; blue skies, charming canal houses, and...
Pros: unique sites, Cons: a little intimidating due to the nature of the adult activities
Review Topic: Overview
I have traveled all over Europe and the most unique spot along the way was Amsterdam. The have everything from legalized drugs to the Anne Frank museum. The city is open and honest about what it has and...
Pros: There is much to do and see regardless of your tastes Cons: A bit busy, could be a bit seedy for some.
I'll admit it. As much as I like to think that I have risen above the sheltered Midwest surroundings that I grew up in, I am still product of it. So I hang my suburban head when I confess that my mental image of Amsterdam before I went over came from...
Pros: The best way to explore the city. Cons: You'd better be a good biker or every local will know you are a tourist.
Bicycle is a #1 transport in Amsterdam. Not a mountain bike and not a 27-speed sports bike--just a regular old-looking plain bicycle. It's likely that most bicycles on the Amsterdam roads would be found on the sides of the roads (abandoned) in the...
Pros: Nice people, good food, good beer and some wonderful history Cons: Stoners, not antiseptically clean (which to me is a Pro)
If you're a Brit you will be aware of the hilarious Harry Enfield sketch of the two Dutch police officers. "Hallo dere! It's me Captain Stefan Van Der Haast Graacht of the Amsterdam Police again. Viz my partner - and also, I'm very happy to say, my lover ...
Pros: History, museums, scenery, drunken misbehaving. Cons: Expensive, drunken misbehaving, crowded, dirty, no green spaces, polluted canals.
I should probably be out enjoying the weather, seeing as I’ve finished the interesting piece of fiction I call my “taxes,” however, whenever I hear “Young Americans” by David Bowie, I get all introspective.
Pros: Little time, but the train from the airport leaves you right in the middle of the city. A sense of adventure. Cons: Somewhat risky--make sure you don't miss your train back to the airport
When you fly to your European destination, chances are you'll fly through one of three major rerouting cities--London, Amsterdam, or Frankfurt. If you do, your layover may range from 1/2 hour to a few hours. What do you do while you wait for your...

Pros: beautiful city, great museums, interesting culture, good food Cons: expensive food, confusing to get around
I went to Amsterdam during February for reading week from university in London. My friend Jesse and I took the overnight bus using www.gobycoach.com since we had started our planning too late and flying was a bit too expensive. However, when we got to...
Pros: Friendly people, an abundance of English spoken, gorgeous men Cons: They know you're American!
Amsterdam -- the city of canals, hash, prostitution, and diamonds. Those aren't necessarily huge draws for me personally. Even so, the thought intrigued me. A friend and I took the train from Paris to Amsterdam, where we spent 4 days. We'd been ...
Pros: Beautiful, Visitor-friendly, Great Museums, Great food/drink/etc choices Cons: Rainy fall weather
The latest general epinon about Amsterdam is a couple of years old so I thought I’d stick this one in with hopefully some worthwhile current info. WW and I just got back from a little Europe jaunt - mostly in London (and I’ll add a few ...
Pros: Architecture, museums, beautiful people, music, culture... Cons: The tourists with one thing on their mind
You only have to mention the name mention Amsterdam and people immediately think of the liberal drug laws and the coffee shops or the seedy red-light district that dates back hundreds of years. That’s what did my head in about the place in the...
Pros: Beautiful & fashionable European women... and everyone speaks English! Cons: Frequent rain and euro conversion rate makes everything pricey.
Spent the last week in April visiting a friend (also American) in Amsterdam. Here's how it went...ARRIVING IN AMSTERDAM Flight from Detroit took about 8 hrs. Enjoyed all the movies you can watch now on long flights. They must of had ...
Pros: Much to see but easy to tour by canal boat and has a pleasant ambience. Cons: Suffers from an undeserved sin city reputation.
A city of canals, museums, restaurants and a cool attitude, Amsterdam is the best of the European canal cities. Although it is doesn't have Venice's reputation for romance, or the glitter of Russia's St. Petersburg, it has a healthy character of its own...
Pros: Great architecture, canals, cobble-stoned streets, relaxed atmosphere Cons: pushy drug dealers and beggars
My two traveling companions and I arrived in Amsterdam on a summer evening in the midst of a torrential downpour. We had driven from Antwerp in Belgium, via Rotterdam, Den Hague, and Haarlem. We planned on having a night on the town, so instead of...
Pros: short way from home, a small city with a big city feel, museums Cons: It is a bit too small to match cities like Paris and London
We started our vacation on the 4th of June 1999. I was pretty stressed up cause I had been to a course the 2 weeks before we left. And we were also pretty late with the visa application so we only got our passports back the day before we left *phew*. But...
Pros: Gorgeous architecture, charming canals, and a rockin' Tea at the Amstel. Cons: Be sure to take your vitamins before braving the nightlife!
I have just returned from a three-week stay in Europe, which was based in the Netherlands (my friend "Emma" lives in Rotterdam). To be honest, I only spent a total of 12 hours in Amsterdam itself, but trust me when I say I have experienced...
Pros: Friendly people, small town feel in a big city. Cons: Dog poop everywhere
I travel to Netherlands once a year, or so, on vacation, sometimes going to France and/or the U.K. as well. Some suggestions I have for people going there are;
1) Use the public transportation. The lower level of Schiopol airport is the train...
Pros: Great city with lots to do; very helpful people and efficient police force Cons: Quite a few drug-related crimes
Review Topic: Practical Information
Having lived about 30 kilometers from Amsterdam for over four years, the red light district no longer has that magic appeal that it does for tourists. We would often, quite innocently,...
Pros: A true and Honest-to-God learning experience. A completely poignant experience. Cons: Crowded, and I found it difficult to completely absorb some of the exhibits; when the place was built, it wasn't built with the intention of being a museum.
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
Like most other kids, I read Anne Frank's diary. As a child, I couldn't understand why she had to hide in her house from the police when she had done nothing wrong; as an adult who knows...
Well... I have just returned from my Summer excursion into the European unknown and I thought I'd start off by writing about the craziest place I've ever been. And I am going to tell you the whole Amsterdam story...
Pros: Fantastic Art, Great Sights, Friendly People, Great Street Food Cons: None
We flew on Martinair from Miami to Amsterdam's Airport Schiphol. Upon clearing immigrations, we took a train into the center of Amsterdam. The Schiphol Rail Line operates 24 hours a day, and the trains run every 15 minutes from 6am to midnight. ...
Pros: Wonderful, whimsical architecture, great atmosphere, excellent for just walking around Cons: Most travellers plan too little time for Amsterdam
As an (ex) resident of Amsterdam, many of my American friends ask me what to go and see while visiting the city. Here are some of my favourites for a first time visitor to our capital:
First of all, make sure that your hotel is within the...
Yes, I as well have traveled in the Netherlands on three separate occasions and every trip confirms my love for this country. For such a small country, the Netherlands provides great city life as well as beautiful country landscapes perfect for bicycling...
Pros: Great idea of life in the 17th Century Cons: A bit difficult to find. Get a map!
How many of you have been in a 17th century home lately? On a recent trip to Amsterdam, I took the time to visit the lovingly restored Rembrandt House.
Pros: Lovely, peaceful and of historic interest Cons: Could be boring or seem overly church-oriented to some
Contrary to popular expectations, the beguines who lived here were, for the most part, not Catholic, but members of the Hervormed (Reformed) or Gereformeerd (also Reformed!) Dutch Protestant denominations. Catholics were, and still are, rarer in...
Over the years, I've visited parts of the Netherlands several times. Although I'd previously changed airplanes at Schipol, Amsterdam's main airport, my journeys had never taken me in to the heart of Amsterdam. A friend and I decided to visit Amsterdam...
Pros: Lots of opportunities for crazy times Cons: Crazy times can often come up and bite you
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
Amsterdam for me is two different experiences. Over the course of a 6 week period this past summer, I had the opportunity to visit the city twice. Even though I stayed at the same place and...
Pros: Very compact, walkable and cozy; English understood everywhere; liberating feel Cons: Kind of stinks; bicycles are a major nuisance; driving nightmare; nasty bouncers
Whenever someone hears I've been to Amsterdam, they usually wink and smile mischeviously - 'been to any coffee shops over there?'
Yes, there is plenty of weed going around, and plenty of sexual entertainment as well, if desired - but somehow...
Pros: Tons of history, outskirts of town are very picturesque...the Tulip Markets! Cons: Nighttime in the Red Light district..Avoid Youth Hostels
On my second trip to Europe in the Spring of 1999, I decided to head with some friends to Amsterdam for a few days to see the sights and see first hand if all the stories of the baccanalia were true. Looking back, I have really mixed feelings about the...
Pros: legality and availability Cons: gotta know where to go
I have been to Amsterdam several times. In 1998, I decided to meet up with six friends in this Venice of the North and to partake in the land’s skunk cake (a cake with marijuana baked into it) which was an utter disaster. Below is my personal experience...
Pros: charm, fun, beauty, art, tolerance Cons: need plenty of time to take it all in
Our first trip to Amsterdam and we happened upon one of the big street parties of the year!
Public transportation is awesome in Amsterdam. And since almost everybody speaks English getting around is pretty easy. For about three dollars you can...
Pros: Everything you thought it would be. Cons: There is some danger, watch your wallet while walking.
Amsterdam is everything you heard is was when you were a kid! You can smoke pot in "coffee" shops and have sex with a prostitute if that floats your boat. But once you have done that go out and enjoy an amazing city. First, I will address ...
Pros: Easy, affordable last minute rooms Cons: Might be sold out during peak events. Rooms are only available for same day arrival and short stays.
Last minute trip, and hard to find a good rate for a hotel in Amsterdam?
Most hotels in Amsterdam have an agreement with the KLM hotel desk, the VVV tourist information office and the GWK exchange offices. If a hotel has rooms available for...
Pros: Hotels in Amsterdam finally start upgrading their service levels and facilities. Compared to some other cities, rates are still reasonable - provided you're flexible with your dates. Cons: As is common in Europe, older hotels tend to have small rooms originally meant for single occupancy
As a Dutchman living in the US, many of my friends ask me to recommend hotels in Amsterdam. Having lived there for a number of years, here is an overview of some of the more upmarket hotels:
Considered by many as the best hotel in Amsterdam,...
Pros: always more to discover Cons: the weekend influx of tourists in search of beer, drugs and sex
Saturday mornings were my favourites. The Dutch party hard on Friday nights, and wake late, so you can steal a march on them. Even in winter, when the light comes late, nine o'clock, I could walk across the Oosterpark with barely a soul in sight, pick up...
Pros: Very easy to navigate, inexpensive Cons: Not always very quick to get around! Driving in the city is not convenient at all.
Amsterdam is a very compact city - ideal for walking around. One thing you definitely should NOT do is rent a car, at least not if you are expecting to use it in the city. The narrow streets, bridges, and somewhat confusing lay-out of all the canals...
Pros: friendly, easy to see on foot Cons: prominent drug culture
I wandered off the train in Amsterdam alone, without so much as a tour book. All I really knew was that it was supposed to be a beautiful and fun city, full of pickpockets and drug dealers. I bought a Lonely Planet guide with my visa and set off to...
Pros: Beautiful City Cons: Get away from the tried and true
So you've been there once - you've been dragged through (or led the way to) the red light district, you've visited the 'coffee shops,' and you've done the day of the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank's House, the brewery, the canal tour, and the Van Gogh...
Pros: Clean, Inexpensive, Friendly Fellow Travelers Cons: Not Particularly Quaint
Amsterdam is a very beautiful, historic, and fun city. It has many many museums, more 17th century buildings than any other European city, gorgeous canals, a friendly attitude, a great nightlife and of course, coffee shops.
Pros: World class museums, friendly culture, social freedom Cons: Can be intimidating for those not used to extreme differences in ways of life
The city of Amsterdam offers the opportunity to see life from a completely different angle. It is most famous for its liberal allowances of almost every vice you can think of, but thinking that this is all that the city offers would be a grave mistake....
Pros: hospitality, joie de vivre Cons: weather, red light district
I had avoided Amsterdam as a teen after hearing rumors of the city's seediness and crime, but the rumors died down and even my mother found Amsterdam to be a safe traveling destination (even though she had some items stolen out of her suitcase at the...
Pros: very cheap, tram in front of building, breakfast Cons: suitable for backpackers only :-)
I stayed in Amsterdam for more than 6 months and really love this city.
Before I lived with a friend in one of Amsterdam's suburbs, I stayed in a backpacker's place which was only about 11 Dutch Guildars (about US$ 7, I estimate).
Chances are its myths became known to you sometime around the age of 15. Maybe it was when you smoked your first joint, maybe it was from the travel channel. Either way if you're of a certain persuasion, you've wanted to go there...
Pros: Architecture, uniqueness, canals, Pancake Factory Cons: dirty in spots, can be easy to get lost
I went to Amsterdam in June 2006 for 4 days. It was somewhat last minute during a vacation in Paris that we decided to rent a car and go to Amsterdam. My first suggestion (if you drive) is to NOT enter the city with the car. The city has a program ...
Pros: Beautiful, fascinating, and an excellent way to restfully take in the sights Cons: Duck doo is one of the more pleasant things giving the water that colour
One of the first things I did at the beginning of my long stay in the Netherlands was to take a canal-boat tour of the city. Between the lingering effects of jet-lag and the exhaustion that followed my previous brisk walking tour of the city, I...
Pros: Lots of culture and history. Legal cannabis. Good currency rate; usually. Cons: Cold, damp, windy, weather. Rude dutch people. Short days in winter. Crime.
I'll admit that I first went to Amsterdam just to smoke cannabis. However the more I went (been there 4 times), the less that was the reason. If you go make sure not to overlook the cultural side which includes the Van Gogh museum, the rijks museum, the...
Pros: TunFun Cons: The fear that your child will end up in a canal
Suppose you are going to Amsterdam mainly for business and family reasons and are bringing children ages about 18 months to 4 years old along. Some thoughts: - Don't let the "Anything Goes in Amsterdam!" hype frighten you away. Normal Dutch people ...
Pros: Excitement at every turn Cons: Definitely not for kids
So, you are thinking about going to Amsterdam, but you don't want to spend the whole trip in a drug-induced haze? Well, here are a few other suggestions. Rijksmuseum is a free art museum, with some of the finest in it. Whether looking for Hals,...
Pros: better repeat service Cons: don't tip, you will be remembered
restaurant: you never have to tip, but if the service was good, f2.50 a person or 10% paid directly to the waiter is about right. when the waiter picks up your money, it will always go smoother to tell him the total you wish to pay--asking for a...
Pros: Still one of the more fun European capitals Cons: May have lost some of its charm in becoming more dangerous
The Amsterdam I enjoyed visiting on many the day trip and occasional weekend during my years of study in Leiden, the Netherlands, is apparently gone. I remember a fun city, rather like a big amusement park for grownups, with lights and wonders and...
Pros: Cheap, reasonable accomadations Cons: Bare bones
Just in case you were wondering, The Flying Pig is a hostel located in Amsterdam (There are actually two in Amsterdam, but I will refer only to the Downtown location)
I had never before stayed in a hostel but because of budgetary constraints and the...
Pros: Exciting, full of people, lots of bizarre things to see Cons: Expensive, crowded
I visited Amsterdam for a few days when I was 14 and I remember a beautiful city full of interesting shops and buildings. I saw the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank house and my young impression of the city was very good. I was recently visiting...
Pros: Friendly people, Easy transportation, Cheap, Good food! Cons: Dirty streets, bikes everywhere, stores and tourist sites close early.
I was just in Amsterdam a week ago for 2 1/2 weeks to visit my boyfriend that was working there for the summer.
We went to the Heineken Brewery to start. The tour was not worth it. First of all it is a self guided tour and could be done in a few...
Shopping is easy in Amsterdam - the main shopping areas are near to each other, the transport is reliable and relatively inexpensive, and most shop assistants are well versed in English (as well as French, German and Dutch). Being a compact city...
Pros: Beautiful, old city with many sites to visit Cons: having to watch out for bikes on the sidewalks
I was a bit hesitant about visiting Amsterdam when my husband suggested it 2 years ago because of all that I had heard regarding the drugs, crime, and prostitution.
We arrived at Central Station, which did nothing to calm my fears about the...
Pros: Great paintings in the museums Cons: Museums are specific
The painters from whom the city provided such a source of inspiration are very well represented in the local museums and art galleries. Not to be missed is the splendid Rijksmuseum (Stadhouderskode 42) which was especially built in 1810 to house the...
Amsterdam is a very interesting city. Yes, many of the rumors you have heard about the city are true. Yes, the people of Amsterdam are very liberal in many many ways. Yes, drugs and sex are prevalent around the city. But there is more than that....
Pros: Only in the red light district.... Cons: Not many. They've got a good prison system
When I tell people I lived in the Netherlands for a year in high school, they raise their eyebrows and say, "Hmm, the Netherlands. Did you live in Amsterdam?" and they give a mischievously knowing look. I didn't live in Amsterdam. I lived in...
Pros: Location Cons: Rooms are not attractive, and a bit dark. Windows don't open.
During my last trip to Amsterdam, I stayed at the Crowne Plaza Amsterdam City Centre (previously the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza) on Niewezijdsvoorburgwal right in the centre of the city. (There is another Crowne Plaza in Amsterdam, a five minute drive...
Pros: Better value for rate conscious traveller Cons: Rooms are small, and services more limited
In addition to my Epinion about four and five star hotels, let's take a look at some hotel that are normally a little less hard on the budget, yet still comfortable enough to ensure you'll have a good stay in Amsterdam.
Pros: beautiful historic areas and most modern soccer stadium Cons: crime,sex,drugs,rude people
Review Topic: Overview
Well I am in Amsterdam each year at least once. Most of the time only to see the American Football game of the NFL Europe between the Frankfurt Galaxy (my favorite team) and the Amsterdam Admirals. They...
Pros: Comfortable rooms, good service Cons: Sometimes a bit pricey, not in the very center of the city
I stayed at the Hilton Amsterdam for two nights last weekend. The Hilton website (www.hilton.com) offered a low rate of about NLG 225 per weekend night, including a buffet breakfast - pretty cheap for Amsterdam!
Pros: The Dutch have elevated marijuana cultivation to an art and science Cons: Unprepared Americans getting their minds blown and making fools of themselves
How many times are we going to hear the story of the lightweight American going to Amsterdam and freaking out after a few puffs of Super Silver Haze, or claiming that their space cake was "laced"?
Pros: Too many to mention Cons: None really except possibly the unpredictable northern european weather
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
I have been to Amsterdam a few times now and never fail to feel at home there. Ever since my first visit 4 years ago I felt that it would be one of the few places in the world I would...
Pros: Different and full of things to do Cons: It rained and some things were expensive
It was November 20th and my friends and I had just rented an A-class Mercedes-Benz in Paris France. (Take it from me; Paris is one place you do not want to drive.) We were on our way north to Amsterdam, the smallest city everybody knows about. We had no...
Pros: Wonderful people, subtle charm & great public transportation Cons: Heavy street traffic and bikers
I have traveled in the Netherlands on three separate occasions and every trip confirms my love for this country. For such a small country, the Netherlands provides great city life as well as beautiful country landscapes perfect for bicycling trips and...
Pros: cheap, casual, large portions Cons: slow service, "non smokers? what are they?"
As any tourist guide will tell you, traditional Dutch food is not something to look forward to. In fact, so many Dutch dishes seem to be based on leftovers it makes you wonder what these are left over from.
Pros: Lots of local flavor to explore Cons: Flavor can be expensive
My travel philosophy is to not just "visit" each place I go to but to actually live as a local - even if my stay is only for the evening. No doubt you could make yourself a nice little vacation by going to Amsterdam to visit the Van Gogh...
Pros: experiences you will never forget, unless you've had to much to smoke. Cons: I reccommend not volunteering at a live sex show.
I visited Amsterdam in January of 98 by way of ferry from Dover England. Although we only stayed three days, we made the most of it. It was the Red Light district where I became somewhat famous, well at least for an evening. While walking down...
Pros: highest concentration of sites in the world Cons: crowded
I found Amsterdam to be just about everything (good and bad). From walking down Dam straight (yeah i like that name) to the museums. I saw everything from the people that visited and never found their way out again laying on the sidewalk begging for...
Pros: Beautiful scenery, water and lakes. Old and beautiful architecture, great public transportation Cons: Boring, expensive, not too friendly and poor quality of food, poor night life
If you are looking for a Rome, a London or a Paris in Amsterdam, you obviously will be disappointed. But if you are looking for a clean, quiet and medium size city, then yes, Amsterdam is your kinda city. My overnight flight from Minneapolis arrived ...
Pros: Friendly Locals, Tourist friendly, Gorgeous city Cons: Red Light District... Overstated!
Day and Night, we were able to capture the beauty of this city. There were canals everywhere we looked. Bicycles seemed to be a key source of transportation. People actually hitchiked by bicycle. One thing that fascinated us was that many of...
Pros: restaurants; nightlife; coffeeshops; heineken beer; friendly locals that speak English. Cons: cost of hotels
I have been to Amsterdam 3 times and have learned much about the city. The best bet is to stay in a canal house rather than an expensive hotel. The canal house we stayed in was close to everything and we had the extra advantage of a friendly owner who...
Pros: A fun three days even without smoking a thing! Cons: Longer than three days might be boring
We've visited Amsterdam twice, each time for three days, which seemed ideal. Last trip we took a boat trip on the canal, seeing the skinny houses and understanding the hooks are for hoisting up furniture and whatever else won't fit in the skimpy doors...
Pros: Wonderful architecture, great art Cons: Absolute filthy

My wife, daughter, and I stayed in Amsterdam this past July enroute to a cruise of the Scandinavian capitals on the Celebrity Millennium. We arrived in Amsterdam and the airport is a distance from the city...
Pros: fun, lots of fun Cons: the canals all look the same so it's hard to get anywhere. and, my friends sleeping bag got stolen, but it was his fault.

Pros: Great atmosphere Cons: Slightly dangerous at night
I recently was fortunate enough to spend some time in Amsterdam, after enjoying the Euro 2000 Soccer Final between France and Italy. After the game, we took the train from Rotterdam to Amsterdam which took an hour.
Pros: Cosmopolitan city that has something for everyone Cons: Possibly will offend many people with their liberal attitude to drugs and sex
Most of the Netherlands is land that has been recovered from the see, held back by dams and other various methods. The Netherlands boasts a great network of canals, and it is using these canals that is the best way to see Amsterdam.
Pros: the new circular bikes which seat 7 (?) people are catching on, much slower and easier to avoid Cons: the "serves you right" look you'll receive if you are ravaged by a bicyclist from everyone nearby
Review Topic: Practical Information
Amsterdam. It's a lovely city, full of water and.... other things, you can find out about those in the Red Light District. But, as an upright citizen, I thought it my duty to issue a warning...
Amsterdam has a little something for everyone. If you are a pervert, peeping tom, or into voyarism this is the place for you. For only $15 you can go see live sex. Yes that is right. A man and a woman doing the dirty. It is quite unique. The people...
Pros: almost everything Cons: odd feeling one gets from seeing the illegal, as legal
My trip to Amsterdam was a wonderful experience. Not because i saw all there was to see (because i didn't), or did all there was to do (because i didn't) it was simply because the surroundings were so new, and different. And not only the physical...
Pros: Charming city with good shopping Cons: Public urinals, pot smoke, prostitutes

Pros: Lost of fun, different, and exciting things to do Cons: If your on a tight budget it can be expensive
Want to go to the most liberal place on earth, well this is it. Amsterdam is in my oppinion the city of sin. From post smoking to prostitutes this is it. But if your not into this scene you will have a wonderful time just walking around and enjoying...
Amsterdam - City of Sin. Amsterdam is perhaps one of the greatest culture cities in all of Europe but its reputation really comes from the drugs, beer, and women.

Amsterdam is a beautiful city. It's compact which makes it very easy to get around without the hassle of rental cars or bus trips. The locals are generally friendly and helpful (most speak English too).
