Go there 2 grea coffe shops i loved barkneys n if u walk donw alot mre tere r other greet ones like grey area and greenSeed. I went to the Anne Frank house. visited alot fo coffe shops and museums and also went to the heineken factory. The experience was closed so that sucked.... Otherwise no matter were you were everyone was so nice and respectful....Traffic is fucking crazy with bikes and trains n cars in different lanes and lights but you get used to it. It was just a great experience the ngiht life is rediculous but you already no...

Limit your stay to the weekend only...

Nice place for a short visit - two days at the most - any longer and you begin to notice just how seedy and grubby the place actually is. Word of advice - stick to the main tourist areas.

My town!!

I was born in Amsterdam, raised in Amsterdam and only 2 years living in LA gave me a view of what is really a hell on earth. For me my hometown is the most exciting, warm, happy an friendly place in the whole wide world. Here you can feel free, here you can dream and here are the most romantic places. Be welcome in my town and feel what life's about! ps, i'm so lucky to live in the heart of the canal district, very near the Anne Frank house and the "Westertoren), Mandy

Amsterdam where you can be yourself

I loved amsterdam, the atmosphere was awesum, you can be yourself with out people looking down on you, The people are fun, i loved the bars with the wacky bacca in use. The red light is well worth a vist and the sex shops which is so much part of amsterdam, if you go tongue in cheek you will have a right laugh at the stuff they sell, just be a little careful and stick to the tourist part. A ride on the many cannels is a must, they point out the places of interest so you can get a feel and have a rough idea where they are so you can visit on foot. Overall a very nice place to vist for a long weekend to chill out and have fun. once done explore the rest of Holland as that as a lot to offer too.

Funny Amsterdam ipod tour

Was in Amsterdam last weekend. I took one of those ipod tours. What a laugh I had. The tour talked about where to go out, bar life in Amsterdam, some black humour, and a little culture and history. The tour was pretty cheap too, you can get it at www.audiocitytours.com

Great for a girls weekend !!

Have been lucky enough to go to amsterdam several times, last visit in January. Fantastic feel and atmosphere, just a really chilled out place to be. I can't help going back time and time again, beautiful architecture, good shopping, a great selection of coffee shops, cafes and restaurants, aswell as some fantastic clubs. Amsterdam is a vibrant, colourful city and somewhere that everyone should visit at least once; you might be suprised! The next girls weekend in Amsterdam is planned for August, and I know that we will have the most fantastic weekend and start planning the next one straight away!

I just can't get enough!

I went for the first time in May 2005, had a perforated appendix and was treated very well by everyone. I went back in September, sitting outside for all my meals, painting, people watching. The nighlife is brilliant in many areas, Rembrantplein, Leidesplein etc. The museums, canal trips and other places of interest are very good. The Dutch people are very helpful and friendly, a lovely laid back people, always ready for a celebration at the slightest excuse. My first choice for a weekend or a longer break. I just can't get enough!

living in amsterdam

I have lived in amsterdam for 5 years and still find the place so exciting and still discovering different places to its never ending. The people can sometimes seem a bit rude but its just the way they are, they shout more than talk. To whisper is rude. Try Haarlem its like a little amsterdam and a great place to shop cheaper and everyone is friendly there. Try dirty nellys bar always friendly and full of expats. If you want live music Mulligans on the amstel excellent place so have fun next time your there............
