City Guide Amsterdam, Netherlands
Visiting Amsterdam
Known as the ‘Venice of the North’, Amsterdam is a city built on a cobweb of canals that boasts one of the most picturesque settings in the world. True, it is a city full of hazy coffee shops where stoners smoke all day and where prostitutes standing in red-lit windows try to lure in prospective customers, but there is much more to the Dutch capital than hookers and hash. It boasts world-class museums, great architecture and a buzzing nightlife making it the perfect city for a few days break.

Amsterdams
It can be love at first sight with Amsterdam. Such a ZEN city. It will bombard all your senses. But do beware, it can be shockingly expensive. The Dutch are merchants and they know the have a city with which they can make money.
Insider Tip:If you want the real experience. Go where the Dutch and expats go. Avoid the usual tourist gigs. Find the bars with live music: jazz, blues, funk, rock, you name it!

Actually Amsterdan is not about drugs, it's about bicycles and canals.
Lovelly city! Expensive to eat though (apart from the americans Mc Donalds, Burguer King, Subway, etc...)
Insider Tip:Go on weekends. Pubs and nightclubs get empty during from sunday to thursday. Don't miss out the Anne Franks Museum. The best museum I've been (and I've been in the most famous museums in Europe). Very touching. Definately worthy! But buy the ticket in advance (here: http://www.annefrank.org/en/Museum/Practical-information/Online-ticket-sales/) , otherwise we gonna wait at least one hour on the line
