    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!
