    Amsterdam

    It's a great city with lovely people, that want you to enjoy their city as much as they do. You can ask people for directions and they will give you street by street detailed instructions.

    Insider Tip:The GVB 72 or 48 hour cards are great. €16 and you can ride any GVB operated transit on the card. The tram is best way to get around the city.

    Not as Crazy as One Would Think

    I envisioned Amsterdam being the Vegas of Europe and boy was I wrong. It is a very laid back city which makes sense if you think about it. Maybe I just missed them but the bar/club/party scene seemed to be lacking. Definitely is a very cool city to visit though. Everyone should go at least once in their life.

    Insider Tip:Yes you can go to the coffee shops.

    Fantastic

    Amsterdam was awesme. Canal Cruise, Rijks Musuem, Van Goeg Musuem, The Ann Frank House, and a dozen pubs made up my extra long holiday weekend!

    Insider Tip:Take advantage of the grocery stores for your meals. Take a tour on one of the bike taxis if the weather is nice. Best afternoon I had in the city. And prepare to wait a good hour in order to get in to the Ann Frank House on the weekend.
