Heaven on Earth. Everybody spoke English and was very nice. Most of the tourists were American, and most of them were high. Sights were good but i went there to impair my vision. Really awesome place all in all.

Don't go during the Cannabis Cup. It's a sloppy affair put on by Americans for Americans. The whole place gets flooded with hippies and exchange student wannabes. It was a repeat of the same uninformed pot-head debates about George Bush and 'I didn't vote for him, man' and 'why can't we all just get along?' over and over again.

rent a bike and ride around the canals... 

I did not like the city, but it is an interesting experience...museams are excellent...the Van Goh...but the Red Zone...horrible.

sexmuseum bij het centraal station is gwn hilarisch!! probeer zeker alle grote pleinen, zalig cafeetjes enzo

Things you have to see are:diamonds, Rembrandts' house, Van Gogh's museum, and coffe shops. maybe you could rent a bike, but you can walk along the city...watch, of the fast bike riders, they often hit you!

Expectacular city! A lot of places to visit, Museums, parks, coffeeshops, Haesje Claes restaurant is a must if you are looking for good Holandaise food. Nightlife is over the top.

Amsterdam... land of water and land, history and culture, coupled with modern 'liberties' and lifestyles. Our holiday here was a mixture of highs and lows, some things we absolutely loved, and other things made us feel very uncomfortable. I guess this can be said of most cities in the world, as there is good and bad everywhere, but for us, we had never encountered this type of element before.

We neither loved nor hated it. But we are glad we went.

What appealed to us was the lapping of the waters as our canal boat gently steered down the canal, watching the towering, skinny buildings on either side of us. Watching the young lady sunbathing on the roof of her river-boat; the young man beating his dust-filled carpet with a rod; the young girl curled up on the windowsill overlooking the canal, engrossed in the novel she was reading.

It offers, to the viewer and visitor, an intimate glimpse into the life of Amsterdam and is very special.

for a rainy day the Science museam is a great alternative to the tried and tested art galleries and Anne Franks house. it is very hands on and allows grown ups to play .....

Out of the places I have visited Amsterdam was the most beautiful, clean, compact pleasant city I visited.
