Pros: better repeat service
Cons: don't tip, you will be remembered
restaurant: you never have to tip, but if the service was good, f2.50 a person or 10% paid directly to the waiter is about right. when the waiter picks up your money, it will always go smoother to tell him the total you wish to pay--asking for a...

Pros: Still one of the more fun European capitals
Cons: May have lost some of its charm in becoming more dangerous
The Amsterdam I enjoyed visiting on many the day trip and occasional weekend during my years of study in Leiden, the Netherlands, is apparently gone. I remember a fun city, rather like a big amusement park for grownups, with lights and wonders and...

Pros: Cheap, reasonable accomadations
Cons: Bare bones
Just in case you were wondering, The Flying Pig is a hostel located in Amsterdam (There are actually two in Amsterdam, but I will refer only to the Downtown location)

Pros: Exciting, full of people, lots of bizarre things to see
Cons: Expensive, crowded
I visited Amsterdam for a few days when I was 14 and I remember a beautiful city full of interesting shops and buildings. I saw the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank house and my young impression of the city was very good. I was recently visiting...

Pros: Friendly people, Easy transportation, Cheap, Good food!
Cons: Dirty streets, bikes everywhere, stores and tourist sites close early.
I was just in Amsterdam a week ago for 2 1/2 weeks to visit my boyfriend that was working there for the summer.
We went to the Heineken Brewery to start. The tour was not worth it. First of all it is a self guided tour and could be done in a few...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: You may still get false goods
Shopping is easy in Amsterdam - the main shopping areas are near to each other, the transport is reliable and relatively inexpensive, and most shop assistants are well versed in English (as well as French, German and Dutch). Being a compact city...

Pros: Beautiful, old city with many sites to visit
Cons: having to watch out for bikes on the sidewalks
I was a bit hesitant about visiting Amsterdam when my husband suggested it 2 years ago because of all that I had heard regarding the drugs, crime, and prostitution.
We arrived at Central Station, which did nothing to calm my fears about the...

Pros: Great paintings in the museums
Cons: Museums are specific
The painters from whom the city provided such a source of inspiration are very well represented in the local museums and art galleries. Not to be missed is the splendid Rijksmuseum (Stadhouderskode 42) which was especially built in 1810 to house the...

Pros: Friendly atmosphere, lots to do
Cons: Slightly shady at night (but to be expected of any city)
When I travelled to Amsterdam last summer I expected what Amsterdam is most popular for - drugs and sex! But I got much, much more!!
Granted it has the drugs (tolerant on marijuana) and the sex (legal prostitution and red light district)and...

Pros: Only in the red light district....
Cons: Not many. They've got a good prison system
When I tell people I lived in the Netherlands for a year in high school, they raise their eyebrows and say, "Hmm, the Netherlands. Did you live in Amsterdam?" and they give a mischievously knowing look. I didn't live in Amsterdam. I lived in...

Pros: Location
Cons: Rooms are not attractive, and a bit dark. Windows don't open.
During my last trip to Amsterdam, I stayed at the Crowne Plaza Amsterdam City Centre (previously the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza) on Niewezijdsvoorburgwal right in the centre of the city. (There is another Crowne Plaza in Amsterdam, a five minute drive...
