Amsterdam

Pros: restaurants; nightlife; coffeeshops; heineken beer; friendly locals that speak English.
Cons: cost of hotels

I have been to Amsterdam 3 times and have learned much about the city. The best bet is to stay in a canal house rather than an expensive hotel. The canal house we stayed in was close to everything and we had the extra advantage of a friendly owner who...

Pros: A fun three days even without smoking a thing!
Cons: Longer than three days might be boring

We've visited Amsterdam twice, each time for three days, which seemed ideal. Last trip we took a boat trip on the canal, seeing the skinny houses and understanding the hooks are for hoisting up furniture and whatever else won't fit in the skimpy doors...

Pros: Wonderful architecture, great art
Cons: Absolute filthy

Review Topic:  Overview

My wife, daughter, and I stayed in Amsterdam this past July enroute to a cruise of the Scandinavian capitals on the Celebrity Millennium. We arrived in Amsterdam and the airport is a distance from the city...

Pros: fun, lots of fun
Cons: the canals all look the same so it's hard to get anywhere. and, my friends sleeping bag got stolen, but it was his fault.

Don't let yourself skip or miss this city if you like adventure, fun, culture and other stuff. This city has so much charachter and the people are wonderful. When I met some locals and told them I'm from Brooklyn, we ended up rapping some Notorious...

Pros: Great atmosphere
Cons: Slightly dangerous at night

I recently was fortunate enough to spend some time in Amsterdam, after enjoying the Euro 2000 Soccer Final between France and Italy. After the game, we took the train from Rotterdam to Amsterdam which took an hour.

We arrived at about 3.00am...

Pros: Cosmopolitan city that has something for everyone
Cons: Possibly will offend many people with their liberal attitude to drugs and sex

Most of the Netherlands is land that has been recovered from the see, held back by dams and other various methods. The Netherlands boasts a great network of canals, and it is using these canals that is the best way to see Amsterdam.

Pros: the new circular bikes which seat 7 (?) people are catching on, much slower and easier to avoid
Cons: the "serves you right" look you'll receive if you are ravaged by a bicyclist from everyone nearby

Review Topic:  Practical Information

Amsterdam. It's a lovely city, full of water and.... other things, you can find out about those in the Red Light District. But, as an upright citizen, I thought it my duty to issue a warning...

Pros: SEX DRUGS AND ALCOHOL
Cons: none

Amsterdam has a little something for everyone. If you are a pervert, peeping tom, or into voyarism this is the place for you. For only $15 you can go see live sex. Yes that is right. A man and a woman doing the dirty. It is quite unique. The people...

Pros: almost everything
Cons: odd feeling one gets from seeing the illegal, as legal

My trip to Amsterdam was a wonderful experience. Not because i saw all there was to see (because i didn't), or did all there was to do (because i didn't) it was simply because the surroundings were so new, and different. And not only the physical...

Pros: Charming city with good shopping
Cons: Public urinals, pot smoke, prostitutes

I recently went to Amsterdam with my closest girlfriend. She is a fan of subculture and the like, whereas I am a fan of shopping and monuments. We both found stuff we loved in Amsterdam. We stayed at this place called Hotel Piet Hein. Very charming,...

Pros: Open, friendly atmosphere
Cons: Not cheap

Drugs, sex... Amsterdam has it all and it's legal. That is just one of the things that is great about this city.

Amsterdam has a lot to offer besides space cakes - museums, the Anne Frank house and a cruise on the canal to name a few...

Pros: Beautiful city to see

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

We flew into Amsterdam on August sixteenth 2000, arriving at a beautiful modern, up to date airport. "Schiphol" We were quite surprised to find that the baggage claim area was...

Pros: Lost of fun, different, and exciting things to do
Cons: If your on a tight budget it can be expensive

Want to go to the most liberal place on earth, well this is it. Amsterdam is in my oppinion the city of sin. From post smoking to prostitutes this is it. But if your not into this scene you will have a wonderful time just walking around and enjoying...

Pros: Fun place to be
Cons: Drugs

Amsterdam - City of Sin. Amsterdam is perhaps one of the greatest culture cities in all of Europe but its reputation really comes from the drugs, beer, and women.

Amsterdam has people from all over the world and covers all ages ranges. The...
