Who here is from Amsterdam?
I'm going there in a few days, and I'm wondering if anyone can give me any tips on where to go.

I will not be accepting any answers about rather liberal cafés or anything remotely to do with red light districts. The purpose of this thread is for people to tell me some awesome places (preferably where there won't be a dickload of tourists).

Amsterdam is cool. I went like a week ago ( I live 100km away from there, and had free train tickets). I got myself a drink on the leidseplein, I shopped in the Kalverstraat and visited the Anne-Frank house ( again, and still not interesting, but I was with a friend who is into history ) and some other cultural things. I also liked the hard rock cafe.

Then I went to Utrecht, was way more awesome ^_^

Chac: take them to the cockring!!!

seriously, check out Soundgarden though. It's a bar just off the marnixstraat.. great atmosphere and cheap drinks
edit- plus pretty close to where you're staying if i remember rightly.

The sights are really cool in amsterdam though..well worth taking a break from being blazed to actually see the city.

Why has no one mentioned the fact that marijuana is legal there?(Then again it is common sense) You should probably tell this nice man where to get some, if he wants to know.

Maybe I misinterpreted Dr.Strangelove's post but I believe he directly spoke against hearing about "any incredibly liberal cafe" <-- paraphrasing of course.

I've yet to visit Amsterdam; however, I hear it's a really cool place with an interesting history. Let me know how the trip is!
Need help?

Bingo. Also, yes I'll tell stories of the hijinks that ensue.

starbucks sucks a lot of ass.

Your city is extremely expensive, the people hate tourists and I nearly got killed by bikes every time I crossed the road.



Yet I want to go again.

Typing "tourist attractions" into google tends to produce results that are overhyped and crowded with loads of tourists, instead of the places that the locals enjoy. Thanks for not even remotely contributing to my thread and trying to make me look stupid.

Yes we should. Going with 3 others, one of which has just today come back from a month-long tour of Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. I reckon Amsterdam may have a lot to live up to. ^_^
We'll be staying at the Marnix Hotel, which is apprently next to the Leidseplein.

the café itself is nice though. i mean, the music, atmosphere & decorations
(just dont buy shit)

Yeah I know, just went inside to take a look, last time we were with some chicks that were absolutely possitive we had to go the other way and we ended up at Centraal Station after a long walk.
