    What a great city! So much to do and see! Stay a bit outside to avoid the masses. Transport system is cheap and convenient. Love Amsterdam!

    If you are visiting multiple museums, buy the "Museumkaart" (museum card). With a fixed fee of €59 will get you into all the big museums and skip queues. amsterdam.info/museums/museumkaart

    Welcome to Amsterdam! Be careful of bicycles, they're everywhere and don't care about pedestrians.

    This city is really a beauty. Please don't come here for the drugs and the red lights, it's a pity. Come for the incredible atmosphere this place has, walk every street and forget about home!

    Do rent a bike! It's the best way to move around the city. I know it looks scary but once you're in a bike it's much easier to navigate around.

    I love Amsterdam, this is the greatest city in the world. My tip would be to go and have a nice beer on a terrace looking over the amazing canals.

    Amsterdam is a city with lots of culture, beautiful sceneries and nice things to do on the outside. Two or three days are enough to visit.

    Coffeeshop De Kroon lies just a few steps away from some of the most important attractions, making it an ideal base to stop for a bit and recharge after a long day of sightseeing. Read more

    Head for the Visitor Information Center to get more info on boat tours & nearby tourist attractions. Souvenir shops are aplenty around the area.

    When it is dark and you are riding your bike, you should definitely turn on the lights otherwise you may get a penalty.

    This is one crazy place. I've been to every single European country and I can tell you by first hand experience that I haven't seen any other country being so disappointing for a pedestrian. Nightmare

    The Dutch love wearing clogs. A funny thing you can do is ask any Dutch person if you can borrow their clogs. They love it. They also only eat cheese and tulips.
