    Anyone from Amsterdam?

    I am going to Amsterdam soon, and I was wondering if anyone here is from there. I just wanted to know of some places to go, and if there are any must-see things?

    Only thing I know about Amsterdam is that they sell *stuff* instead of coffee on Starbucks.
    But I can look up if I can find you any good tips of what to do...

    So, what does'nt you do for your friends on RS6.com?
    I asked a Amsterdam-traveler about what to do and not do.
    Here's his tips (he left them to me in swedish so I will only list them):
    - Visit the nightclub called La which opens in 6 am and closes at noon. In the harbour there's a yellow house (only description he gave) who also opens at 6 am where you will find really nice partys.
    - Pay a visit to the Vondelpark
    - And ofcourse visit the Van Gogh museum and the Heineken museum (which I did'nt know they had).

    And some basic "how to behave and do" rules:
    - Do NOT ask for stronger shit on the coffee-shops (I wounder how he has come to that conclusion).
    - The best way to travel is by bike (there's rental bikes available) - but remember to ALLWAYS look it down.
    - Watch out for trams
    - Watch your back if you visit the red light district.
    - The city has a high rate of person robberys - watch out.

    Why do I get the feeling that Amsterdam isn't the best city to visit in Europe?

    Regards
    /peter

    Don't forget to give a look at the Amsterdam Arena. It is a big football-stadion from Ajax with a roof wich can opened and closed!
    It is the first football-stadion wich have this possibility

    Most day's there are excursions in this stadion wo give a look at the impressive list of prices wich ajax won, you can watch a special video about Johan Cruiff, and of course they give you a look in the stadion and the beautifully rooms there are.


    Hope you enjoin Amsterdam !!!!

    I agree with krabu. Come to Stockholm instead. Here we don't rob people, we just run them down with our cars on a "only walking" street.
    2 people killed and about 20 injured. :eye: His explanation, someone controlled the car with a remote control...
    If you come to Sweden, watch your back when walking on our streets! :bang:
