We once entered in a puppet show in Amsterdam, it was pretty funny shit. Especially after the coffeeshop visit. I can't say where it was, it was on a street

Yeah, you're right. Weed and more weed. I think it's some kinda rule when you visit there.

When you go to Amsterdam:

Rule 1. Behave. With all due respect and I am defintly not saying you are like them, but don't be like some many other British who crash all over this place, drunk, high and bothering people. If you manage to do that, the people of Amsterdam will be friendly and open to you.

Rule 2. Go sightseeing by taking a tour on a canalboat. Don't get drunk on the boat, but really listen to the guide explaining the history of the city and its buildings and see how pretty Amsterdam really is, especially viewed from the water.

Rule 3. Go to the Rijksmuseum to see Rembrandt, Vermeer and other great masters and then to the Vincent Van Gogh museum. Both located on the Museum square. If you like classical music there is usually a performance of that in het Concertgebouw, also on the same square.

Rule 4. Go to see the red light district, but again behave, unless you prefer spending the night in jail or being beat up by some other punks.

Rule 5. To go out for drinks there is a lot to do in and around het Rembrandt plein (square) and Leidseplein.(lots of tourists there too always). But if you prefer something more quiet and traditional places, just go a little bit out of the center, stroll around town, towards the river Amstel and you will pass lots and lots of little, authentic bars where you can often drink untill the early hours.

I see also that you will be staying for two weeks. That could give you the opportunity to see more of the Netherlands if you like. If you would, I would recommend you to go and see the Delta works in Zeeland. Also the windmills and how they make dutch cheese in the 'Zaanstreek' and how they catch fish in Volendam and Monnickendam. If the weather is good, go to the beach at Scheveningen in the morning and spend the afternoon and evening in The Hague. There is a lot more tho', but that would get you somewhere I guess.

oops sorry, just misread your post, its only a weekend that you are going, plus you are getting drunk AND high!

Yes its fun....I went there with a Dutch friend of mine a few years back - but i hear its become much less liberal than it used to be!

In the red light district you see prossies dancing in the shop windows!

Also the sex shops have some really hardcore stuff in there, I was a little shocked at first!

You can buy weed in the coffee shops but they are cracking down on drug tourism now so be aware!

When I last went there when they had the Queen's day celebration (end of April/early May) its like one big festival/party!!

I agree with Trem, the boat trip is worth it. Also try to see Anne Franks' house...its pretty moving though.

Hey FF, I see you were impressed by the red light district. Who would have thought that! did you also go to the sex museum? or the torture museum?

No, I can't tell you are drunk, you'r typing very clearly, so I don't believe you are drunk at all.

So, I'll respond, because this tread is going astray!

What do you want to do with your friends? Go clubbing? Visit bars?
What kind of musictaste do you and your friends share? Or what kind of scenes do you like?

Or are you the cultural types and interested in art? If so, what kind of art?

Where are you staying? In what part of Amsterdam?

Actually, there are tourists that visit because they apreciate the sheer beauty of the city, the architecture, the museums, the atmosphere in the non-tourist cafes and terraces, strolling along the Amstel towards nearby villages. They aren't drunk and stoned.

True story. I've seen them with my own eyes.

Me too. Most really aren't like that. It's usually the younger crowd, with some nationalities being particularly annoying.

I was joking hence the "LOL" at the end

**Local people don't save you out of a gutter where you are lying mumbling in your own puke. They will just walk by and notice your an Englisman.

Rule 2. Go sightseeing by taking a tour on a canalboat. Don't get drunk on the boat, but really listen to the guide explaining the history of the city and its buildings and see how pretty Amsterdam really is, especially viewed from the water.

**Yep. Do this before you get drunk and high. Really, it is a beautiful city! Especially the centre with it's canals and canalhouses.

Rule 3. Go to the Rijksmuseum to see Rembrandt, Vermeer and other great masters and then to the Vincent Van Gogh museum. Both located on the Museum square. If you like classical music there is usually a performance of that in het Concertgebouw, also on the same square.

**Don't bother. It's crowded with tourists.

In the centre (entrance is hidden in the Kalverstraat) there is the Amsterdam Museum of history. Not too big, however, oftentimes good exhibitions and gives a nice and quick overview of the history of the city. Also a great terrace with nice coffee, and you can see 17th century paintings in the gallery of shooter companies. I def recommend that one. Also, there is a nice cafe in the ally nearby. I don't know the official name of the cafe, only know it's called 'de Engelse reet' in laymen terms.

http://en.amsterdammuseum...seum-visit

Another museum that I would recommend is Museum van Loon. It is the house and interior of an aristocrate family in the golden ages. Also, from 17th till 21 august there is an opera (45 minutes no worries) in the garden. I think that attending the opera in that scenery and afterwards visit the museum with only the opera visitors, so not crowded with tourists, is a lifetime experience!

http://www.museumvanloon....145615.php

Or, you want to go with the horde of the standard horde of low life tourists and visit the sex museum. (I have to admit I've visited that museum 1th January )

Rule 4. Go to see the red light district, but again behave, unless you prefer spending the night in jail or being beat up by some other punks.

No. I don't see how anybody with a conscience can consider the sexual exploitation of women a fun tourist attraction. The red light district is a disgrace.

(and when you do go, make sure you visit the "San Fransisco" at zeedijk. Fun and sleezy, late night bar, I've ended up there oftentimes when the rest of the city is closed. Also, the Winston Kingdom is a great place for a drink/dance and nearby is a nice club, it's on the corner of warmoestraat and dam)

Rule 5. To go out for drinks there is a lot to do in and around het Rembrandt plein (square) and Leidseplein.(lots of tourists there too always). But if you prefer something more quiet and traditional places, just go a little bit out of the center, stroll around town, towards the river Amstel and you will pass lots and lots of little, authentic bars where you can often drink untill the early hours.

At the rembrandt plein I would advice you to go to restaurant Shiller (not the hotel!!!) It's small, and you have to look for it, however, it's worthtwile. Have diner there, it's truly good food for a reasonable price and the interior brings you right back to the '20s of last century. It's art deco and it looks as if nothing has changed. A true beautyful secret in the city.

Furthermore, for clubbing, I would advice to go to studio 80. Again, hidden and underground, great place. Since one year there is club air. I still haven't got around to visit it. It's a 'cool' place, however not as schmuck as Jimmy Woo.

I see also that you will be staying for two weeks. That could give you the opportunity to see more of the Netherlands if you like. If you would, I would recommend you to go and see the Delta works in Zeeland. Also the windmills and how they make dutch cheese in the 'Zaanstreek' and how they catch fish in Volendam and Monnickendam. If the weather is good, go to the beach at Scheveningen in the morning and spend the afternoon and evening in The Hague. There is a lot more tho', but that would get you somewhere I guess.

Never mind, don't read that and don't even go there.

oops sorry, just misread your post, its only a weekend that you are going, plus you are getting drunk AND high!
