Amsterdam
When in Amsterdam there are several things we can do:
- Take a canal cruise.
The Amsterdam canals recently made it on Unescos list. It gives you a good view of the city from the water.
- Visit the cities musea.
We've got the Rijksmuseum which stores paintings by several Dutch masters such as van Rijn, Vermeer, Steen and Escher to name a few.
We've also got the Vincent van Gogh museum and the Anne Frank museum (Which is situated in her former house.)
- Go clubbing.
If there is one thing we're good at, it's partying. Clubs are massive and are open until very early in the morning. There's lounge bars, pubs, nightclubs and what not. You can pretty much party for 24 hours straight if you know where to go.
- Concert hall.
Gorgeous building and the concerts are not too expensive to visit.
Free concerts on Wednesdays.
- The Albert Cuijp market.
An open air market where you can buy all kinds of gadgets and trinkets and pets. It's pretty big and would be nice to walk around for an afternoon.
- Replica of the Amsterdam.
Old VOC ship that lies in the harbour of Amsterdam. I'm not sure if it's open to public, but we'll just fight our way in if we have to.
Additional information:
The public transportation is really, really good over here so we can visit surrounding places like Volendam (Authentic, Dutch village.)
I'm sure Frank wouldn't mind adding a few things to do in Amsterdam.
I think hostels are a lot more expensive over here in comparison to most major cities, so that works out rather well.
It's a very dynamic and international city, great gay scene as well for those of you who are into that.
