Sex Museum: Bizarre, scary and disturbing.
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Dont go to Amsterdams Sex museum if very graphic and painful images will ruin your day.

    On second thought, just avoid the bondage section, which has painful screams playing on speakers. ahhhhrrghh!

    Under the right influence it can be riot...

    Red Light District / De Wallen XXX: Cheap and Short lived fun
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • What ruins the red light district is seeing creepy guys taking away the desolute woman. The selection of woman did not impress me much either. I dont think it is very large either, but essentially it is like peering into the ladies' bedrooms; large windows for everyone to see.0 Half the time the woman were not even paying attention to the people passing! Why were some of the windows curtains closed i dont know....

    Canals, Bridges and Houseboats: Best part of Amsterdam for me
  • Tip Rating:
  • Trademarks of Amsterdam include the extensive canal network somehow achieving a balance. Take a look at a map to get an idea of all the canals. The bridges are really very charming, never larger than 10 paces across, and each unique. The houses are very homely made of brick for fear of fires, and even! Be sure to get a good profile pic showing the poor dutch engineers! ha

    I highly recommend renting a bicycle boat for four people, and taking turns cycling around Amsterdam for a couple of hours. It is simply wonderful on a nice autumn day. And you can see Anne Frank's house from the water! Make sure you give the real tour boats the right of way though! lol. warning: they are not the easiest things to guide.

    Heineken Brewery / Experience: Beer museum! Ach ja!
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Fairly interesting vintage Heineken Commercials, the various products they have boasted since their conception. There was a cool movie part of the tour, which was decent. Guinness Museum in Dublin is better though.

    But hey you get a free cold one, so what are you complaining for?

    Coffee Shops: Queen Cannibus!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Yes, its all true about amsterdam. Whats more is that seated next to you, youll find locals who are great patrons of the green plant, and do it just like they're cigarettes. A little shocking, but almost guarantee a chillout atmosphere. haha

    A very popular coffeeshop is called the Grasshopper, where you can find mostly tourists. But choose any old shop! be creative. I think it is rather expensive as well, accounting for all the fast food you be purchasing soon afterwards. ;)

    Dam Square: Happening square
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • A must visit, and if your lucky youll see the outdoor urinals they shamlessly place right in the square! See street performers here, who get really creative with the proper influence. One hippy was playing a type of steel drum. hilarious! he was so into it! While enjoying the show, watch out for hardcore bicycle lane commuters, trams roaring through, people and cars! ahh!
