Canal Boat Tours / Canal bike: Take a canal cruise.
  • Tip Rating:

  • Fondest Memory: One of the first thing you should do at Amsterdam is to take a canal cruise down the waterways of Amsterdam. The cruise will enable you to see rows of gable houses and some very beautiful boat houses. Even saw a family having a barbeque on their boat.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Shop at the Ratterman Clog Factory.

    Fondest Memory: Shop for souvenirs at the Clog Factory. The prices are reasonable, and from wooden tulips, to clogs and windmills, you will have plenty of choices. I really regretted not getting a pair of clogs. They're just so pretty.

    Daytrips outside Amsterdam: Take a trip to Zaanse Schans.
  • Tip Rating:

  • Fondest Memory: If you have not seen a traditional windmill yet, then a visit to Zaanse Schans is going to be a worthwhile experience. You've seen enough pictures of beatiful windmills, so why don't go and see the real thing itself?

  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: See the demonstration of cheese making.

    Fondest Memory: Again at Zaanse Schans, you can get to see a demonstation of cheese making. After that, you can get to try different kinds of cheese. For those with the stomach for it, you should try the goat cheese. For myself, I love the smoked and garlic cheese. Don't forget to buy one back.

     Your tips are even new to a Dutch guy like me!

     The clogs may be nice but I think they're harder to walk on than high-heels :)
