  • Beware your feet. You will want to walk the entire city...twice! It's easy to do since the city is relatively small.

    Be nice to your feet, jump on a tram once in awhile.

    Bring moleskin for blisters.

    General warnings: Dog poop
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The Dutch are very clean, that must be why they don't like to "curb their dogs"

    Keep half an eye on the ground as you walk. Things are worse if you venture past the touristy spots where dogs are more likely to be.

    Crossing the streets / Traffic: Get it together!!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Amsterdam Crossing the streets / Traffic
  • One of the fast moving "killer"
  • trams

  • You must have a "heads up" attitude when you are in Amsterdam. If you are a pedestrian you must watch for bicycles, trams, cars and whatever else the Dutch have come up with.

    Stepping in front of a bike is a good way to get you and the rider hurt.

    Stepping in front of a tram will probably only get yourself hurt...very hurt.

    There are bike lanes where you won't expect them. They are clearly marked. Try not to stand in the middle of them and check you map.

  • Lots of things are going on around Dam Square, especially on the weekends. Make sure you don't get caught up in all the activity and forget that you must not be a target.

    Be aware of your money, camera and any other personal possessions including spouses. Remember there are people there specifically to rob someone, don't be that someone.

    Don't get too distracted.

     That's too funny. I'll have to people watch and see if I can catch a live action "Tourist Bike Crash" for myself.
