If I had 20 years again I would spend some time living here and enjoying this beautiful and vibrant city. I wasn't expecting too much before my trip but I found it interesting and very enjoyable. And I'm not referring to the liberal way of life in what regards to drugs or sex. That may drive many young people to visit the Netherlands but it is not my case. The city is so picturesque with all its channels, flowers and twisted buildings. People are young, active and nice, riding those old bikes everywhere. Besides, I love Rembrandt and my visit was during the celebration of his 400 years (birth or dead? I can't remember).
All in all. Visit Amsterdam, it's an excellent city to combine with either western, eastern or nordic destinations. By the way, Maxima, the princess and future queen is Argentine so there is a special bond with my country now.

Glad you had such a nice visit to Amsterdam! I spent a few days there last May and had a great time cycling all around and going to the opera and concerts. I agree that it is a beautiful and vibrant city.
A very sound advice for spending some days at Amsterdam in your intro! I could not say it better. BTW, Pasta di Mamma is at: PC Hooftstraat 52, PJ.
