Amsterdam Things to Do Tips by slang75

This was one of my 2 favorite museums in Europe. It's the perfect size for a lazy afternoon. It's laid out perfectly. Just follow the art and find out about Van Gogh from his earliest works to his most famous pieces.

Grab a snack and board a boat for a 30 minute informative cruise through Amsterdams famous canals. It's a different view from the middle of the canal. We decided on one at the corner of rokin and spuni (forget the name) and it was around 6e for each. Well worth it. I'm sorry we didn't take 2 cruises, one in the afternoon and one at night. Get the digicam ready and shoot away.

It's not all that bad, as long as you just look. I've seen department store ads worse then this. It's a fairly safe area. We walked through in the afternoon and later at night. Don't take photos, but it's ok to look around. It's interesting to see how something we in the states see as an illegal act...or even worse, a SIN, can seem like such an everyday occurance. For a real treat, step into a "novelty" shop.

You should be prepared for well groomed men in suits asking you to watch banana shows and the like! There's also a chance someone will ask you if you're looking for cocca. These are both easily avoided.

Unless of course you're into these things!
