Something fun and free! Most people arrive at Central station and go out the front doors. If you want to do something fun and free go out the back. There you will find three small ferries. Each one will take you to a different location. The trips are only 5 to 10 minutes each, but give you a great chance to see things from a different angle. Also you can get some great pictures of different types of boats and ships. The first one was my favorite, I had no idea that I would have the opportunity to see a real Russian Submarine. The second one goes straight across, and while the shortest trip it has a great little place to grab a cup of hot coffee. I'm sure they serve other drinks and food, but the day I was there was cold, all I wanted was something hot to drink. The third one, goes to the right. If the cruise ship is in, you will have a great chance to grab a picture. While I would not suggest doing in place of a cannel ride, it does complement it. For people traveling with kids, it should rate a 10! Shutter bugs will love it too. While these boats don't carry cars, they do take bikes, cycles, mini cars, dogs...

Buy bulbs in season only. So this is Autumn for Tulips and all spring flowering bulbs. From August till Christmas. The flowermarket is a very good place to buy, you will find a bigger selection and better prices but avoid the souvenirplaces. | flyingscot4 Sun Feb 4, 2007 01:25 UTC
Great comment about Dutch police. I have found the very same thing. One can also add that they tolerate no bull----! Even though pot smoking is tolerated, it is not legal. Don't light up in front of a copper. | Sniper78 Mon Jan 16, 2006 16:40 UTC
I have been doing some research to see where to spend some of my vacation time and your information is very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to write what you did in order to help out fellow travellers. | JetlagCity Fri May 27, 2005 21:27 UTC
Great tip on the free ferries, and I wish I'd known about the tulip museum before my trip! Also, excellent point about how the red light district & the coffeeshops are only one aspect of Amsterdam. |
