Favorite Thing: Right opposite Centraal Station is the Tourist Information Office - the VVV - and Smits Coffee House. There are also landing stages for all the canal boat companies here. The VVV is good if you have arrived without pre-booking your accommodation, as they will help you find some. You can also pre-book museum tickets here. You won't get a discount, but it does mean that you can jump the queues and go straight in. After visiting the VVV, go downstairs to Smits Koffie Huis. Smits has been around since 1919 and I gather it is one of the oldest wooden buildings in the area. You can sit on the terrace with a coffee and watch the river traffic. I also recommend the ice-cream that contains the orange liquer, it has quite a kick!

It's been ages since I had a peek of Amsterdam. 'been contemplating to visit it one of these days. Thanks for the tips! Am curious about the hotel and had always been my dream to go to Vincent's (Van Gogh) museum. Cheers! | bpacker Thu Apr 19, 2007 03:37 UTC
Thanks for the rijsttafel recommendation. Over here in asia, it's called 'tok panjang' or long table. | Nemorino Thu Oct 26, 2006 19:15 UTC
Sorry to hear that we (cyclists) got on your nerves when you were in Amsterdam. But I notice you also wrote: "maybe next time I will pluck up the courage to rent a bicycle" -- yes, that's what I suggest. It's a healthy & exhilarating way to see the city! | jo104 Wed Jul 19, 2006 13:55 UTC
Amsterdam is just such a great place it always feels like home to me probably the Dutch - South African connection - thanks for sharing :-) Jo |
