It took three visits for Amsterdam to grow on me. The first was a bit of a disaster, the second was too short to form an opinion and the third, a long weekend, was a nice relaxing break.

- Pros:Nice compact city for walking around.
- Cons:Always have to be on guard for pickpockets and bicycles.
- In a nutshell:A nice city for a short break.
