Akula Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I have been once, but I was there for work and stayed out at Schiphol. I am going with a friend for a few days and wondered opinions on places to go. I am going to Van Gogh this time fo-sho, and I know where the best steak is... But what else? Which coffee shop must I visit? (please don't suggest anything right next to central station because they all suck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supldys Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I read they're getting rid of the "coffee" shops and other things that you go to amsterdam for because its legal...kinda. The reason? Crime, who woulda thunk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Actually, their crime rate is very low. Allowing Pot and Hashish means access is simple so "hard" drugs aren't that sought after. They are going to prune it back but they do that every few years. Also the red light district is up for debate again, some folks don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 It sounds as if you are going to go look around on the side as well, enjoy it. From what I've heard the sights are amazing in Amsterdam. Have a great time, and post on how it was upon return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I am not going there for the red light, though I will have to go see it. I am going to see the stuff I didn't see last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well, just got back (sitting in ORD actually). I had a very good time, saw piles of stuff I wanted to. Didn't get to the Van Gogh or Anne Frank's (long lines) I am going to Brussels next week and have planned an extra day to ride up to Amsterdam again and hit Van Gogh. The thing that stood out the most was the planes were almost empty. There were 105 empty seats on the way over and 65 on the way back.
