My thoughts about Amsterdam:
Good:
- It is fun to ride around on bikes.
Bad:
- It is not nearly as awesome as my expectations, disappointed.
- The nightlife is fairly lame, and the ratio of girls to guys is really bad.
Other:
- It is a really touristy city in general.
- The city is quite small compared to other European cities I have visited.
- Since Dutch is the primary language, some stuff can be confusing.
What I did / Where I went:
Inner Amsterdam Hostel
A good place to stay for a cheap price. It is clean and has helpful staff, but there isn't much to do there.
Anne Frank House
There was a long line and it was fairly expensive, but it gives a good insight into the life of Anne Frank.
Heineken Tour
A little more expensive than other brewery tours at ~13E, but it was my favorite so far with a very modern feel.
Ultimate Party Pub Crawl
Make sure to pre-game or show up early for the free starter shots of vodka. For the price (~18E?) it was a decent value since you got a free drink at each bar and also shots of pre-mixed vodka in between. However, in our group it was mostly just guys which was lame.
What more I should have done:
Gone outside the city into the countryside of Holland to see some windmills and tulips.
