Title: Amsterdam
Post by: elektrikluv on September 06, 2009, 10:39:14 AM: I'm going to Amsterdam tomorrow, just for a few days with friends.

For those who've been, can you recommend any interesting places to see or things to do?

Other than the red light district/smoke weed.

You have to go Zaanse Schans then, its just 10 miles outside of Amsterdam and there is a bus going there twice per hour from the Central Station in Amsterdam. It's as Dutch as you can get and really recommended for an hour or two :)

It looks like this:

That's pretty cool if you want to get out of the city for a bit. I even enjoyed going there, some time ago.

Seriously, the world is already full of museums, but not many countries have legal weed.

I really like the zoo (Artis), but it's not really a special zoo, so I wouldn't recommend it for somebody spending limited time in Amsterdam.
Otherwise I honestly don't know. To me cities are places to find nice drinking locations, and drink.
