Amsterdam is not only one of the most famous cities in the world, but one of the largest too, its huge. I have been out here a couple of times with some friends of mine, and when we do go, a couple of times a year, we only spend a weekend there, and for me, I would rather spend a little more time in this wonderful city. The hotel that we stayed in was right in the centre of Amsterdam, so all of the local tourists attractions were really close to us, as were the best restaurnates I have eaten in. There are so many shops here as well, and you can buy lots of things for a lot cheaper than you would in the UK, like alcohol for instance.

One thing that I noticed is that there are a lot of cars in this city, and with the streets being as narrow as they are, it is really hard to find somewhere to leave your rental car, if you get one. However, they have introduced a perfect way around this, by using a tram system, meaning you say on any rental expenses, and you can get around the whole city. I would say to you that before you go, by a tour guide book or something like that, as there are so many things to see and do, that it would be a good idea to make a list before you travel and it makes it much easy when you get there. Most of the people I know only go there to buy cheap products like cigarettes, and of course pay a visit to the infamous red light district, which is some parts of the world, is what Amsterdam is famous for, but for me, I like the city for what it is. It is a brilliant place to visit, and I have the pictures to prove it.

Summary: Good experience
