Amsterdam Reviews

Getting there Like us, the majority of visitors from the UK arrive in Amsterdam by plane. On this occasion we flew with BA from London City airport and had no problems with the service at all. London to Amsterdam is one of the shortest flights I have ever taken, lasting no more than 40 minutes. Basically enough time for a drink and a ...  Read the complete review

I went to Amsterdam last october with my boyfriend. We had been together a month and thought lets go have some fun. We got our flights from BMI baby, they cost approx £60 each for the return, absolute bargain! I found this deal online through the BMI baby website. The flight itself lasted around 45 minutes, for somebody who is terrified ...  Read the complete review

I visited Amsterdam earlier this year in February and I can really recommend a winter trip as the city looked beautiful when it started to snow! This was my first trip to Amsterdam and at first I was a bit wary about going. All I knew of Amsterdam was it's reputation for it's relaxed attitude to the red light district and cannabis. As ...  Read the complete review

The city of Amsterdam, in Holland, was the place of my brilliant holiday five years ago and the truth is that I was impressed so much, that it was important for me to visit it again, so I went back ealier this year. Some call it the second Venice bacause of its channels of the rio Amstel which can be sailed down. Some say that it is a city full ...  Read the complete review

Mention the word Amsterdam to someone and they'll probably conjure up images of window girls and soft drugs. And to be honest, you're not too far wrong! Amsterdam is a great city if you like those sorts of things, but is also a great place to visit for the history and culture too (although I did concentrate more on the window girls, if I'm honest) ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands has often been misconceived as the place where youths go to take advantage of the lax laws on Marijuana smoking, and men go for stag weekends in the red light district, however Amsterdam is so much more than that. Amsterdam was founded in the 12th century and has a huge amount of history to ...  Read the complete review

Quickly on the heels of our trip to Mexico (thanks to all who read/rated/commented) it was a friend’s 40th birthday and six of us (three couples) had booked at the last minute to go to Amsterdam for the weekend. I had heard lots of stories, especially surrounding the Red Light District & smoking cannabis, although had also heard that Amsterdam ...  Read the complete review

I've been to Amsterdam Airport more times than I can remember. Living in Cardiff, taking the KLM flight to Schiphol and changing was quicker than going all the way to London. But I'd never actually left the airport, I was always just there in transit. To be honest, I'd never felt any great pull to leave the airport and look around the ...  Read the complete review

At the advice of others, I used the search engines on the web - each time I found something on the web, then ...  Read the complete review

I love to shop at Tesco, as there are so many fringe benefits. You might be wondering why a review of Amsterdam starts off with a mention of the nations biggest supermarket. Over here in Ireland Tesco run a scheme where every €10 spent gives you a saving stamp which you save up for flight break coupons. You can have flights to major European ...  Read the complete review

My wife and I have just had a weekend with another couple in Amsterdam. We had nothing planned other than turn up and see what it was like. I booked the flights on-line (Easyject) and the hotel (Octotravel). In all, it cost us £138 each. The flight lasts about 45 minutes, you are landing before you know it. The trip from the airport ...  Read the complete review

Let's get straight to the point. Amsterdam is not place you want to be taking your granny. Or you mum. And perhaps your girlfriend should be left at home too. There are many op's on here singing the praises of this cultural and vibrant city. And too right. I'm sure there are some lovely buildings to see and museums to ...  Read the complete review

Sex, drugs, booze...not in this review! I have recently returned from a short break away in Amsterdam. As many of the other reviewers have told you about the drugs and the surreal experience of the ‘red light district’ I shall seek to inform you of the other, less taboo, cultural delights. ...  Read the complete review

The plane was to leave at 5.50pm the flight took 55 minutes & they are an hour ahead of us time wise. We got off the plane at Schipol ...  Read the complete review
