I'm taking a weekend holiday in Amsterdam sometime next month and want to know the places to go since it'll be only a weekend. Apart from that I'm also looking for the perfect (not expensive) travel package.
Guide
I'm 24, Male and we live in London.
Going with a friend 25, Male on a Friday Morning to return on Sunday.

Amsterdam is noted for many outstanding museums, including the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, Rembrandt House Museum, the Anne Frank House, and its world-class symphony orchestra, the Concertgebouworkest, whose home base is the Concertgebouw. Notable are also its red-light district, de Wallen, and its numerous "coffee shops" selling cannabis.
Weather
Amsterdam enjoys a moderate temperate climate, with the weather patterns being strongly influenced by Amsterdam's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the prevailing westerly winds. Winters are mild and average above freezing, although frosts are not uncommon during periods of easterly or northeasterly winds that blow from the interior of the continent. Summers are comfortably warm but seldom hot. However, although days with measureable precipitation are common, Amsterdam does not have an overly wet climate and averages less than 760 mm (30 inches) of precipitation annually. The amount of precipitation seems heavier than it actually is, as much of it falls as protracted drizzle or light rain. Cloudy and damp days are common, particularly in the cooler months.

just get out of your hotel and start walking around, amsterdam looks like an openair museum, and there is so much to see, that you won't have to plan...

I only go to have a little fun with the hookers and to do some Opi. Otherwise it's a pretty worthless place.
