Where can I go in Amsterdam?

Question

I'm going to amsterdam next month, can you reccomend anywhere i HAVE to go?

and be more specific than "Red light district"

I mean can you name any specific coffee shops (I LIKE A DRUUUGSSS!! IT'S A NIIIICCCEEE!!) or other lovely institutions

Answer 1

Yes, Amsterdam is FANATASTIC. Even without the "coffeeshops", what a great place to visit. Try to venture a little beyond the train station area where alot of the shops have a minimum (usually alot more than you would be able to smoke in one setting!), and you will find the smoke a little more affordable and the people a little cooler.

I remember De rokerij (Leidsesstraat 41) to be the coolset one we visited. The booth is in the back, very comfortable seats and great vibe. At the bar they will supply you with a freshly cleaned bong, with new water! They have a few shops now, but the aforementioned one was the one we enjoyed the most! If you google the name, their web site comes up.

Top ten things to do in Amstersdam; (in no particular order)

2. Visit the Van Gogh Museum
3. Ride the trolley (make sure you pay, fines are very hefty)
4. See Cirque Du Soleil
5. Hang out in Damn Square
6. Walk through the Red light District (partake if you'd like, I did not)
7. Smoke! Smoke! Smoke!
8. Hash & marijauna museum. (small & cheesy, but some pretty big growths!)
9. Heineken Brewery Tour (lots of free beer)
10. Check out the flower market

Answer 2

Amsterdam is for sure a very fine city to visit. There is art (Rijskmuseum and Van Gogh are good, also many galleries), just walking around the center is also okay. Those are the must-do's.
Most Amsterdam inhabitants speak English, in shops you can buy everything without speaking Dutch. Be sure not to visit only for drugs. A canaltrip is really wothwile.
Amsterdam is very relaxed about soft drugs, but not about hard drugs. Coffeeshops like The Buldog are the biggest, but there are others as shown below.

Answer 3

if you are interested in art then amsterdam has the finest museums and gallerys in europe....one good tip..you can purchase daily 1 2 3 4 or more days tram tickets a really good way of seeing the city....get a tram map and hop on and off as many times as you like.....there is a booth at the train station....the no 25 tram does a loop round the city

Answer 4

The best space cake ever is to be found in The Greenhouse Effect it is 5 minutes walk from central station on Warmoestratte directly opposite hill street blues (if you like that sort of thing).
Also try the Supper Club in the Leidesplein it is quite expensive but i have never been to nightclub like it in my life, it has to be seen to be believed, Dancing, Dinner and a lie down if you like.
