how much, does an average tourist spend, in amsterdam, in a day?

Question

I am thinking about going to Amsterdam, and was wondering how much money I need to bring. I want to visit coffe shops, and drink tasty beverages. Can I get by on 85 bucks a day, not including lodging?

Answer 1

All depends on what you want to do.

I'd count
-30 dollars a day for food and drinks
-10 dollars for museums
-10 dollars for transportation
-10 dollars for coffee shops
-15 dollars for unexpected expenses

If you want to visit night clubs and strip clubs, you'll need a lot more. But normally you'll do just fine with 85 dollars.

Have a nice trip! :-)

Answer 2

It all depends on what you want to do. The 85 bucks out be about 63 Euros. The average cost for a drink (i.e. coffee, tea, redbull, coke) is about 3 Euros, and in most of the coffeeshops you are required to buy a drink so you can smoke there. You will spend around 10-25 Euros on each bag of "herb" which could last a day or two. The Van Gogh museum is 10 Euros (for me too expensive and it wasnt worth it) The Anne Frank house is around 8 Euros (meh, it was ok) If you go for about a week, that would be about 450 Euros, not including hostels, so yeah I think you would be fine. I just got back from there for New Years and I spent a large ammount of money, but I also did a lot of stuff. Hey may I suggest staying at FLYING PIG DOWNTOWN (www.flyingpig.nl )they are a great hostel, and I believe if you offer to help clean rooms for like 2 hours a day, they will give you cheaper lodging, just a thought! I would say if you should be fine on 85 dollars a day, just dont go tooo overboard ;) Well have fun, and good luck!

Answer 3

you will be fine with 85 dollars (63 euro).
you sound like you enjoy clubs, try out club11, it's on the top floor of the same building as the stedelijk museum is in.

a pre-rolled joint is 6 euro
a beer is 2 euro
entrance to a club is 10 euro
tickets to shows you can buy 50% off at the ticket shop leidseplein
food in a restaurant is 25 euro p.p
french fries with mayonnaise and a kroket is 5 euro
