Weekend break in Amsterdam

Eriedor · 26 Oct 2007 at 11:41

I require the extensive experience of OcUK for advice on what to do in the 'dam during a weekend break away with the missus.

*Awaits the obligatory "sell her to brothel" comments

Coffee shops are a must, there's some nice ones once you got out of Amsterdam Centraal

Why would you take the missus to Amsterdam!

PureAppleJuice · 26 Oct 2007 at 12:05

It's a lovely place, that's why!

Sounds like a flat weekend to me.

Only joking, it's great fun. You have got to try the pastries!

I was there last weekend with the missus, was very nice.

Day 1
Diamond Museum
Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Canal Cruise
Red Light District
Coffee Shops/Bars

Day 2
Heineken Experience
Street Market
More Coffee Shop and Bars

Nether of us "smoke" a great deal anymore so you have to be careful you don't over do it. There's loads more we would have like to have done, but we ran out of time. If you're there on a Saturday night my I recommend the Jazz Cruise, free bar after admission fee

Game of pool and a beer in Rookies, it's a mixed cafe so caters for all. Wicked atmosphere, good music, and you've gotta add your beer mat to the door at the back

The law changed earlier this year, places must now be either "one or the other "

randal · 26 Oct 2007 at 12:17

Didn't know that, thanks for the heads up.

Just Googled, looks like they dropped the booze. Shame

Just walking around the canals is cool esp at night with a little smoke beforehand.

salami1212 · 26 Oct 2007 at 14:31

basically.. get BLAZED off your **** every single night :cool:

branddaly · 26 Oct 2007 at 14:33

Wake up, get drunk, have a smoke, buy more beer and go for a cruise on the pedalo's. Ah wait you said with the missus didn't you.........nah still the same plan.

Definetely go for a play on the pedalos if the weather is warm enough.

R.O.S.S.I · 26 Oct 2007 at 14:39

As said above, me and the missus were there a couple of weeks ago and that was pretty much what we did. Only other thing i would add is to go round Anne Franks house, quite sobering to see the small amount of space the familly had to live in during the war.

Was in the Dam 2 weeks ago for the weekend. Went to Anne Franks house but the queues were absoluty massive. Be there early. We pretty much ended up in coffee shops. Gonna go back with some type of plan in the near future though, so we actually do something

Grasshopper bar is split into 3 levels
cafe downstairs
pub middle
restaurant top.

But your aloud to smoke in the pub, so you buy in the cafe then go upstairs to the bar.
