I went to a lot of hostel bars, for some reason the bulldog is sticks out.
Also, if the weather is nice, rent a bike! My buddy and I had a blast riding the streets of amerstdam...though be careful b/c they have the riding system down pat, everyone rides in the same direction. My friend crossed lanes and went the wrong way and caused like a 10 bike pileup...hysterical! everyone was yelling at him and i just pulled over and died of laughter. also, make sure you time your activities right, i.e. rent a bike and ride to the coffee shops to get a feel for the biking first, dont go to the coffee shops and then rent a bike. that spells trouble.

nice all good stuff guys! i've been there once but i was 10 so i couldnt do anything good, i saw that big rave at heineken music hall and i def. might check it out even though i know NOBODY that is playing, and it seems like happy hardcore lol
any cool bars you guys know of? |
great bar called the grasshopper (both a bar and a "coffee shop") ..shrooms became illegal there about a year or 2 ago however u can still get em in places with glowing signs saying "smarte shoppe" ..just ask..not all of em have them but most. theres a ton of great local pubs and coffee shops all right by the grasshopper which is right at the end of the damrak (main street in amsterdam) across from central station a bit. you can also go to live sex shows...good times and funny to watch as well. and as mentioned above there is also a club called panama.
and make sure u take advantage of being allowed to PEE IN PUBLIC!! lol....you'll know what i mean as ur walking the streets

Coffee Shops TO HIT
Grasshopper just for pictures, a bit more expensive, don't get the space cakes here...rip off 9 euro!!!!
BABA's - this is my most favorite shop it's a block away from Grasshopper perpendicular to Damrak
Namaste is another good shop to hit.
If you're going south towards Vondel Park, Leidsplein there's a canal coffee shop called Easy Times, it's a bit off the beaten path but once you get in there it's a nice quite spot away from the tourist riff raff.
The sights - Van Gogh definitely, Mixology (I think it's called House of Bols) is a nice museum to hit up...it's kinda expensive like 10EU per person but at the end you get like 2-3 drinks out of it not bad. Red light only at night, steer clear during the morning/day. Heineken is also good to see.
If you feel like hopping the metro - definitely head towards Utrecht, very similar to Amsterdam.
Steer clear of Bulldog Coffee Shops, they are every where and have the same menu.
Types that I found very good, any of the moroccan hash, the turkish creme is also pretty damn good, in terms of the ganja check out Cheese or Blue Cheese best I've ever had.
Another good heady shop is Dampkring, there is a grow house just across the street from Centraal but the main coffee shop is out to the far right passed bulldog when coming out of Centraal Station.
Flying into Schipol take the metro to Centraal, think it's 5EU each way not a problem at all - maybe 15-20min train ride.
Trams, TAKE THE TRAMS! If the weather is nice rent a bike and ride around.
