| When I was in Holland, I went to see a few windmills and a tour through a factory that made both cheese and clogs. You should definitely go do that, and stay away from those kids and their marijauana/thump-thump music. |

Heineken Museum, Van Gogh Museum.
Red Light District if you ever want.
Cafes are overrated and over priced. Montreal has better stuff at a cheaper rate.
Don't ever worry about food bro. Pastry shops are everywhere. |

Barney's Coffee Shop for Cannibus Cup Winners, across the street is Barney's breakfast bar - great delicious breakfast (scrambled eggs intense recommended), across the street from Barney's is a really nice dutch bakery for some croissant goods. Baba's is another coffee shop which is pretty touristy.
Hit the heineken factory, van gogh, rijks museum, and house of boles (mixology museum) which comes with 2 drinks at the end. Anne Frank house but its kinda boring.
Other then that, it's pretty much it. A few other spots - city centre, leidsplein, museumplein, and vondel park.
Red light and the canals make for some good pictures.
also - 'if you see only. say something'
you'll know just look for the BNE's |

I heard that if you find the end of the lasers, there will be a pot of golden pills guarded by a trance-midget.
But that's ridiculous, we all know lasers don't have ends and that midgets aren't real. |

no man, midgets are real.... when I was a kid I was abducted by midgets. The government's covering them up in order to protect the military-industrial complex... they have a secret base where they're reverse engineering a crashed midget ship... where do you think the smart car came from? Don't be a sheeple! The truth is out there, man. |

THIS. Don't pay for a damn taxi from the airport. Take the trams or even rent a bike i you want to get around but don't have time / care to walk
Pretty much everything has already been said. Vondelpark is really nice and starting to get busy with picnics etc when it's sunny.
All in all, it's a nice, compact and relaxing city to hang out in without feeling overwhelmed or rushed to go see a ton of sites /museums etc unless there's really something that you already know you want to see.
Also, keep a map in your pocket. The streets in the center are NOT straight even though it sometimes seems like you might be walking in a relatively straight direction. If you can't find a map, all the tram stops have maps. It's easy to make wrong turns based on the assumption you were walking in a straight-ish line towards your intended destination :) |
