Amsterdam day trip...

[MadMullah]

There's a group of us going there on a day trip next month

can anyone recommend any good places - i've had a read up but i thought personal recommendations would be good too.

we're non-drinkers so no pubs etc - though a walk thru the red is still happening! *LOL*

can anyone recommend any good canal tour companies??

As you come out of central station walk across the road and you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to canal tours. They are all the same in terms of price etc.

Go to Ann Franks house, then have an Indonisian Rice table. Its a meal that consists of twelve courses and is delicious. Then just walk and soak up the city.

Got to Ann Franks house

Not the best idea on a day trip, they'll spend a large portion of their limited time queueing

Not if you book online in advance. A limited amount of tickets are released, but you do need to book very early. We went for a week recently, and couldn't get tickets at the start of our trip.

If you can't make it to Ann Frank's hose, the Dutch Reistance Musum is a short walk away and a worthy alternative. All about how the Dutch authorities and population coped with life under occupation. Absolutely fascinating.

If you eat meat, Cafe de Klos is worth a visit.

Come out of centraal station, go across the road and walk up damrak (street name) turn left at hooters (if it's still there) and get lost in a life of cafes and sex shows

[MadMullah]

hooters you say?



Thanks guys - i was looking to anne franks house - just need to ahve a talk if the other guys would be intrested. whilst i enjoy that kinda thing i might just go for a walkby rather than go inside.

if i was there for a day, i would do a boat trip, then a walk round the red light district, just to say you've seen it.

i thought it was scruffy to be honest,

anne franks house was ok, its just a maze of rooms interconnecting, not surprised she managed to hide for so long!
we had a nice meal from a restaurant just over the road and to the left from the station above a bar.

It was ok but i dont think id bother going back.

its come up on the cheap hence we're going on the day trip thing. P&O got a buy one get one free on a day cruise so its working out at around £35 per person - £10 for parking £5 for day pass public transport and then any extras

none of us are really into the hookers scene - though i'm going to try and get some of the guys to eat some of the brownies etc.
