Amsterdam

[Rob.]

Me and mates are thinking of going over for a few days, any of you been there?

Be great if you could share some info to where to stay how much we need and where to go

Bacon windmills prostitutes and weed. In that order

Me and grace went for 3 days in the summer. Went on the ferry and it costed £120 each for 2 nights on ttheferry and one night in an amazing hhotel. Beer was incredibly expensive at 5 euro a pint in the main bits but there's other things to do than drink...

We absolutely loved it. So chilled

5€ isn't that expensive for beer, that's only London prices mate. I went to Rome back in 2011 and a Coke can sized beer was €4.90 in most places, if not more.

As with most places, if you venture a little further from the centre there will be cheaper places too, around the €3.50 mark I'd guess.

That's very true. Used to Spain prices though when it's 1 euro for a massive bottle of San Miguel.

I think what I meant to say was don't go if you're expecting it to be a cheap boozy piss up!

Try Venice, girl I was with paid €18 for a single vodka lemonade.

Amsterdam is wicked though. Just stay at any relatively central hostel (last time I went was over last NYE and we stayed in 'Tourist-inn Hotel' which was decent enough, you can see titties from the window). I don't really know about much of the touristy stuff other than just strolling red light but can give you the coffee shop low down if that's your thing.

Go to Sofia in Bulgaria. Or Bratislava in Slovakia. You won't forget your weekend in a hurry.
