Thinking of going to Amsterdam on Sunday for a couple of days but would like to know what the place is like midweek. Does everything shut down and get pretty quiet or is it still jumping? Will it be as busy as weekend because it is bank hols over here you think?

Any advice appreciated.

We had our bank holiday this week (Ascension day) - last BH 'til Christmas. Monday is a quiet day usually - shops here have their half day closing on Monday mornings although I doubt this affects Amsterdam tourist areas. Restaurants tend close on Monday or Tuesday evenings (which should indicate their quiet nights) for their one night per week off, but there should be lots to choose from.

As for jumping... does any city jump at the start of the week?

Basically if you're coming for the weed then you'll find it, and if you're coming for the amazing clubs then forget it - try Berlin maybe, or the Spanish Costas.
