The best place in Amsterdam is the Central Station and the first train out of there. Go Scheveningen, there are nice restaurants on the sea front.

the Sound Garden, gets very busy because of the name but is worth a visit. Wwe usually drink at the Hanneke boom. I am not a big beer drinker (prefer the grape) but Arendsnest bar is meant to be good. Went there a few of my mates, one of them is the kind you see at a beer festival ticking off and rating the beers he has tried, and he was very impressed with it.Originally posted by suityou01 View PostAnne Frank House is a must. Museums are ok, would also like to know good places to eat, and maybe somewhere to spend a few hours sipping the local ale overlooking some moving water.

Segway tour around the city is just brilliant! Best way to see the city without a doubt and great fun every step of the way. Amazing bits of kit.
These guys were great. Only takes 15 mins to get to know them so get a lot of street time.

From what I remember it is just over the river from Ann Franks so can kill two birds with one stone.

My wife basically accused me of going on a drug fueled bugger fest.

I don't think the
will feature some how.

I would recommend the Anne Frank house, and the Van Goph museum. The Begijnhof is worth a visit, not many people i know go there though. There are lots of museums, i went to a few (can't emember the names), the diamond museum is reasonably interesting.

Try thisOriginally posted by suityou01 View PostSo it's my last week here in Guetersloh.
At the end of the week I am driving to Amsterdam to meet with my bessie who is flying in from Luton.
I would like to ask for sensible suggestions of what to do in Amsterdam for the weekend. Also is Brugge worth a look?
TIA
