the park hotel is very nice and well located, without being smack-bang in the middle of everything...

The Van Gogh museum is fantastic, even if art isn't your thing.

Visit the Ann Frank house but later in the day when the queues are less - very moving

Rijksmuseum and Van Goph museums were very good, as was the canal boat ride. Eating out was extremely expensive so do some research on restaurants away from the touristy areas.

Do your own research you lazy f***. Google is your friend.

For me, the trip to Amsterdam is never complete without a spell sitting on an abandoned armchair, that has been precariously placed on a makeshift raft, in the middle of the canal.

It wasn't me you understand, and I won't mention names, but he's knows who he is.

Stayed here in October last year. Inexpensive, clean, friendly staff and fairly central without being slap bang in the middle of the nightlife.

One thing though - if you or anyone you are going with has a problem climbing stairs, do not go to this hotel!

It is also shut at the moment as is the Rijksmuseum.

Pah. all you need to know about food in Amsterdam is FEEEEEEBOOOOOO

Frikandel speciaal en frites met pindasaus alstublieft.

Since I quit drinking I can't eat from them anymore. Weird - when I was drinking I thought they were the most fantastic invention in the world!

I must admit to getting withdrawal symptoms from frikandellen. I normally have at least one within the hour of arriving in Holland.

And a makeshift OAR from a plank of wood.
How I remained dry from that I'll never know.
