Tourist trap and all but well worth a visit if a bit hung over and the free ale will top you up nicely for the evening ahead. Title: Amsterdam Post by: lebowski on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 22:30:11 check out the "paradiso" and "melkweg" websites to see if there are any decent bands on.
wouldn't bother with the van gogh museum - shit. Title: Amsterdam Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 22:31:26 its hardly shit is it.
its like saying anne franks house is a little small. Title: Amsterdam Post by: lebowski on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 22:33:01 he is a shit artist. even admitted it himself.
Title: Amsterdam Post by: lebowski on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 22:33:35 or was a shit artist.
but as we still "appreciate" his work now then i suppose present tense is acceptable. Title: Amsterdam Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, 23:24:48 I went to Van Gogh museum and it was so full i couldnt see any of the pictures!!! and anne franks house was too crowded so i never got in.

Little Man Tate are playing at the Paradiso. Supposed to be pretty good? Title: Amsterdam Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, July 25, 2007, 19:03:55 Can anyone recommend cheap hotels/hostels?
Title: Amsterdam Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, July 25, 2007, 19:07:29 Has to be the Bulldog, not the cheapest hostel but they have their own bars and coffee shops and are a cracking place to start on a first visit.
There's one in leidseplein, which is where all the bars are and there's another tucked in the Red Light district. http://www.bulldog.nl/ Title: Amsterdam Post by: Cookie on Thursday, July 26, 2007, 08:27:26 And the bulldog breakfast keeps you going for most of the day.
