Tourist tips again please!!
Going after work on Friday by train to the 'Dam and looking for some info on cheap and decent hostels and stuff to do. Planning to stay for 2 nights and then back home on the Sunday.
Thanks!

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.

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/ |
