BAd Points and Good Points of Amsterdam
As some of you may know, I am organising a holiday to amsterdam with my friends. However there is a big downside to it. It is probably the capital city for Drugs and Prostitution. Despite this i have heard of Good points about the city, like the fact that their police are efficient. Can anybody here who's been to Amsterdam before fill me in on the facts, and wether it would be safe for a bunch of 18 year olds who know what they're doing (we're all sensible)?
Thanks in advance

It's a beautiful and interesting city, full of life, and just a very friendly place to be.
You'll spend a lot of time just walking around and admiring the buildings and views, and within a couple of hours of arriving you've believe that you've been there for ever.
UK friends who have taken their (early) teenage children with them have had no problems or worries (although one parent was once offered drugs of some sort while with the youngsters -- she just declined and walked on with no further hassle)
