Things to do in Amsterdam

[Alixw]

Me and my boyfriend are going to Amsterdam for the Easter weekend. Do any of you know some good places to visit, eat and drink in etc. We don't have that much time there so want to make the most of it!! Thanx!!

I would definitley reccommend a look around the Madamme Tussauds waxwork museum. That is a great laugh. Some of the people in there you may not recognise but the vast majority of the models are known to English people.

When I went for a couple of days I went on a canal cruise. I know that sounds a bit boring but it actually turned out to be quite fun and a very good way to go sightseeing. The best time to go on a canal cruise is a night because all of the tunnels are lit up. When we finished our canal cruise we went to a chinese restaurant called Floating Sea Palace. This is a wonderful restaurant and I would definitley go there again. The meals are absolutely gorgeous and the restaurant itself is very well decorated.

At the night time if you want a good laugh, the red light district is a good place to go ;)

Hope that was helpful for you. Hope you have a good time.

I would try and have alook round the Rijksmuseum and/or the Van Gogh Museum - both of which are fantasic. Also jusk walk around the canals - the houses are beautiful - and the Jordaan area where there are some lovely little shops, cafes and buildings.

As for eating and drinking I would suggest a Spanish/tapas Restaurant called Duende (Lindengracht 62) which has a great atmosphere and serves fantastic food

Oh, and also a bar/pub called In de Wildeman (Kolksteeg 3) which serves over 200 types of bottled and draught beers. Amsterdam is a fab city, I'm sure you'll have a great time!

I also forgot to mention - avoid the sex museum! However interesting it may sound it is a load of rubbish!!!
