Old hippie....Looking for info on Amsterdam tours

spontcumb · #1 11-30-2007, 12:26 PM

Greetings to all!!

I apologize if I'm putting this post in the wrong place, (still fairly new here). I was wondering if anyone has any info on where/how to find the best deals on trips to Amsterdam? I'm in the US in Wisconsin. I would also enjoy hearing about other's who've visited the city. Any good stories to tell?

Peace,
Jeff

Hey got back from the Dam 3 weeks ago it rocks. I just paked up my backpack and tent and took off. I didnt do any tours since I have been a couple times beforand know the city. Its very easy to get around Amsterdam the public transit is really good. I recommend staying at Camping Zeeberg Camping Zeeburg Amsterdam - welcome They offer cabins and are open all year round. Its a 10- 15 min Tram ride from cental station. very easy to get to. The have all the emenidies like washer dryer hot shower resturant That you can burn weed in. Also a nice gift shop. If you have any more questions about the Dam let me know I know all the right coffeeshops to go to aswell

If you want to stay in centraal near all of the coffeeshops, you can get a
small hotel room for around 60 euro ($75-$80). Like I said, the rooms are
small but your paying to be in the heart of Amsterdam.

You could also stay in one of the many hostels around the city and save
alot of money...just bring a sleeping bag or something.

Hey, thanks for the information. A couple of years ago, I promised my 2 sons that b4 I die, I'm going to take them to Amsterdam. I was there in 1970 on a band tour. I was right there, in Amsterdam. I was like 17 years old and hadn't started smoking dope yet. I kick myself in the ass everytime I think about that lol Oh well, now is the time so thanks again. Peace!

Don't kick your self man the whole smoking in Amsterdam was just getting started in the 70's you would most likely be hard pressed to find the great stuff they have to offer nowadays. I say now is a better time than any to take a trip there. I hope you and your sons have a good time!!! I went with my father last year it was a blast! especially since we are Dutch decent!
