Definitely take a canal tour…you’re get a whole different perspective on the city. You can take one of the modern covered boats or try this place: http://www.amsterdam…

Sea Palace Restaurant: Huge three story floating restaurant in Amstredam’s harbour. They do chinese food but also have an Indonesian Rice Table (sort of like a buffet). Indonesia was a former dutch colony so you’ll find lots of them throughout the City. Sea Palace is a bit touristy but very nice setting and good indonesian food.

Go to a brown cafe for a relaxing beer or coffee.

Go on a bike tour

Take the “New Amsterdam Red Light District Exposed” free tour offered by NewEurope (the guys in the red shirts). It was a very insightful tour offering the history and other interesting facts abouth the district.

Thank guys its useful info !

Are their many Indians in Amsterdam and Indian food too?

Finnegan there is actually a free canal tour done by St Nicolaas Boat Club (http://www.amsterdam…). They use tiny little boats, you can byo beer/wine/spirits and go around the canal in the late arvo sun. Sounds great to me.

Bike tours are fun – but I had much more fun just hiring a bike about 7-10 euros a day and just exploring the city.

Not Sure about how many Indians are in Amsterdam, but I saw a fair few Indian and Asian places to eat. Travelon I would try some dutch pancakes or even a falafel as these seem to be big over there.

i did mike’s bike tour

we saw rembrandt’s windmill, a cheese and wooden shoe making place, and got fresh air and a tour of AMS

I’d spend a day in Haarlem, which is compact but very interesting. One of the best organs in the world is in St. Bevo’s, and they play it some afternoons; check the schedule. Also, the Corrie ten Boom Museum, far less commercial than the Anne Frank house.

If you are interested in art, a day trip to the Hague would be well worth it.

The Netherlands also has a good pass that covers many of the museums and will save you money if you are into that.

Whats the best museum?

That depends on you. Some people like modern art; some don’t.

In Amsterdam, http://www.rijksmuse… is renowned. Right next door is http://www3.vangoghm…, no less interesting, and sort of next door is http://www.stedelijk…. the modern art museum (it was closed for extensive rebuilding last year when we were there and their collection was in an office building on the waterfront; alas, most of their best pieces were not on display because the climate control in the office building was not up to standards). Those are just the big three in Amsterdam; there are many more. We wanted to see the Hermitage when we were there, but it too was closed for extensive rebuilding.

In the Hague, http://www.mauritshu… is world-class. My wife liked http://www.escherinh… , and we both were surprised at how good http://www.gemeentem… was.

That is just the surface. try looking at http://www.amsterdam… for information on the card and the museums.
