Wow, is all that I can say about Amsterdam. Was it everything that I could of imagined it to be? well yes and no. The mad cyclists whizzing down the streets, at times close to running me over was a lot to take in. In addition, the strong odor of marijuana that hovered over the ENTIRE CITY! was well… lets just say interesting. This city is intense, but not so much, if that makes any sense. There are a ton of awesome things to check out in this city such as checking out the Heineken Factory tour, going to the Anne Frank Museum, going to the Van Gogh Museum and much more. Would I go again? heck yeah. Just keep in mind, that you need to bring a lot of cash. This place is definitely not budget friendly for those of you on a very limited budget.
TRANSPORTATION
Getting to Central Station from the airport is relatively easy, and cheap. The train which leaves from platform 1 or 2 costs about 4 euro one way. Bear in mind that many locals use this train as well who are not traveling with luggage, so space is crucial. Try not bringing big or heavy luggage. I would also highly suggest purchasing a “I Amsterdam Card”, which can be found in the airport. This card allows you to have unlimited usage of the public transportation and also free entrances to museums, discounted tours as well as a pretty interesting canal ride.
