About Amsterdam Netherlands Amsterdam is famous for it’s legalised drug use in coffee houses, red light district located in central Amsterdam and liberal community that accepts all walks of life. You will have no problems speaking English as just about everybody speaks English and Dutch. Also many speak German and French. The Netherlands use the Euro along with the other 12 European countries that have recently adopted the Euro. All prices in the Netherlands by law include tax and tips. The standard Dutch practice in restaurants is for the tip to be about 5%. You do not need to leave a tip if the bill says "service not included" and you do not need to tip taxis. The Dutch are passionate about their bikes and you see why when you discover they can be the quickest form of transport in Amsterdam. You can hire a bike from a variety of bike rental companies. When walking around Amsterdam remember to be careful not to walk on the bike paths marked with a red colour if you want to avoid being run over by a cyclist. For longer distances you are better off with catching a tram. Once stamped, a ticket is valid for an hour, regardless of how often you change tram or bus. If you are looking for something to do for free you could take the free ferry behind central station to the other side of the IJ and go for a walk along the North Holland Canal. Alternatively you may prefer to walk up the roof of the New Metropolis and check out the view (follow the rail lines east from Central Station, and cross the footbridge to the big green building that looks like a ship). Amsterdam is a generally a safe city, even at night around the red light district. For your own personal well being don't try to photograph the women in the red-light district. If you are traveling by bike please ensure you lock up your bike correctly using the frame and not just the front wheel. |
