Amsterdam Guide
Every city has a different and interesting story. We five friends said "Let's go to Amsterdam" and last month visited :) I can say easily that Amsterdam is a city of freedom.
Almost every street has a sex shop and Amsterdam has also a special "Red Light District" which has the rooms for sex.
Every street has a canal ( total more than 200 canals) and each canal has very lovely bridges. Amsterdam also is made for bicyles. You can go anywhere with a bike because thre is no hill in Amsterdam. You can see men which are in their suits or teenangers even very old people while riding a bike. The most transportation is riding bike so you must be very careful while walking.Dont walk on bike roads.People can hurt you!
You can visit the museums like Van Gogh ot Anne Frank if you are interested in the art.You can drink very famous beers like Heineken while visiting museum of it and create your own beer for 6 euros. Do you want to see famous people ? So you can visit Madam Tussauds to see famous people's waxwork.
After than you can take boat tour and see the old houses in Amsterdam from the boat. Tip: Get a card from Heineken Museum when you enter so from the port of Heineken Museum the boat tour for 15 mins will be free ;)
You can rent a bike to discover Amsterdam.( Just 14 Euros for 4 days)
Taking photo is not allowed but I did lol
Sex is legal at Red Light District but taking the photo is not allowed. This district also has coffees. (The coffeeshop list) You also see blue lights on tht street but you must be careful about them :)
You can also visit flower market and get tulip seeds and see more than 1000 different cheeses. We got some and they are awesome.
Cone of Potato
You can get a cone of potato as a snack from every corner. We got a big one every day!
Voldenpark
You can rest in Voldenpark( A video about Voldenpark) which is the biggest park in Amsterdam.
They are really cheap
You can get cheap but wonderful bags (just 5 euros) from second hand market ( Top 5 hand stores in Amsterdam)

Night Life
Supper Club is seems like a night club but it is not a night club. Supper means dinner in American English so you can get really good dinner which are served by wonderful girls.But I must warn you the dinner takes about four hours because it has some traditional rituels. I enjoyed it.
Eat&Drink
Our kebap or Italy's pizza are famous so what is famous in Amsterdam. Actually there is nothing which is famous in Amsterdam. I tasted waffles but honestly I can say it was better in Belgium.But I can offer you some coffee shops or restaurants which I enjoyed.
Cafe De Jaren one of them. I hope you like it too.
You can go to Caffe Esprit if you want to rest for a while after a long shopping :)
What can you buy as a gift ?
Tulip seeds
Funny T-Shirts!
You can buy a very interesting T-shirt,famous cheese or a diamond if you dont care about the money. Traditional shoes or tulip seeds also can be great gifts.
When should you go to Amsterdam ?
I can go to Amsredam anytime but you can choose a date between May and September. I offer you to go on 31st March because of the queen's brithday. You can see many festivals cause of it. But you should book your hotel and flight early.
Shopping
Magna Plaza and De Bijenkorf are the famous stores at Dam Square. Albert Cuyp Market is one of the biggest market in Europe.You can go to Waterlooplein if you are looking for cheap but old fashion things. You will like it.
