Amsterdam

Stay somewhere central would definitely be my advice.

It really depends on your budget, It's been years since I have been and I have stayed in some nice hotels in Amsterdam and some total shit holes.

It's a great city though, you'll love it. Watch out for pick pockets, especially in the red light district.

We booked last minute so ended up somewhere beside Museum Square. Literally a minute away. Took us 5 minutes to tram it in. Was decent enough, just a hostel. Wads of young people our age getting blootered in it. Anywhere centralish will be decent.

Only there one night but I found the drink extremely expensive, I was paying about 7/8 euro a pint im sure.

While you were there you should have got a cheap flight to Glasgow,only 1hr30mins away, great nightlife and cheap drink and you can be back in Amsterdam in time to catch your flight home.

Mate just texted me, twas the Globe hostal, central and cheap.

My cousin went to Amsterdam in November, consumed a copious amounts of narcotics, wandered the street naked and clotheslined a policeman off a motorbike. He required 2 operations to fix his mangled arm (my cousin, not the policeman) and they put him in a mental hospital over there. They're putting is down PTSD as he's recently left the army, but 5 days of shrooms and mdma is enough to send anyone a bit loopy.

Amsterdam is great.

Been lots of times.

Head to Rembrandtplein and Leidseplein and you can't really go far wrong.

Have a good one!

Our hotel is on Rembrandtplein. It's a shit hole but will be used for no more than a few hours kip, so no issues there.

Going over on friday for a weekend, planning doing the Heineken experience, anyone got any recommendations for a bevvy at night?

Going over this weekend as well. Everyone who has been a few times has their own favourite places. Do you want to sit with a joint and a pint or or go to some nightclub type place?

Heineken experience is rubbish and a complete waste of money

Probably look to do a bit of both, we've got Friday,Saturday and Sunday night so probably just chill with a joint on Sunday. Guy at work told me about a place called Popeyes(might be wrong) that's good for a smoke

I'll keep that in mind about the Heineken experience but I'll probably be forced into it since my mates will want to do it

If you want a decent beer experience got to Brouwerij 'T ij, much better than Heineken.

Coffeeshop Popeye allegedly sell sprayed Vanilla Kush, I would avoid the place. My personal favourites are Voyagers (near the train station), Utopia  (behind the palace on Dam Square) and Kadinsky (off Damrak) or Paradox (Jordaan) for hash. 1e Hulp is also good but a fair walk from the centre.
