How is that anywhere near his route lol
Btw Vertigo, how many days you stay in Amsterdam? I think if you have time a trip to The Hague might be fun, you should see Madurodam, it's NL in small.
http://www.madurodam.nl/en/For Amsterdam I'd like to suggest these things:
- Shopping: Kalverstraat (near 'de dam', where also a Palace of our king is located, as well as Madame Tussaud, a museum with famous people made from clay).
- Red Light district
- Any coffeeshop
- Do a canalboat tour, it's nice and you see a lot.
- Any musea of these: Rijksmuseum (paintings of famous painters), Van Goghmuseum, Anne Frank House, Nemo (science museum).
And things close to Amsterdam I think are worth visiting:
- Zaandam (10km above Amsterdam, easy by bus or train), yes this is really there (and finished now):
- Madurodam (see 2nd line of this post), located in The Hague (60km, easy by train).
- Utrecht (40km by train) > Nice innercity, really old.
I hope this will help you find out what to do.
