Amsterdam is incredibly interesting city and a place that everyone should experience. The bike culture there is perhaps one of the most unique factors of any city I have ever been to. One that should not only be applauded but emulated throughout cities around the world.
The Red Light district is the area that Amsterdam is best known for. No trip would be complete with out a day or two of melting your mind and soul in its dark narrow alleys. However, being from Vancouver where marijuana laws are almost as lax as in Amsterdam, buying weed over the counter and smoking it where ever you please does loose its novelty.
One interesting thing about the sex trade however is that prostitution is legal and the workers pay taxes and even form unions. Like I said, incredibly city.
You really don't need anymore than 2 nights, three days there, because after that you really start doing more damage than needed to your body.
Unfortunately we stayed for 4 nights.
ps. is it amsterdamonians or amsterdamites?
