Time Out Amsterdam

by Time Out Guides, Steve Korver (Editor)

Europe’s most infamous city remains one of its most popular, and not without good reason — between its world-class art museums, canals, and coffee shops that don’t exactly specialize in coffee, the city's variety is glorious indeed. However, with one of Europe’s more forward-thinking cultural scenes and striking new architectural developments in IJburg and the Bijlmermeer, there’s much more here to enjoy than the clichés; written, researched and edited entirely by locals, Time Out Amsterdam tells travelers all about it. The guide includes Amsterdam after dark — the best restaurants, bars and nightclubs in the city, but also the ones to avoid, as well as mini-guides to the city’s most notable works of art, and where to find them. Also discover an in-depth look at the city’s stunning new urban architecture and trips beyond Amsterdam, to the flower auction in Aalsmeer, the cheese market at Gouda, the windmills of Alblasserdam, and the fizzing modern city of Rotterdam.

Great for my one-day stint in Amsterdam with my brother. We found what we were looking for... in most cases. There was this floating bar / boat trip around the city's waterways that we had a hard time finding. We had to wind all around the city, but did find it. Only it wasn't in operation anymore and the only way we knew it was the boat was that it was all run down with old bar tables and glasses rolling about on the deck, and there was the faint stamp of a weed leaf on the side, which was painted over with new white paint. But you knew it was the right boat and it looked like people had a pretty bomb time on that thing.

But not us. We ended up taking the cheeseball tour with other tourists in a sanitary / no-booze boat.
