Time Out Amsterdam

by Time Out Guides, Will Fulford-Jones (Editor)

Europe's most infamous city remains one of its most popular, and not without good reason: between its world-class art museums, its eminent canals that are perfect for wandering, and its coffee shops that don't exactly specialize in coffee, its 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, the Time Out Amsterdam guide tells travelers all about it. Highlights include Amsterdam after dark - the best restaurants, bars, and nightclubs in the city; an unmatched section on the city's cultural scene including galleries, performance art, classical music, and theater; and trips beyond Amsterdam to the flower auction in Aalsmeer, the cheese market at Gouda, and the windmills of Alblasserdam.

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.
