Big_Dan Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Off to Amsterdam for a night for a (quiet) stag weekend. Unfortunately the fligts are very early Sat morning and coming back late Sun night. So, bearing in mind I have to drive after I get back to the UK on the Sunday, what is there to do after we get turfed out of the hotel? ... and for that matter on Saturday when I can drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpongpo Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Not a lot to be honest. Drugs and sex is what Amsterdam is about for stags tbh unless you're into wandering around Ann Franks house or going to some art galleries. I've been quite a few times now and the last time we went, we went on the seacat from Harwich. Much better than the plane for future reference.

JoeNobody Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Tourism in Amsterdam is all about the museums, the drugs and the Red Light District. If none of those take your fancy, then you might as well stay away. I've been living in Amsterdam for 3 months now (coming home at the end of the week, woo hoo), and was finally able to get the GF over last weekend. Mostly we wandered around the shops, but also did the Heineken Experience (not bad for EUR10), a dinner cruise on the canals (crap food, not worth GBP60 each ) and a brief trip through the RLD. I suppose if you're in to football you might be able to catch an Ajax match, although I don't know where you'd get the tickets from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Dan Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Found it dirty, run down and overpriced TBH ... Quite dissapointing. I suppose I was expecting a cheap place packed with pubs and intermixed with some other stuff, a bit like Magaluf with "spice". Seemed to be more of a "city break" destination, rather than a holiday one. Ah well, we had a laugh in any case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
