HELLO!!!!!! Think of the ART!!!
And the Anne Frank museum.
You will be depressed, but it will be interesting.
I'm saying all of this without ever having been.
I was travel agent for my aunt and uncle's 40th anniversary trip to Europe and planned a stay in four or five cities, including Amsterdam, which they ADORED. She's high culture, he's low, they love/hate each other, and they had a great time. So I figure there's nothing NOT to like there. Except the redlight district, which everyone says is gross.
