hotels are pretty expensive now since the introduction of the euro

if you have a credit card: for hotels check www.bookings.nl it's the easiest way to book from abroad with hotels from 0 star to 5 star. you normally pay first night on card the rest at hotel. budget hotels always get booked-out fast.
a cool place that i've never been able to stay at(it's popular and small) is the 'hemp hotel amsterdam' prices are about the same as a bad budget hotel if you got 2 sharing. you get to stay in a hemp room sleeping under hemp sheets you get a vegi/hemp b'fast. they only accept c.c payment. tel. 0031 (0)20 625 4425
if you wanna chance it and just turn up and look for a hotel try 'vvv'(tourist info) on platform 2 of centraal station, there's also a 'vvv' outside the station to the left but platform 2 is normally quicker. on the 'damrak'(1 min walk from station) there's also 'amsterdam hotel service' hotel prices around 50 euro per person per night are normal but the best prices are bookings.nl.

as for coffeeshops, we have a vast choice.
but you wan't go far wrong if you try these:-

dutch flowers , singel 387
some of the best weed/hash in the dam

goa, kloveniersburgwal 42
try the jack herrer or temple ball

amnesia, herengracht 133
smoke and see the ladys of the night at the same time

tweedy, vondelstraat 104
go here if you don't mind paying a high price for top quality. try (super) creme melana, 20,15 euro gram respective

there are a lot of coffeeshops on the 'oudezijds voorburgwal' but the greenhouse at number 191 is pretty cool with a good selection of dope

need anymore info, let me know :thumbsup:

Rotterdam is very nice. I was born there.

If you have like a week in Holland, you can see the pretty much the entire country in that time. I used to bike to Rotterdam to Amsterdam, there and back, in less than a day. Holland can fit into the provice of Alberta, 51 times! Very small country.

I suggest staying at a hostol. Unless you plan to do more than just sleep, but if you're just going to be sleeping, find a hostol to stay at. They can be as cheap as $20 a night.

That's bullshit dude! This time of year is very expensive. Try around October through Feburary--the ticket prices come waaayyy down. Avoid Christmas though, since it's expensive at Christmas and New Years.

like how cheap does it get at its cheapest roundtrip?
