Useful Tips
Here’s some Amsterdam travel tips to help make the most of your travel to Amsterdam:
- Try eating pannekoeken, the dutch pankakes, with bacon and sugar syrup.
- In Amsterdam you can try many different cuisines from all the former colonies and trade partners. Make sure you don't leave the city without tasting Indonesian cuisine or the caraibic fantasy of the cuisine of Suriname!
- One of the best places to try good and inexpensive dutch food are the Eetcafe, or cafe where you can eat: they always have one or two meat dishes, one or more vegetarian, often fish, and sometimes even exotic food. Always enough to fill you up properly.
- Dutch are really proud of their national spirit, called jenever and distilled from juniper berries. Try a Kopstookje (literally, headbang), a glass of jenever drunk along a glass of beer.
- Watch out for the red bike paths if you're walking, because bikes will not stop or reduce speed, they'll just start ringing their bells expecting you to jump off the way!
