Simply the best guide - By: craig_bryant@ntlworld.com, 02 Mar 2002 
This is quite simply the best guide on Amsterdam I have read. Each area of the City is broken down & detailed descriptions of where to eat, drink, 'smoke', party, club, stay & sightsee are detailed within each section. Listings of the best coffeeshops, bars, Grand Cafe's & restaurents are at the back. The 'Day & Night' Map is wonderfully detailed showing everything from location of bars & restaurents detailedin the main text to tram line numbers & canal boat routes. Everything you could possibly need during your stay is clearly detailed. Those who want to see the cultural side of this dazzling city would also find the guide invaluable. All the sites are listed including prices, galleries, museums, churches...you name it ! Even where the trendy shops are is listed & several 'specialist' shops are listed too. If I ever need hair extensions whilstin 'Dam I know where to go, & how much it would cost ! Sections on how to get there by train, air or water are well written & it even tells you how to use the rail ticket dispensing machines & which type of ticket is best to buy. Quite simply an invaluable, wonderfully written guide. The only gripe I would have is that the accomodation section needs to be bigger with more mid priced tourist class hotels listed.
best guide book everrrrrr! - By: , 19 Aug 2001 loved this guide book! the maps were clear & easy to follow. the info was hip & up to the minute - & includes the "what you REALLY want to know about amsterdam" stuff that other guide books only hint at (... best coffee shops, red light district guide, designer clothes shops, 2nd hand clothes shops etc ) restaurant reviews & recommendations were spot on & i had the best weekend ever courtesy of this book. buy it!
