So this spring i am going on a trip to Amsterdam, are there any locals here?
Got any tips on cheap hotels/motels or could you possibly house 5 ppl for 5 days.
Or any general tips on what you could do in amsterdam?

Idk how it is in Europe, but I'd recommend looking at hostels as well. Others staying there are usually 'free-er' spirits and a lot more friendly and sociable. Whenever I stayed in one, making new friends was the easiest thing ever and you get to meet and hear stories from people from all over the world. Plus, more often than not they love to party their faces off  Edit: If I was going to Amsterdam, I'd for sure visit the Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House. A couple friends that have gone loved the theater shows and all the art galleries (tons, they said...). They're art buffs though so not sure if that's your cup. ...and obligatory Cannabis cafes and Red Light District |

It's more than that off course but that's okay.. It brings alot of rappers to Holland. Anyway, I live about an hour and a half away from Amsterdam so I wouldn't know any good hotels or hostels. The only thing I go to Amsterdam for is shopping and visiting the Apple Store. And shopping is very nice there. One last tip: beware of pickpockets. |

I totally agree with dUTCHIE.
I live about an hour from Amsterdam. I think you should get an hotel or hostel as close as possible to the center of Amsterdam. Because the metro and buses don't drive whole night and taxi prices are high. I don't know your interest, but when you are going to party you should go to 'rembrandtplein' there are a lot of bars. The Old Sailor is also a fun bar at the red light......

Unfortunately, for those of us not living in the area, this is how Amsterdam is portrayed in nearly all mainstream media. For anyone to find any other information aside from its two supposedly two biggest attractions, weed and brothels, you need to do actual research. It's really sad imo, and a sore reminder of how shallow, and unrefined, many people are becoming.  |
