Spent 3 nights and 4 days there this August with the misses and son.
We’ve been 2 years running now as the misses’ brother live there.
Latest trip we stayed in The Convent Hotel.
It was really nice. Bed was extremely comfy and breakfast was great. Bacon was a little odd… Sweet cure. Not to my tastes. 😀
It’s about 5 mins walk from Dam Square and 10mins from Central station.
We’ll definitely look at staying there again.
If you like Museums then I would recommend the Maritime Museum. Quite interesting and could easily pass the whole day there.
The museums can get pricey though as they aren’t free as they are here.
You can easily spend the day just walking round.
Personally I love people watching and Amsterdam is excellent for that!
Find a bar grab a beer and watch the world go by.
If you like good Ale and food (Who doesn’t!…) Go to Brouwerij de Prael.
Ask for a taster and sit and enjoy 4 ales of various strength and some nuts! 🙂 It’s about 10 euros. The food is also excellent!
I cannot rave about that brewery enough! It’s fantastic!
