Just wondering if anyone knows which hostel, or budget hotel, is nearest to the Schipol Airport in Amsterdam? We're a family of 5 and have been into the city several times - this time we have a shorter layover and need a place for the night.

Is there a bus that goes from schiphol airport to Haarlem? Is there a tram that goes that goes from Amsterdam sloterdag or lelylam station to vondel park? Also is the Blijburg beach area still open? Thanks.

Hi guys

Any ideas?

Hi everyone!
I love to know if the post office in Amsterdam got any mail box service?
I will be in Amsterdam soon. And I will be waiting for a parcel from other country. The place that I live will not accept any postal item. I wonder if the parcel could send to any local post office and I just go to pick it up?

Thank you very much!

My friend and I are going to Amsterdam in September of this year. He's been there numerous times, where I have not. He's left it up to me to find us things to do (Silly boy!), but I'm not too sure what I should really see, and what I should nix on the agenda. I'm open to any and all suggestions!

Also, what is the weather like in September? What type of clothes should I bring?

I'm very much looking forward to this trip, and I appreciate al your help!

Since my time in Amsterdam is limited, I am wondering if I can purchase tickets for specific times, or do I have to wait in a long line?

Thanks

We will be in Amsterdam and would like to rent a car from a location near the Marriott which is located approximately 2km from the central train station. We would like to start our rental on Sunday, then drive to Geilenkirchen, Germany and leave the car there (or Aachen). Is it possible to rent a car on Sunday in Amsterdam and leave the it in Germany? THANK YOU :)

Hi, Will be over on June 13th to 15th for a stag party. Holland are playing in the euros that night against France of Italy - one or the other. Is it being shown on any big screens around the city? like Leidsesquare?

Cheers

We'll be in Amsterdam and Leiden at the end of June. I want to treat the kids to poffertjes at one of those outdoor poffertjes-tents that come and go in Holland. Does anyone know where I'm most likely to find one in Amsterdam or Leiden?

Thanks in advance!

I will be travelling by train from Bruges to Amsterdam on my way back to Schipol Airport. I need to overnight in Amsterdam on 4th September and would like to find a reasonably priced accommodation close to the train station. I would be grateful for any help that anyone can offer.

Hello dear Vters,

My boss just told be yesterday that I have to pack and be sent to the Hague for 2 weeks starting 13th May next week. :-)

So this is a bit last minute. Love to hear from you guys as to what I should / can do during the weekends -

a) I have been to Amsterdam and the Hague so hoping to go to other NL cities which have a different twist.Day trip or overnite? Any suggestions ?

b) Is there any major festivals or events or exhibition during the two weeks of
13-26 May that I should not miss ?

c) I was also hoping to visit one of the Scandinavian countries during one weekend ( eg Copenhagen )

- is it easier to travel by air or by bus / train ?
- how long is the journey ?
- is it easier to visit Sweden or Norway compared to Copenhagen ?

d) I saw in one of the forum thread that Schipol airport is somewhat like Terminal 5 condition . Is that true and when does the holiday in NL starts and ends ?

e) If there is any nearby and easy to access European cities of countries worth considering other than Copenhagen please shout :-) . France is out of the question because it is part of my annual Pilgrimage.

Many many thanks

Kenny

Hey everybody, how's it going. I am going to be in A'dam (for the 4th time in 2 yrs) 16-26 June 08 and was wondering if there were any peeps on here 18+ that were going to be in the dam then? There's gonna be a few of us but you can never have too many ppl to party w/! So if you are looking to have a good time, smoke, drink and party like it's 1999 hit me up. We are 21-30 and trained partying professionals lol

I'm planning on taking the InterCity train from Amsterdam to Brussels. Because reserved seats are not an option on these trains, is a ticket purchased for a specific day good for any train that day?

I've read on this board that the ticket lines at Centraal Station are always long, so would I be better off buying my ticket online? Or is there a better option in Amsterdam?

Thanks!

Hello! My partner and I are coming to Amsterdam for our commitment ceremony on our 10 year anniversary. Does anyone know where we could rent or find a boat on the canal to watch the Pride parade?

Hi! Could anyone tell me where a grocery store would be located near the ranonkelkade area north of the city- it is directly behind central station across the Het IJ- many thanks for any replies.

Does anyone have photographs, specifications etc. for the turnstiles on the back doors of Amsterdam's buses? San Francisco needs to see a model for use of such things. Thx.

I will be traveling to Amsterdam in August. I will be flying to into Amsterdam to board a cruise ship (Celebriy Cruise Line) and need to know the distance from the airport to the Cruise terminal

On May 10 we plan to drive from Amsterdam to Brugge and to return to Schiphol Airport on May 13 for a flight the next day. On the trip to Brugge what would be the fastest, most direct routing? On the return to Schiphol Airport what would be the most scenic route? We'll have all day to spend on the return trip.

for Saturday night thru Tuesday morning. Price range around 320 USD. Don't need any internet, TV, mini-bar, or bar. I want a real 60" queen, not 2 twins pushed together, No Smoke, and quiet as possible. I expect to be overpriced and cramped, but not be above a noisy bar. Yes, I know Amsterdam is a party town! I've spent over 3 hrs reading reviews on hotels.nl (not impressed), and Travelocity (higher quality). Narrowed down to: Golden Tulip, on quiet no-vehicle street; Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky; NH Museum Quarter; NH Amsterdam Center, real queen beds; Sofitel; and Holiday Inn Airport! Your advice means alot to me. THANKS.

Hi all,

I'm planning to visit Amsterdam this weekend (02-04 May), but haven't been able to find a hotel room (our budget is around 140 - 180 EUR per night) through all the usual websites. I've personally called 14 hotels and they are *ALL* booked (or out of my price range).

Can someone recommend a decent hostel, perhaps? Preferably, one which is:
-clean
-safe
-centrally located
-fun (though this is probably a given, if the first three requirements are met)

Is there any hope of just showing up on Friday without a booking and hoping that someone might have cancelled their reservation in the meantime?

Many thanks,
Srik

Please, they could tell me where is it? thanks in advance
