Recently an old friend of mine moved to Amsterdam. I’m not sure he moved there for the…kosher…purposes but I do know he loves the environment (when he’s not stoned at least). So it got me to thinking about the places around the world that I’d like to visit and oddly enough, after doing some research through easytobook.com, I learned quite a bit about Amsterdam that I didn’t know before.
I was already aware of the red light district, but show absolutely no interest in it…even though it seems to be one of their key attractions for coming there. I also knew of the Anne Frank house but there’s an erie feeling in my stomach when I think about going through it. What I wasn’t aware of, and was basically ignorant for it, was all of the museums. By my count there are EIGHT of them for you to visit during your stay. There are also quite a few theaters as well.
I’ve also priced a few things in relation to a stay there. A four night stay will only run me about $1,000. Of course this is just for the hotel stay, there really wasn’t much listed about air-fare, I guess that can be factored in later though. It may actually be a prominent possibility for a future trip, who knows.
The nice thing about easytobook.com is they also show you the pricing in two other countries, Barcelona and Rome. In the future they’ll offer prices for hotels in London and Prague, not just Amsterdam Hotels. It may be worth keeping it bookmarked for future reference.
