Hi boys, I am planning trip to Amsterdam in early september for like a week or so. I am going with my uni friend and (probably) one more guy. I don't have a really loose budget, so I've come here for advice.
1. Hotel
Can you advice some cheap hotel for two (straight) guys? Conditions don't really matter since we are not going to spend a lot of time inside, my only wish for it not to be a hostel, but a private room with only 2 beds. I did some searching online and prices start at ~60 euro per night (for a room, so gonna divide it by two obviously), so if you are aware of something better, I'll be glad to consider it. Maybe you can advice some local sites to book a room and whatnot
2. Budget
The thing is, as I said, I am not going to have a lot of money for the trip, so any general advice on how to get less for more is really appreciated
3. Activities
I really dislike all that sightseeing, excursions and other general tourist stuff, but if there is something we absolutely must see, feel free to make your suggestions.
4. Weed experience
You waited it, you got it. Don't really care to seem typical tourist, but one of the reasons we come to Amsterdam is to get high like crazy. I might say I am an intermediate to upper intermediate smoker, my bro has slightly less experience, but he has been to Amsterdam before. By saying "intermediate" I mean I smoke regularly, at least couple times a week, buy weed for personal usage, roll blunts, etc
What should I try in Amsterdam? Are coffeeshop joints really that shitty? What about edibles?
I guess that's all, if there's something that I missed, agaim, waiting for your reply, anon
>>
If you don't have money, you don't go Amsterdam, simple as that.

60 is dirt cheap in Amsterdam, don't try to go lower. On the bright side, food is relatively cheap.
Believe it or not, booking.com is Dutch.
>>
I live in holland and I can guarantee you that Amsterdam is pure cancer. Everyone and everything is fake and all show, a city of satan himself i would say

Would not recommend anything of that aids ridden city

Want to visit holland? Go to delft or den haag

What's wrong with hostels?
In terms of budget, if you are willing to slum it up, you won't need much
You can buy food from the supermarket and even Feebo which I never had but people saying it's not the worst
In terms of weed in that budget, depands on how much you smoke but don't buy the expensive stuff, you can reaserch the manus of coffeeshops and find what you'd like for cheaper in a lot of place so you can get a gram for around 13 euros so if every buys one and since you don't smoke that much, that can last you for the day or even two
Which brings me to coffeeshops
I don't like them
Most of the time they're crowded and really isn't fun when you're just hanging around and you get waiteress always pestering to buy something to eat or drink
So I just buy the weed and go outside to walk around or sit at a park
>>
>>1276342
lol, provinciaal.
>>
>>1276589
so where do I buy weed from? (besides coffeeeshops obvoiusly) Are there any green pharmacies or something?
>>
try magic truffles
>>
>>1276140

> accomodation
Hotels and hostels will always be expensive in this time of the year. Try camping if you really want to travel on a budget and save A LOT of money. Look for the Zeeburg Camping.

> Budget
There are "cheap" (for dutch standards) fast food everywhere, and in the chinatown area restaurants and bars are more cheap. Also the Albert Hejin supermarket are your friends (i really miss those sandwich with sunrises, ham and butter..)

> activities
Dont fuck hookers, its not worth it. Peepshows are fun though. Museums are cool but SO expensive. Anna frank house is a terrible tourist trap.

> Weed
Pre-rolled joints are terrible, stay away from them if you know to roll and want to smoke some decent weed. Try truffles, if you are curios about it, they were by far the most interesting and amazing part of my trip(s). Just take them only if you feel 100% sure about it, do not feel anxious and turn your phone off.
Also stay away from the Bulldog coffeshop, and visit the Grey Wolf (?i. Remember there's wolf in the name) my favourite coffeeshop and one of the best in town

What's wrong with Ann Frank House? Boring?

You will literary wait in line for 1hr minimum just to see a little jew hideout.

Better go to westerpark, plenty of nice bars and places to enjoy the city. Check out the Roest as well, it's not far from the Nemo center, basically an industrial park/site kind of place with a bar and restaurant next to the canal.

If you wanna party go to De School and Shelter (haven't been to that one personally but heard it's good), music is really good most of the time and the crowd is local, so make sure you know who's playing and don't dress like a tool. Most of the time you can easily get drugs while inside.

Fucking miss that city.
>>
>>1276626
You do buy it from coffeeshops, you just don't stay and have a little sit down
Buy the weed, leave the coffeeshop and smoke it

The prerolled joints are shit because it's usually just one strain of weed they have in the coffeeshop and it's usually a low shelf kinda stuff
I don't get why edibles are a thing, it's half an hour to kick in and only lasts for a short time so it's just easier to smoke
>>
>>1276946
We don't let filthy tourists into places like de school

Also anne frank huis is worth checking out, but make sure your first in line by getting there well before opening times, but since your a stoner thats probably not going to happen
>>
>>1276944
>working all year long
>spend your well earned dollars to see the house of a literal jew

lmao why are americans so retarded?

It costs 9 EUROS and there is NO STUDENT DISCOUNT

Never visit Jewish museums in Europe

They always overcharge and are completely uninteresting
>>
>>1277025
Fuck off twat, the diary of Anne frank is the most read dutch book in the world. Keep your racism in the pol board.

The house of anne frank is boring and small, but her being a jew has nothing to do with it.
>>
>>1277027
Too bad she wrote it in German lmao

And how can you be racist against a religion?

While this elite class of people enjoyed life people like my great grandparents were slaving away in poverty doing everything they could to survive.

Meanwhile (((they))) got to live the high life without worries.

And the entry price of 9 (nine) Euros has everything to do with the Jews. They always overcharge. Prague, Berlin, wherever. It's always much more expensive than for other museums.
>>
>>1277047
She wrote it in dutch, she moved here when she was 4. Her family spoke yiddish at home, and they taught her dutch.

You seem a little bitter, maybe travel to some places and see that the world is not as dark as you think it is.

Also if they love money so much, why then is auschwitz free?

Amsterdam is alright for a day or two, but you really should try to find some nice locations for a couple of daytrips:

/trv/ is a /pol/ colony, just like how /his/ is a goon colony. Sorry.
>>
>>1276946
can vouch for shelter, de school has gotten a bit more 'exclusive' recently but like this anon said, just don't be a tool and you should be fine. also recommend radion but very different vibe. still fun though.
>>
>>1276140
DAMN. He gave Weed a 7 but Amsterdam a 10?
>>
>hotel
ok me and two other friends went in april. It was slam packed. Literally no hotels in the entire city so we slept in the airport (not legal I dont think bc we didnt have a flight but fuck em) Book ahead

>Budget
I brought about 2k euros for a week long trip. Ended up needing about 3k euros but we hit up some whores

>activities
all the museums are crowded
Go to the red light district but don't get a girl unless you do it once to say you did. It's a rip and a tourist trap. The red light district itself is very fun and safe though. Also very crowded. Don't bother going to a live sex show either, unless it's just to say you did.

>Weed
DUDE WEED LMAO
but for real just walk into any coffee shop, buy your grass and they will even roll it. Go into the area and smoke up or take it to go and blaze it in the streets, nobody cares. Don't do it in front of cops though. It's still illegal or something like that they just don't care as long as you aren't taunting them

Also people will randomly offer you coke as you walk, just ignore and keep walking and they won't bother you

>>1276915
i posted just a second ago, the novel

the wolf place is ballin'
don't fuck hookers
people in the bars are nice and the locals are very nice as well

From someone who grew up and still lives in Amsterdam:

1. Find an airbnb I'd say because Amsterdam hotels are too expensive for what they offer. Avoid booking anything north of the IJ lake, west of the circular highway, southeast of the circular highway, in the Rivierenbuurt and in Bos en Lommer / northwest of the Nassaukade. Schiphol is fine though, public transport to and from the city is excellent, won't be more than 60 mins from anywhere in the city at any time from door to door except maybe at night. I take it you're gonna have late nights so in the interest of getting home it's maybe best to rent a bike or book a place close to a night bus if you're going away from the center. If you really don't want an AirBnb I'd just settle for one of those hotel chains like CitizenM, Novotel or Ibis. Local websites don't really exist for the purpose of offering rooms to tourists.

2. Dutch hygiene quality is pretty good and you can pretty much eat anywhere without worrying about getting sick. In fact, cafetarias like Febo offer quality food at very decent prices. You can save money by not visiting hookers and visiting cafés outside the central canal area. Buy food and drinks at supermarkets (Albert Heijn, not Albert Heijn to Go), it's dirt cheap there even in the city center. Don't go to cafés in the city center, outside the center a 33cl beer is 2-4eur, inside it is 6-8eur. I could give you tips for public transport as well but it's too complicated to justify the effort.
>>
(2/2)

3. Visit parks and focus on architecture (ie just walk from park to park through random neighborhoods), they are really beautiful in Amsterdam, and don't fall for tourist traps like the sex museum or the heineken experience. Don't go to Anne Frank house but definitely visit the three main museums around the museum square. Amsterdam is great for shopping as well, which is what also attracts lots of Dutch people to it (in areas like the Kalverstraat). If you're a hipster go to De Negen Straatjes. If you're into street markets go to Dappermarkt and not to Albert Cuypmarkt. If you're rich as fuck go to PC Hooftstraat.

4. As a rule of thumb, coffeeshops outside the city center are really good with helpful staff. Edibles are kind of a hit-or-miss, even my favourite coffeeshop gets them wrong sometimes.

To the guy above, I've never had someone offer me drugs anywhere. Neither pickpocketing attempts. I must look like a local, people do offer me bikes all the time...
>>
>>1276915
>Dont fuck hookers, its not worth it
Why? I was planning a holiday just for this.
>>
>>1277625

Overpriced (the minimum is 50€), the quality isnt that good, it goes from 4/10 to 7/10, with the occasional 9,5/10 that will cost you a lot. Also lots of trans, black and slav girls, nothing that you couldnt find in any german or romanian brothel, and you only have 30-40 minutes,most of the time it's just a very fast and disappointing suck-and-fuck

I've never fucked a hooker in amsterdam, but EVERY person i know that did it, regretted it after. Not because it was a bad experiemce, but you really pay way too much for what you're getting
>>
>>1277633
Thanks. Are there streethookers better experience?
>>
Streethookers are equally expensive but work illegally, so they are victims of human trafficking, associated with dodgy pimps, may try to rob you, are difficult to find... If you wanna fuck a good hooker just order an escort somewhere, they're all over the internet geez. Don't come to Amsterdam for that.
>>
>>1277665
>Don't come to Amsterdam for that.
Fine. You said Germany was good ya? Money would probably stretch further in Poland, so maybe Polish sex workers is for me.
>>
>>1277665
don't kid yourself, brothels have the same problems. girls in european brothels are all the same, literally. the pimps, which most girls have, move them from country to country in a kind of merri go round, every few months or so to prevent the girls from getting too familiar and police from being able to build a case.
>>
>>1277621
Guy from above

The Heineken tour was fun and super cheap. Like 15 euro with two free beers and a free bottle opener. I enjoyed it. Didn't go to the sex museum

Me and my friends all had long hair and tats so they would just say "cocaine?" And keep walking
>>
>>1277625
If you wanna fuck. I'm not kidding you. Go to Düsseldorf and find club sauna

45 euros to get in. Free food and drinks that aren't beer. Then 50 euros to fuck the girls. Private room and you get it all for 50 euros. In Amsterdam you
Might get a handy for 50
