Title: What to do in Amsterdam?
Post by: Human Onion on February 19, 2012, 06:08:15 AM

...besides getting baked. I don't smoke weed.

I'm going in march for four or five days. It's a work trip, but i'll have some time off.

Bars, clubs, cafees, sights not found in every guide book. I'm also bringing my board, so spot tips too would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx!

go to skateparkofamsterdam, they;ll know where the spots are, some great curbs in Osdorp, the marnix bowl should be a good one to hoopup with some locals...
de Rokerij is a cool coffeeshop (http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=7&ved=0CFAQFjAG&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.booza.nl%2Fcoffeeshop-de-rokerij%2F&ei=HAVBT43TCKHN0QXI-IiPDw&usg=AFQjCNG6ag0QoYZhqB7xFf0v3-V9ecAtog&sig2=fKamEu0KdkRnrCIBMWJ3pw (http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=7&ved=0CFAQFjAG&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.booza.nl%2Fcoffeeshop-de-rokerij%2F&ei=HAVBT43TCKHN0QXI-IiPDw&usg=AFQjCNG6ag0QoYZhqB7xFf0v3-V9ecAtog&sig2=fKamEu0KdkRnrCIBMWJ3pw))

, dont forget the tourist coffeeshop  the bulldog http://www.thebulldog.com/, (http://www.thebulldog.com/,) but dont buy your weed there, mad $$$$

Thanx! Stopped smoking about ten years ago, so don't care about the coffeeshops. Melkweg looks like a cool place.

flying pig hostel is great, theyve got a bar inside on the main level that hits happy hour.  honestly, you cant go wrong with killing some cold ones, wandering the red light district, and stopping into some sex shows.  shits hilarious.  just watch your wallet, and make sure to pick up some weird swank mags - personal recommendations are "bizarre sex" and "pregnant fuck".
