Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Amsterdam is "in a nutshell, one of the most consistently surprising, thrilling intriguing, bloody-minded, compelling cities on earth". It is a city for art lovers, shoppers and pleasure seekers of every type. Time Out Amsterdam is an essential guide to the high art and low culture of this city of contradictions.

Reliably highlighting the best of Amsterdam, The Time Out Guide also features the quirky, kitsch and outrageous of the city. You get the skinny on everything from tulips and windmills to coffee-houses and "wild pissing". It is obviously written by those in the know--there are excellent guides to neighbourhoods (don't miss the Jordaan) and the shopping section recommendations were clearly verified by a number of Dutch trendies.

The maps are easy to use and well positioned at the back of the book. As you would expect from the Time Out series, all budgets are catered for from students to those with the urge to splurge and the result is high value for money. Among the gems to be found in the guide is a one-stop clubbing shop "Housewives on Fire" and an elegant Art Deco sauna. The extensive hotel listings are particularly useful as rooms go very quickly in Amsterdam, especially on weekends. --Chris Cosgrove --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Product Description

Between its world-class art museums, its eminently wanderable canals and its coffeeshops that don't exactly specialise in coffee, its variety is glorious indeed. However, with one of Europe's more forward-thinking cultural scenes and striking new architectural developments in Ijburg and the Bijimermeer, there's much more here to enjoy than the cliches; written, researched and edited entirely by locals, Time Out Amsterdam will tell you all about it. Selected as best Amsterdam guidebook by The Sunday Times

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without it :), 27 Feb 2001
By A Customer
An impressively useful book covering almost all aspects of Amsterdam, from a useful list of entertertainment venues, restaurants, bars, museums through to the more "interesting" aspects of the city.

Two of the most useful bits of information were that this is a cash-orientated society, and also how to use the trams (they're more complex than you think!)

One of the best ways of exploring the city is to just wander off with this in your pocket and discover it for yourself - the maps cover the city centre, and the guide book takes you through everything you are likely to see. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thorough and thoroughly enjoyable guide to Amsterdam, 13 Mar 2002
By A Customer
I got the book for a March 2002 trip to Amsterdam and it is right up to date with prices in Euros!

The book is divided into the usual sections of Where to go, where to stay, where to eat etc but it also has short articles that illustrate the heart and soul of the capital of the Netherlands.

There are articles on the drugs culture and the red light district which give you much more of a feel for the real Amsterdam beyond the stereotypes. There is advice on tourist traps, ethnic Indonesian eateries where the locals go, must see museums, the places to go for value and the places to avoid.

Each area in Amsterdam is well described and the book was easy to navigate around.

It pointed us toward excellent restaurants and saved us money and time.

It also helped us get around with advice on the trams!

The book made the trip a breeze and allowed us to squeeze the most from a short time.

Time Out Amsterdam is pretty much spot on in all it says.

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great all round guide, 16 Jan 2003
By A. M. Colwill (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book provides everything you need to know about the 'Dam whether you're into smoking weed, going to the flower market, visiting the Rijksmuseum or all of the above. Whereas most other guides either try to be cool and focus on the more debauched side of the city or are a bit dull and only discuss the art galleries and museums, this guide does both. I visited some of the cafes, bars and cofeeshops recommended by the guide as well as the brilliant Van Gogh museum and all of them were excellent. An essential purchase for any trip to Amsterdam.
