Book Description

Introduction

Amsterdam is a compact, instantly likeable capital. It's appealing to look at and pleasant to walk around, an intriguing mix of the parochial and the international; it also has a welcoming attitude towards visitors and a uniquely youthful orientation, shaped by the liberal counterculture of the last three decades. It's hard not to feel drawn in by the buzz of open-air summer events, by the intimacy of the clubs and bars, or by the Dutch facility with languages: just about everyone you meet in Amsterdam will be able to speak near- perfect English, on top of their own native Dutch and fluent German and French.

The city's layout is determined by a web of canals radiating out from a historical core to loop right around the centre: these planned, seventeenth-century extensions to the medieval town make for a uniquely elegant urban environment, with tall, gabled houses reflected in their still, green water. With its tree-lined canals, cobbled streets, tinkling bicycle bells and stately architecture, Amsterdam is a world away from the traffic and noise of other European city centres - modern and quiet, while still retaining a perfectly preserved 400-year-old centre.

The conventional sights are for the most part low-key - the Anne Frank House being a notable exception - but, thanks to an active and continuing government policy of supporting the arts, Amsterdam has developed a world-class group of museums and galleries. The Van Gogh Museum is, for many people, reason enough to visit the city; add to it the Rijksmuseum, with its collections of medieval and seventeenth-century Dutch paintings, the contemporary and experimental Stedelijk Museum, and hundreds of smaller galleries, and the quality and range of art on display is evident.

However, it's Amsterdam's population and politics that constitute its most enduring characteristics. Celebrated during the 1960s and 1970s for its radical permissiveness, the city mellowed only marginally during the 1980s, and, despite the inevitable gentrification of the last decade, it retains a laid-back feel. It is, however, far from being as cosmopolitan a city as London or Paris: despite the huge numbers of immigrants from former colonies in Surinam and Indonesia, as well as Morocco and Turkey (among other places), almost all live and work outside the centre and can seem almost invisible to the casual visitor. Indeed there is an ethnic and social homogeneity in the city-centre population that seems to run counter to everything you might have heard of Dutch integration.

This apparent contradiction embodies much of the spirit of Amsterdam. The city is world famous as a place where the possession and sale of cannabis are effectively legal - and yet, for the most part, Amsterdammers themselves can't really be bothered with the stuff. And while Amsterdam is renowned for its tolerance towards all styles of behaviour and dress, a more prim, correct-thinking capital city, with a more mainstream dress sense, would be hard to find. Behind the cosy cafés and dreamy canals lurks the suspicion that Amsterdammers' hearts lie squarely in their wallets. And while newcomers might see the city as a haven of liberalism and tolerance, Amsterdammers can seem just as indifferent to this as well.

In recent years, increasingly hard-line city mayors have taken this conservatism on board and seem to have embarked on a generally successful - if unspoken - policy of quashing Amsterdam's image as a counterculture icon and depicting it instead as a centre for business and international high finance. Most of the inner-city squats - which once defined Amsterdam's people-power for locals and visitors alike - are now either empty or legalized. Coffeeshops are now forced to choose between selling dope or alcohol, and, if only for economic reasons, many are switching to the latter. Such shifts in attitude, combined with alterations to the city's landscape, in the form of large-scale urban development projects on the outskirts and an almost continuous modernization of buildings and infrastructure in the historic centre, together generate an unmistakeable feeling that Amsterdam and its people are busy reinventing themselves, writing off their hippyish adventures and returning to earlier, more respectable days.

Perhaps mercifully, this hasn't happened yet, and Amsterdam remains a casual and intimate place, modern and innovative yet comfortably familiar. Amsterdammers themselves make much of their city and its attractions being gezellig, a rather overused Dutch word roughly corresponding to a combination of "cosy", "lived-in" and "warmly convivial". The city's unparalleled selection of gezellig drinking places is a delight, whether you choose a traditional, bare-floored brown café or one of the many designer bars or "grand cafés". Amsterdam's unique approach to combating hard-drug abuse - embodied in the effective decriminalization of cannabis - has led to a large number of coffeeshops, which sell coffee only as a sideline to high-quality marijuana and hashish. The city's wide range of entertainment possibilities means you need never wonder what to do: multimedia complexes like the Melkweg are at the forefront of contemporary European film, dance, drama and music, while dozens of other venues present live music from all genres (the Dutch have a particular soft spot for jazz), and, resident in the world- famous Concertgebouw concert hall, Amsterdam has one of the world's leading classical orchestras. The club scene, on the other hand, is subdued by the standards of other capital cities, dominated by more or less mainstream house music, and with the emphasis far more on dancing than on posing. Gay men, however, will discover that Amsterdam has Europe's most active nightlife network, although women might be disappointed at the exclusivity of the proclaimed "Gay Capital of Europe".

Accurate But Missing That Extra Spark.......2001-01-18

First off, the maps are not very helpful. They aren't detailed enough, as far as the little side streets are concerned. Also, the maps are buried in different sections, so if you want to get from Neighborhood A to Neighborhood B you gotta keep on flippin'. The City Center map that's located in the index is adequate for navigating to major points of interests, but only that.

Secondly, while descriptions of restuarants, coffeeshops, htels and stores are accurate, a lot of REALLLLLLLLY cool places that I found on my own there are just not listed.

Book Description

The essential companion to this colourful city. The Rough Guide Map Amsterdam pin-points the best the city has to offer, from the Anne Frankhuis to elegant waterways and bustling Dam square. The best shopping streets, pedestrian zones and major buildings are all edged in different colours to make them easier to find. The useful ''Time Map'' charts the opening days and times of all the city''s sights and the map''s detailed transport information will help you make the most of the city’s train, trams, buses, cycle and canal routes. Unbeatable combination of practicality and clarity printed on waterproof, rip-proof paper.

Whether you're looking for the restroom in The Rijksmuseum, free beer at the Heineken Brewery, information at The Prostitution Information Centre, yellow corduroy flares at the Waterlooplein market, a canal bike to cruise the waterways, a primer on Dutch cheese, or where to dial for BBC World Service broadcasts--look no further. Amsterdam: The Rough Guide can help you fulfill these and thousands of other needs.

There are many reasons to visit Amsterdam, not the least of which could be its breath-of-fresh-air qualities compared to the rush of other cities. As the authors explain, "With its tree-lined canals, cobbled streets, tinkling bicycle bells and stately architecture, Amsterdam is a world away from the traffic and noise of other European city centres--clean, modern and quiet, while still retaining a perfectly preserved 400-year-old centre."

The Rough Guide's maps include sights, bars, hotels, restaurants, clubs, and public transport routes. They're easy to read and well-marked and are accompanied by choice-provoking tidbits about places to stay and nearby eateries and drinkeries: "Well-worn but clean rooms awaiting imminent renovation, friendly and helpful staff," "Small, homely and serving delicious pancakes," "Tiny place that looks and feels like an African mud hut, except for the hip-hop beats. Grass specialists."

Used this guidebook constantly on my trip.......2000-04-28

I just got back from two weeks in the Netherlands on my own, one week of which I spent in Amsterdam. I carried this book with me as I went and consulted it a lot. It helped me decide which coffeeshops to visit, pointing me away from high-neon blaring tourist traps to fun little places like Rusland and the Grey Area. It helped me find restaurants. I liked the neighborhood-by-neighborhood maps. And I loved the glossary of Dutch food terms! The history of Amsterdam in this book felt vibrant and alive, unlike the bowdlerized version given in the Lonely Planet guide. (Compare the descriptions of the Lieverdje and the Provos to see what the LP guide leaves out.) Good guidebook. Thumbs up!

All of Amsterdam....in one book.......2000-03-18

If you are looking for a book that will tell you everything you ever needed to know about Amsterdam...look no farther. I have been to Amsterdam three times before, but I never knew there was so much to see, or the history about the places there. This book combines everything. It has great maps, good directions, and colorful historical information. No one would be lost or at a loss of things to do with this book. A must for any traveler going to Amsterdam.

Packed with essential details.......1999-11-17

Easily the best travel guide to Amsterdam and one of the best travel guides I've used. Rough Guides always pack a lot of information and this edition is no different. From how to use the trams to an informative historical backround section, this guide can not be beat.

This book is written for people coming from England.......1999-07-25

It is not a very helpful book, in my opinion. Amsterdam is the only major city in the world where you can go and smoke a joint legally and they spend exactly two paragraphs mentioning that. How about a list of good coffee shops, etc.?

The book is written by Europeans for EU people and spends a lot of time talking about how you can do things with your EU documents. It has lots of fluffy background information but less hard up-to-the minute helpful lists. This edition was written in 1997.

An excellent guide.......1997-09-19

The best guide to the city I've ever used. Packed with masses of practical/cultural information and money-saving hints, this is among the best of a superb guide series, not yet well-known in the US

Excellent Map.......2005-10-14

In my never-ending quest of being fully prepared, I bought every [travelers] map of Amsterdam I could possibly find. Of those, this one is the clearest and includes what I felt to be the most important 'points of interest'. It arrives in a thick paper pouch of sorts which includes pictures and descriptions of twenty of the points of interest - very handy. And the paper the map is printed on is top-notch (waterproof, as advertised). It opens to be a bit on the large side, which might be tough if you plan to use it in small spaces or particularly windy conditions. But the space is utilized efficiently and the size is part of what makes it so easy to read.

Bottom line: if you're only going to buy one map of Amsterdam, this is the one to get.

Simply the Best!.......2003-11-16

If you are looking for a superb map of Amsterdam with detailed streets that will keep you from falling in a canal DO NOT look any further. Will last many trips due to its waterproof design. Too bad I lost mine after a trip to a coffeeshop!
