Second chance

Shandalar · Post by **Shandalar** » Sun 11th Oct 2009 03:53 pm

I`m thinking of giving Amsterdam a second chance since i got a pretty nice tax return and some holiday from work...

I`m currently contemplating on when should i make it? I`m thinking of early/mid december, or waiting until spring (will be tough to wait so long)

How`s the weather in Amsterdam around december time? I was in Prague once in late december, and that was like really dry and temps around -2 to +2 celcius. I can easily handle cold weather and snow, but i don`t want any of that slush lying around on the streets

Will propably be around for 3-4 nights this time, and looking at apartments or hotels around the 70-80€ per night mark.

That Queen`s day (had to look it up on wikipedia) and New Year`s sounds like way too much people around

Yea thats 1 of the drawbacks! the place was packed to the rafters back then,I spent most of the day down leidseplein as they were tons of free concerts & stuff

Before going ahead and booking something at the price you have quoted, have a look on Priceline and consider your own Bid.
I got a 4 star superior alot cheaper than what your prepared to pay

I never heard of the site untill fellow smokers informed me of it, best thing ever

Ive been in Dec and yeah it can be freezing

i went between xmas and n/year and i will hopefully be repeating that this year

a great time to go IMO not very busy but still a festive atmosphere , and some coffeeshops were open 24hrs . the only downside is i missed my flight home on the 30th Dec due to a massive snowstorm

Okay, i just read on some website that December is the rainiest month in Amsterdam, with average temperatures around +0 to +5 celcius

Anyway i won`t have the money to book anything until the very beginning of december when my tax returns actually arrive on my bank account, so plenty of time to contemplate...

Soo nice and fluffy feeling, to know that i`ll soon be there again.
