And i was wondering how much you guys would spend on an average trip over there including travel accomadation. My costs for this august will be:
Return airport taxi £100
Return flights for 2 £160 with easy jet.
Return train transfer to central station for 2 €15 approx
4 day tram pass for 2 €40
4 nights double room at hotel €240
€1200 spending money for the 4 days for food, weed, RLD etc.
So a full total of approx £1700 give or take a bit for exchange rates. When i told my mate this he nearly chocked on his spliff and passed out.lol. He reckons i spend silly amounts and go way over the top, i tried telling him how deer it was there and personally when i go away i dont like to worry about running out of money and i just wanna have a good time.
What do you guys spend on average trip? Do you think my amounts are silly or realistic in a city as expensive as amsterdam?
Return airport taxi 7euro I take the buss!
Return flights for 1 130euro with SAS.
Return train transfer to central station for 1 €10
3 day tram pass for 1 €20
2 nights at hotel 100euro
€1000 spending money for the 3 days for food and weed is more then good!
Total= 1267euro is very good I think I can do it whit only 767euro and still have a good time!
Peace
Jimmy

really? ive never seen a flight to holland for less than 100-ish with BA (london airports). Do us a favour and when these cheap BA flights are available put a post up on here for us.

Far too much! Amsterdam is like a huge pit, in which, I throw euros at an Alarming rate
....in 9 and a bit hours, I spent over 200euros!....I am not even gonna think about how much I spend in a 5+ day trip....
A two week trip would require crazy funds.

This one coming up will be:
£110 for return flights
£155 for 6 nights in MeetingPoint
It's my mate's turn to pay the taxi to the airport/train to Schiphol, so don't have that to worry about this time. Spending just depends what you've got - if I take plenty, I'll spend plenty. You can get by on not much at all if you need to though. Place is too easy to spend in!
