That does sound very cosy and the streets will probably look fantastic when it gets darker, especially when under the influence. The hotels are cheaper at that time of year as well. Shame really that I can't make it this year and probably not till the summer. I would love to be in Amsterdam during t...

:D Thanks guys. A lot of response is always good when it comes to making a decision about possible trips. I myself have been to Amsterdam twice and both trips were last year.

HIGH SEASON IN AMSTERDAM

:D Certain resorts around the world are only completely open for business during the summer months (May/June to October). Is the coffeeshop scene an all year round kind of thing?

:D Wow, cheers mate. Obviously didn't realise so much had been said about it already. I've read all the messages and I don't really know what to make of it. Think the politicians might win in the end especially as ordinary tobacco smoking is going to be banned. Best I can make of it is that any ban ...

TOURIST BAN/COFFEESHOP CRACKDOWN

:( I read in the english Sun newspaper that authorities are cracking down on coffee shops in Amsterdam and there is to be a rule where only residents of the city/Netherlands will be able to visit these premises. There is to be a ban on tourists visiting the shops. The report was in the paper last we...
