If you’re a tourist and do not bicycle on the regular plz dont rent a tandem its not as easy as iT seems especially if you dont ride bikes often. IT Will only create dangerous situations

[davidlugarov]

Tourist tip: watch for the damn bike lanes, its so frustrating biking in amsterdam with all the careless tourists, legally a pedestrian is in trouble if something happens on the bike lane. 2. Dont rent a bike and go around biking if a. Youre not a good cyclist and b. You have no experience cycling through crowds, busy roads, and dont know the signaling used. DEFINITELY dont bike high or drunk. And if you want some good weed go to Boerjongens - they are synonymous with quality. You wont regret it. Avoid any street conversations, pretty much all thieves and scammers. Ignore the whispering drug dealers at night. Thats all i can think of rn

"here's a tip. Get higher" I see what you did there.

Most of the places in this video will actually be packed with tourists. My number 1 tip for visitors is to get out of the city and visit one of the other beautiful towns The Netherlands has to offer. The country is quite small and there is excellent public transportation so everything is just a short and comfy train ride away. Haarlem, Alkmaar, Utrecht, Leiden and Delft are all less than an hour by train from Amsterdam central station and all have the canals and old buildings (and yes, even "coffeeshops" if thats your thing) you can see in Amsterdam but without all the tourists. Almost everybody speaks English very well and prices in these towns are usually alot lower than in Amsterdam, so if you really want an authentic experience of Dutch city life, go and see these places. You can even get your hotel there and save some money and go and see Amsterdam on day trip, instead of spending your entire trip there.

If you visit Haarlem, there is a secret spot for special beers. In Zijlstraat, 200m from Jopenkerk, there is a small bar that is loved by locals, where you can taste a lot of special flavoured beers. It’s called Uiltjebar (owl bar)
