Amsterdam/Coastal Trip – Suggestions? Hi R/Travel! In July, I’m taking my father to the F1 race at Spa, flying into AMS the week before the race. He used to live around Lille, FRA, and would like to go revisit some memories, as well as see some WWll sites to tie into his father’s involvement in the war. My thought is to stay around Amsterdam for the weekend, then use Dunkirk as a …

Amsterdam vs Venice for solo travellers? I’m thinking of taking my first solo trip in a few weeks. I would never usually book so last minute but a trip I was on this week got cut short so I’d like another chance to explore somewhere this summer, I didn’t really get to scratch that itch. I’ve kind of narrowed it down to Amsterdam and Venice. I’ve been to Amsterdam before but just for 2 …

Luggage is probably in Taipei instead of Amsterdam, is there some one I can call in Taipei to check? We have a visitor here in the Netherlands who arrived three days ago. When they arrived via KLM, their bag was not here. They put in a notice of lost baggage with KLM, but the airline still has no idea where it is. The strange thing is that on our visitor’s boarding pass, they had stapled the luggage claim ticket for someone else on the same fli…

Amsterdam – what a place! Just spent two days in Amsterdam. Holy hell, what a place. It’s kind of incredible how a city so generally quiet can be so chaotic. The pace of life there is 148bpm. Because of how small the pedestrian walkways are (if you’re not walking through a bike street like a dumbass), there’s like, no stopping/standing allowed. You’re 100% in the way, an…

6 hour stopover in Amsterdam Hi everyone, I’ve got an itinerary for mid-November which includes a 6 hour stopover at Schiphol en route to England. I was debating on leaving the airport for a couple hours and doing some quick sightseeing in Amsterdam. Google maps shows it’s not too far of a distance either by train or taxi.

Is it normal to be charged both “taxes” and also “tourist tax” at an Amsterdam hotel? I booked through Agoda and it said “taxes and fees included” and the total said “final price” and didn’t mention anything else. Normally on booking.com (same company as Agoda) it would say “you will pay additional taxes at the property” but Agoda didn’t say anything like that on the checkout page. We get to the hotel and they’re asking us to pay…

I have three free days and I’m wonderin…
