Amsterdam – what a place!

( www.reddit.com )

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…

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?

( www.reddit.com )

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…
