 |
 |
The Roughguide is by far my favorite travelguide book series. I prefer them over Lonely Planet, Time Out, Lets Go, etc because I consider their info more realistic and up-to-date, and they have nice maps. Whether you choose the Roughguide to Amsterdam or Holland, you can't go wrong either way. |
 |

Some of the big names that will be there this year include George Duke, Chick Corea and Bobby McFerrin, the Brecker Brothers, Isaac Hayes, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Van Morrison, Al Jarreau, Marcus Miller, George Benson, John McLaughlin and The Zawinul Syndicate, Pat Martino and Joe Lovano, and more! |

Lowlands Festival is a yearly event that takes place in August, out in the boonies, a couple hours south of A'dam. It lasts 3 days, and is on the same scale as the Glastonbury Festival. Lots of live music, cinema, raves, etc. They actually build a town for the fest, complete with 9 stages, 7 campgrounds, restaurants, shops, and lots of vending. Besides music you can go to the movies, see a play, head over to the 24 hour pub, swim in the lake, send your SMS messages to a giant screen, etc. The website is very cool - just make sure you have a flash plug-in installed in your browser. |

Suggested Sounds For Amsterdam |
I started putting together a list of cd's I have enjoyed immenseley during my time(s) spent in Amsterdam... Before I knew it, I had enough picks that I decided to put them on a separate page. If you're into good music, check it out :-)
|
 |
The Van Gogh museum... Renovated in 1999. |
|
Stedelijk Museum |
My favorite of the big museums in Amsterdam... This is where you'll find the most surrealist artwork. I've seen stuff by Dali, Chagall, and Picasso here.
|
 |
The Rembrandt House - Rembrandt actually lived in this house from 1949 - 1960. The house has recently been restored, and many of Rembrandt's most famous works were created here... Although it is a large collection, you'll have to go to Rijksmuseum to see The Nightwatch, perhaps his most famous piece.
|
 |
The Treasure-House of the Netherlands - Many masterpieces here, including some very nice Vermeers.
|
 |
The Erotic Museum is located in the Red Light District... Take a wild guess what this museum is about.
|
 |
Electric Ladyland: The first museum of fluorescent art. This looks really cool. I haven't checked it out yet, but its on the top of my list for my next trip to the promised land.
|
www.angelfire.com/scifi2/jon/ is NOT competing with other Coffeeshop Websites... The more the merrier. Here are some links to other Coffeeshop pages on the web.
|
Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory - The best online coffeeshop guide I've found so far; Many thanks to Lemmings the webmaster, whose map I hijacked to use on my page... Also, be sure to check out Amsterdam Coffeeshop Tour, whose aim is to compliment the ACD. Lots of good info for the first time visitor to A'dam, and especially helpful for the disabled traveler. |
 |
From Highlife magazine - Another website with good content. This one contains info on shop's all over the Netherlands, not just Amsterdam. |
 |
Bud's Guide - This one also contains info on Coffeeshops all over the Netherlands, and its interactive. |
 |
This is a nice website. In addition to their coffeeshop reviews, there is also a fairly comprehensive city guide. |
|
The Smoking Team |
This coffeeshop page is mainly in Italian and Slovenian(?), but is being translated into English as well. Some pretty good content on this site, and a few interactive features as well. Check it out! |
 |
Very good Coffeeshop content on this website... Also has info on their Amsterdam Travel Package. |
 |
Coffeeshop content, and also info (and some pictures) on the many strains available in Amsterdam. They also sell a Coffeeshop Guide book thats been around for a while. |
|
Stiltskin's page |
This website is maintained by an English bloke living in the Netherlands. |
 |
Although this website does have a page on their 5 favorite (mediocre) coffeeshops; the really interesting content is the commentary written about Amsterdam. This page started as a travelogue but has since blossomed into a marijuana activist's page. |
 |
Yes, there are Drunks in Amsterdam too... Here is a website (in English) that keeps you updated on the latest bar/pub/tavern/alcohol related news, plus various other rants. |
| Coffeehouse Culture | Capturing the spirit of Amsterdam for English readers everywhere. |
