I am thinking of spending a few weeks in Amsterdam next year and I was wondering if any of you lot had an idea of what would be a good daily budget. Are there apartments (a room with a kitchen and bath) that rent out weekly? Also, any advice on things to do?
Cheers,

in that case..
ok, seriously, housing is what's expensive and hard to come by, but I'd reckon if you're just here for a few weeks-month, you could find a flat for about €1000. You can rent weekly as well. Even just search the A'dam listings on craigslist as a good place to start. Otherwise, food and beers are cheap, as long as you're outside of the tourist areas... you could get by with
€20 - €40 a day minimum for the both of you. I mean I spend like 6€ a day...

what time of year are you planning to go?
april 30th is queens' day and kind of kicks of festival season. weather tends to get acceptable then as well.if you can, choose something inside of the highway ring, and preferably not north of the Ij-water (generally referred to as Amsterdam-Noord, or Noord for short).

careful not to be lured to strange hostels in slovakia with the promise of beautiful girls that want to sleep with you because you're a foreigner...

thanks for the advice brtman. We will probably try to get up there late April early May. Still in the early planning stages.
