If i only have time to go to van gogh OR rijksmuseum, which one should I go for?
Thanks again guys! :D
- Van Gogh Museum has some nice side exhibitions sometimes that is a plus if you also want to see 3 hours Van Gogh. The Masters if you prefer then be it.oey
- Went to Van Gogh twice. Second time only cause friends were visiting and asked me to join. One time was enough. Crazy but not my thing.oey
- Never went to Rijks, so actually I can really not tell you. would have liked to have gone. Must be impressive. But all that money at the same time is crazy.oey

Hotel: I just stayed at Sir Arthur for a few nights and I liked it. It's not that big and a bit fancy, but if you like design-hotels, you will like it. Make sure you are on a higher floor or on groundfloor far away from the bar, since the restaurant/bar on groundfloor are quite busy/clubby at night.
- I don't know if it is cheap or pricey, it was a business-trip some company paid.Longcopylover
- Sorry, it's called Sir Albert. Not Arthur...Longcopylover
- ooo looks ace!! Thanks dude! :DHombre_Lobo

- Think there are two Dampkring's, one on the Haarlemmerstraat is decent, nice menu. Is Barneys the one with all the vaporizers?mrAtor
- Barney's good as well. Well in the Haarlemmerstraat you have Barneys, Dampkring and Green Houseoey
- The other Dampkring is where they shot Oceans Eleven. it's one street behind the Vlamse Fritesoey

Stedelijk? nee! haha - I'm not a huge fan of that one, but love the Eye.
For territory to stay in, I always recommend Jordaan or De Pijp. Lots of stuff happening in those areas.
Like shopping? Check out the 9 streets
Coffee? Screaming Beans (in the 9 streets), Scandanavian Embassy
Amazing cookies? Van Stapele
Dutch beer bar: Arendsnest
Interesting food choices? De Pijp (just wonder)(btw, anyone who lives in AMS will now know where I live from those locations)
If I were there I'd love to take you around, but out of town for work at the moment :/
