Advantages: Fun, lots to see, easy to get to, clean Disadvantages: A bit seedy and very cold in winter
went to Anne Frank's House, which I recommend as a must to anyone going to Amsterdam. The atmosphere and the exibits were very moving and seeing how small an area the 8 people who were hiding lived in will really make you think. It costs 7.50 Euros to get in but it is worth every penny and I spent a good hour and a half in there.
Be warned, if you want to avoid the Red Light District, be careful where you wander. We were walking in an area which we didn't think was marked as the RLD on the map, only to be comfronted by a host of women pressing their...assets?....up against the window.
