The Amsterdam, Brighton

Advantages: Seaside, Shopping, Nightlife
Disadvantages: Expensive

...and pubs such as The White Horse, The Amsterdam, DR Brighton, and Legends. Most have regular cabaret acts on, but the best I have seen was at Legends. The nightclub Revenge was one of the best I have been to out of London, it was a great mix of people and music. Secrets is a more quite drinking club with a mini dance floor down stairs if you wanted to strut you stuff. I stayed in the Travelodge which is about a 15-20 minutes walk from the sea front. It is a new Travelodge and it was excellent and I have stayed there many times and the staff are helpful. There is a bus stop opposite the hotel and most services takes you down into the town center.

Disadvantages: Small city and not many maps so you get easily lost

...Many people like to invest in a short city break to go and relax from their daily working lives. Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands is a good example of a city break. This is what I'm going to write my review about. I recently visited Amsterdam in February 2005 on a mini cruise and compiled information to write this review. Take a map and remember where you visited as the streets look the same and you can find yourself walking in circles. One of the main reasons why UK tourists visit Netherlands is because it is extremely close to home.
