Amsterdam is not only famous for it’s red light district, I can assure you. Amsterdam has a lot more to offer to tourists than any book or tourist information magazines can offer you. Folks from the UK or around Europe fly into Amsterdam often enough for a short break and we all know that Schipol Airport is the gateway to other parts of Europe as well as the rest if world. Plus flights to Amsterdam are relatively cheap because of the many budget airlines they have coming from the UK.
Arriving at the Schipol Airport in the wee hours of the morning can be a bit chilly, but don’t be fooled by the quiet sights you see. Further up you will find many people getting ready to take a flight or waiting for the arrival of a loved one. Cheap amsterdam flights is mostly the reason why Amsterdam is so accessible to vacationers. Underneath Schipol Airport, you can also find the rail station.
For those who are visiting Amsterdam for the first time, you have to go visit the Red Light District, just because. It’s not as bad as you think it is, definitely not BangKok, but yes there are sex shops and museums and cafes. Oh by the way, just a tip (an important one) don’t take any pictures of people standing in the windows. It can turn out to be rather crowded. Taking Amsterdam flights with budget airlines like Jet2, bmibaby and even with Flybe is by no means asking you to fly with a two propeller aircraft. So like any frequent traveler like myself, I would use them all the time.
