Can anyone suggest good p[laces to go. There are three of us all blokes aged about 40? We are looking for good safe nightlife.

Travel Tips

Of course there is the red light district- there are several good bars around there. Also, the largest casino in Europe is there- next to the Hard Rock Cafe... If you want some culture, then go to The Reichs Museum or Van Gogh Museum. Other keep places are Anne Frank House (long lines all day), and the Resistance Museum (resistance of Nazis) are really cool.

Stay central with your hotel location. Get a tram pass- you can buy them with a certain number of rides (I think we did 15-30) and you must use one ride ever time you enter train even if you get off at wrong stop.

Be sure to try a "pancake" place- Pancake Bakery was the best one in the city!!! Its on Prisengract (sp) about 3 blocks away from the Anne Frank House- i think there are other ones too though Source(s): Visited in May 07

' Safe ' and ' Nightlife ' don't necessarily go together in Amsterdam. Look at it in the daytime then decide. You'll find little difference day or night.
I had the pleasure of spending 2 nights at the Banks Mansion a couple of months ago. The first room I was given was a bit on the dark side but upon requesting I was immediately shown another without any fuss. I booked a double delux room and was definitely impressed. The room was decorated to a high standard and the bed extremely comfortable. The complementary mini bar and movie channels were a nice touch and the breakfast just fine.
I am stopping off in Amsterdam for three nights in two weeks time and have booked to stay at the Banks again. My girlfriend will be joining me and I am looking forward to showing her the overall quality of this hotel,
she knows all too well how fussy I can sometimes be when wanting value for money but the Banks certainly offers that. I'm paying EUR 185/night for the double delux which I think is a fair price, contact the hotel directly for the best deals.
I've read a few reviews where people have been dissatisfied for whatever reasons, I guess that there just isn't no pleasing some folks.
Stay at this hotel and you will not be disappointed. Jon, 34.
U should look up d internet.
I was only 11 when I went so I can't tell you too much, but if you go on one of the boat tours you will probably get to see the annex where Anne Frank and her family hid. Also, it REEKS of pot and porn there, haha.

Have fun! CHEERIO MATE!
