Amsterdam

Does anyone have any hints or tips on saving money in Amsterdam? Taking my daughter for the first time so will be doing touristy things - are there any offers / deals? We are also going to Delft if anyone knows of anything in this town to see/do/places to eat? Thanks 😊

    Not sure on money saving aspects.
    The Anne Frank house/museum is worth visiting - but it has to be booked in advance, if you turn up without a reservation your chances of getting a ticket are near zero.
    May not be your thing of course.

    Go on one of the  boat trips  , you will, sees much more than walking  Buy t
    Your ticker getting 
     on the boat rather than a shop. 
    Or check prices
    Food and drink is quite expensive . 
    Clothes aLso are expensive, even the tat.
    Amsterdam Rocks.. we love it

    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    From the Amsterdam Tourist Information site.

    I recommend the boats from the back of the Railway Station, they get you away from the hustle and bustle for a few minutes.

    Add if you are there on a Monday this is easy walking distance from the centre.

    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.

    The flower market at Schiphol is huge -   open 0700 -1100 -   You cant buy flowers but can see the auctions. 
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    If you're into art I'd visit the Rijksmuseum. It's not mse but the building as well as the art work is superb. 

    I'd agree with the boat trips. 

    If the weather is good then buy take away at Subway and Mcdonalds is reasonable for a cuppa. 😊
