“Just to clarify, I still love and appreciate my city and think it’s well worth the visit. As a matter of fact, I would like to see MORE tourists who actually visit Amsterdam FOR Amsterdam — its architecture, history, culture, etc. Instead of hopping from one chain store to the next, or acting crazy because one thinks one can do anything and everything in this ‘free city.’

Amsterdam can still offer a great time, but make sure to prepare properly so you can avoid the tourist traps that bloat the cityscape and have out-competed the independent shops that gave my city its unique character.”
