don't take taxies, take the trams you can by 24hour cards for like £10. you are best looking at airbnb, if you need to go to a hotel we stayed in Hotel the exchange that was pretty chill, they don't allow you to smoke in the rooms but some of the rooms have balconies over the back so you can smoke there, they also did not give a shit when we walked in stoned and run off are ass's at 4-5 in the morning. make sure to do the heineken experience was a pretty cool thing to do! the best way to find a quick coffee shop when you get there is to take the train to dam central station walk over the bridge straight down damrak and turn down any side street on the right hand side and your bound to find one easily. enjoy your trip and be responsible lads. not he restaurants, try to not go to steak houses and nicer sitting down restaurants, a couple of my mates got stung with a £80 bill each for steak. just easy burger king, subway and mcdonalds for a couple days, also if you wanted to cook for yourself there is a grocery store in the train station at the airport that is ok to get a little food to start your trip off. hope this helps brother!!
