Amsterdam trip? Tripadvisor

Following the same method as my London post, I did some research on Amsterdam.

Step 1. I started with Tripadvisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attractions-g188590-Activities-Amsterdam_North_Holland_Province.html

Step 2. After I had logged in, there is an option to add attractions to “my trip”.

So I added

- Central library

- Prinsengracht

- Anne Frank's house

- Van Gogh museum

- National museum

- Bridge of 15 bridges

- Riekermelon

- Tulip museum

Step 3. Cull the list

- What is a must see?  

Step 4. So you have your list, google (search also in trip advisor) each attraction/ read reviews to see if you need to cull some more, and tips on how to save money/time. 

- The tulip festival http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g188553-c132284/The-Netherlands:The.Keukenhof.A.Visitors.Guide.html

Step 5. Piece it together allowing plenty of time at each spot. 

- Too lazy? Check out their 3 day guide. http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Guide-g188590-l302-Amsterdam_North_Holland_Province.html

Step 6. Plan for rest and wet weather.  

Step 7. Have a look at the trip advisor forums, see if anyone else has had a similar list to you. See what they did. Ask for advice on your trip. 

Step 8. Use Tripadvisor to look at a list of accommodation places that fit your list of activities. 

Step 9. Don’t forget to check out other resources: airbnb, travel guides.
