A must have book for a visit to Amsterdam,
This review is from: Amsterdam (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) (Paperback)
The Dk Eyewitness book Top 10 Guide to Amsterdam is just brilliant. It is full of usfull information, beautiful pictures and clearly set out details and maps. All one needs to enjoy a visit Amsterdam. Having brought Dk's Top 10 Travel books before I knew how fantastic they are. I would highly recommend anyone to buy this if they want a handy sized but packed guide. Value for money, buy.

Not Quite the Only Book You Need,
By JamesNYC "JamesNYC" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amsterdam (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I have used the "Top 10" travel guides on several trips to Europe. They are small and thin enough to fit in a purse, have great maps and are usually all you need. The "Top 10 Amsterdam" guide is somewhat deficient, however.
There is very little information on the famous Red Light District: There is just one short paragraph on the Red Light District on page 77 and a brief mention under "A Day in the Oude Zijde" on page 79. As far as the famous "Smoking Coffeeshops" (where marijuana is served) are concerned, there is just one sentence on them on page 51. Aside from that, the guide is very good. There are lists of Amsterdam's top ten sights, top ten museums, top ten Churches, top ten bars, top ten clubs, etc. The maps of Amsterdam are very useful, as are the diagrams of the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, showing where the most famous works of art are located. There are also top ten lists for different geographic areas of the city. There are several lists of hotels, including "Top 10 Budget Hotels," and top ten lists of things like "Shopping Tips," "Arriving in Amsterdam," and "Getting Around." I would recommend this book for those who have no interest in Amsterdam's sleazy side. For the rest, I would recommend the Frommer's guide instead (although, unlike the Top 10 guide, Frommer's does not have many photographs). I would add that the list of "Top 10 Restaurants" does not include the historic and opulent Cafe Americain, where Mata Hari had her wedding reception. I would list the Cafe Americain as the number one dining experience in Amsterdam.

Excellent Guide Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Amsterdam (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) (Paperback)
This was my first time using an EyeWitness guidebook and it definitely won't be the last. This guide is organized very well with maps everywhere. They cover the various areas of the city with detail on everything from sight seeing options to food, night life, etc. I just got back from Amsterdam and this guide was in my hand constantly.
I highly recommend this if you are unfamiliar with the city.
