Albert Heijn at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport |
In Amsterdam, we stayed at Ibis Amsterdam Centre, which located exactly next to the Amsterdam Centraal Station. After we arrived at Amsterdam Centraal Station, we went to the hotel for check in.
Hotel Ibis Amsterdam Centre has a very strategic location. You can reach this hotel only a few steps from Amsterdam Centraal Station. The room rates also not too expensive. It's around €120 / night, including breakfast (their breakfast menu is so delicious). You also can get a great view from this hotel. I took these pictures below from the hotel.

I didn't have a lot of time at Amsterdam. I started by go to "I Amsterdam" sign. Its located in front of Rijksmuseum. To go to Rijksmuseum, you can take tram 2 or 5 from Amsterdam Centraal Station Tram Westzijde. Rijksmuseum is at the 8th stop.

The next stop is a Dam Square. Dam Square is a must place to go when you're in Amsterdam. There's a lot of stores that you can visit. However, they only open until 8pm. Make sure you go there before 8pm.

Beside the shopping places, you also can go to Madame Tussauds. It also located at Dam Square. If you stay near Amsterdam Centraal Station, you don't need to take a tram to go to Dam Square. You can go to Dam Square by walking through Damrak (about 1 km).

I bought a small size with the mayonnaise for the dipping sauce. They have another sauce as well, but they said that mayonnaise is the best seller. An they're right!!! The mayonnaise was really yumm. But, the fries was just so so. Nothing special with the fries. It's really thick. Be careful, they have a very big portion. I only bought the small size, and i still couldn't finish it. Although, i shared it with all my family.
It was at 7 pm, we're all felt tired. So we went back to our hotel, took a rest for a moment. For a dinner, we took away some foods from "Wok To Walk". They're selling asian food in box such as fried rice, fried noodle. You can choose the topping and the sauce, and they will cook it with your noodle / rice.

Red Light District is located not far from our hotel. It's located behind the Damrak. Just across the street in front of "Manneken Pis" fries. And then walk through the small street. You'll find many sex shops at that place.

P.S. : I couldn't take a lot of pictures at Red Light District. Because i heard that if you took a picture there, the guards will take your camera and break it. Even though i didn't see any guard, i still didn't want to take a risk.
