A romantic evening cruise is a memorable experience. Let yourself relax in glass-enclosed comfort while savoring fine wine and cheese.

Amsterdam - Shopping
Amsterdam is no fashion capital like Paris or Duesseldorf. It is more of a place to hunt for bargains and feel comfortable in what ever you wear. Prices are relatively low, compared with other European capitals and has a wide selection to offer. Most shops close at 18:00 and on Thursday nights most shops are open until 21:00.
Shops in the center are open on Sunday, usually between 12:00 and 17:00. The shopping streets get extremely crowded on Sundays as alot of people from around Amsterdam pour in to do their shopping. So your have been warned.
