My tip for Amsterdam is to leave the city immediately on a local train and go to Rotterdam - almost as pretty, and minus the drunken English clubbers and 'coffee-house' tourists.
While you're there take in The Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum of Art, a marvellous collection of modern and Dutch art; go on a Wednesday, when it’s free.
