oh please don’t say the red light district... been there done that! :)

The Riijksmuseum and the Van Gogh museum are both very good visits

Thanks Andy, I have them down with Stedelijk! I’m going to Riijksmuseum tonight!

I was looking for something not on the map :)

The Stedelijk was the other I couldn’t remember the name of it.

Have a great time!

the Frozen Fountain is a nice design shop.

droog has a gallery space and is probably worth a visit.

de Appel is a gallery where i’ve seen good contemporary art.

Thanks begsini, thats a good starting point!

You should go here:

Staalstraat 13a

sorry double post

The Imperial Museum (Rijksmuseum) is closed for major refurbishment. Some highlights of the collection are exposed in the west wing.

The Municipal Museum (Stedelijk Museum) looks like any building in Groznij or Gruzija after shelling. It’s shut down and it’s whispered there’s overhaul going on. The collection (or part of it?) is in some frontier outpost in the harbour area.

If you like good coffee for consolation, give me a ring @ +31-6-2450-3943. I live a few minutes away from the Van Gogh Museum.

I wish for your sake I could remember the name of the Indonesian restaurant where we gobbled up the Gado-gado. But I don’t. Is there a yellow pages? Looking at the map, I think it was Blue Pepper. But first we stopped at the Easy Times Cafe! The Rijks was awesome...if it’s closed, a train ride to The Hague gets you to the Mauritshuis and the Municipal Museum, both well worth the visit, if art is your fancy. Man...happy you!

Totally forgot! This weekend it is UITMARKT.

The whole Eastern Docklands area is teeming with teasers of theatre productions, artworks, comedy, music, etc. etc.

Forget about museums and go uitmarkt: all hell breaks loose:

The Indonesian restaurant could be Kantjil (spuistraat). But Amsterdam has lots of them. I live right above one.

I try not to be envious.

Thanks for the advice guys!

OH ! They have burger vending machines there, too ... That is ex-trim modern.

Hey Eimear, good to see life goes on without me back in dublin! ha!

I ask for advice on interesting design hubs and I get indonesian and vending machine food!

Thanks guys! haha!

I could have said the Riijksmuseum and the Van Gogh museum, that would sound like cliché. And considering that you would spend a great deal of the evenings in a pub, then the burgers info will be very handy ...

If you can get to Breda:
