Martsu from Turku, Finland

People who want to enjoy a little citybreak in Netherlands and at the same time see something else than just Amsterdam I would reccomend Maastricht. It´s a 2.5 hours away from Amsterdam and the train ticket is about 30€. Maastricht has lot to offer, many shops and restaurant. The best part of the city is, that it´s quite small so you wont get lost and while you are shopping you can enjoy the old town it self. There are many cathedrals, fortresses and old buildings all around the city so you don´t have to go elsewhere to search them.

Amsterdam is a nice city, with lots to offer. One might say that the best restaurant in Amsterdam is the Hard Rock Café. Delicious meals and good service, are the reasons, why people visit it time after time. Hard Rock Café is situated in the middle of Leidseplein square and Vondelpark, and there is a Hard Rock Café shop in the same building.

The accomodation in NY is most likely the most expensive part of your trip. In NY a good hostel normaly better than a poor hotel. Royal park hotel and hostel has the great location just of Broadway in 97th street. The nearest subway is just in the corner. I recommend booking a room with ensuite facilities. The public areas, shared toilets and the rooms with shared bathrooms are not renovated. The rooms don't seem to be very safe either. The rooms with own bathrooms are much better in standard. lot bigger and not that much more expensive.
