 Excellent book, but... October 15, 2005

I am giving this book 5 stars because I think it does an excellent job covering the city of Amsterdam. The illustrations are fantastic, the tips are helpful, all of the major points of interest are covered (and then some) and it is up-to-date. I'm a big fan of the Eyewitness travel guides, and this book certainly won't come as a disappointment to those who are familiar with their books.
However, be warned that this book isn't much more than a subset of "Eyewitness Holland". If you already own their book on Holland, you don't need this because everything that's included in this book is in the Holland book. The pages may be mixed up a bit, but don't be fooled - I went through both books side-by-side and it's pretty much identical. Unless you plan on staying exclusively in Amsterdam (why?), I would suggest going with the 'Holland' book for a few bucks more. But whatever you do, don't buy both as I did!

This book offers worthwhile information to a range of different readers. The first pages, "Four great days," offer itineraries for art lovers, shopping fans, history buffs, or families with kids to please. I don't think anyone will stop there, but I imagine many readers starting with those day-trips and filling in the edges.
The rest of the book presents the city in lush photography, legible maps, and clearly organized descriptions. The part of the book (about two thirds) divides Amsterdam into seven geographical districts. For each, the reader gets a bit of history and general layout, followed by detailed descriptions of many attractions. The remainder of the book talks about out-of-town points of interest and general information about food, culture, and other helpful travel information.
I'm going to Amsterdam soon on business, and have just a little time to enjoy this amazing city. This guide has been very helpful in planning those scraps of free time. Maybe this book won't meet every traveler's needs, but it meets mine.

Eyewitness produces terrific City Guides. We used them in London and Paris last year and will 'test drive' the Amsterdam Guide next week.
They are very comprehensive and user friendly at the same time.
This is a great travel Book! May 25, 2007

I Love the Eyewitness Travel Guides. They give you beautiful pictures, & lots of information. I usually buy one for each European City I travel to.

This is my 3rd or 4th Eyewitness guide that I have purchased. They give you a lot of info in a compact book. It includes not only points of interest but also provides the "must see". Each guide also includes maps, mass transit, translation of phrases, restaurant, hotel, and general tips to make your trip more enjoyable and safer.
