to answer your questions in order:

book a hotel in advance, just walk around and look in windows to find cool cafe's, if coffeeshops won't let you smell the weed before you buy go to another one, nothing is a must except attending sonicwarfare pt.5 at the melkweg on the 23rd.

always carry id with you (its a law inholland for everyone over 16yrs), but to get into clubs having girls with you is more important than your shoe type

utrecht is 30-40 min by train from amsterdam

de helling in utrecht? either by foot or by taxi

april 1 2007, basically dutch gov't told coffeeshop/bars they could no longer sell weed and beer. So the shops had to choose between the two, most went the weed route, but the owner of the building housing the Nes didn't want the weed thing going on anymore, so the place had to let go the coffeeshop status

the second floor of schiphol airport across from the internet centre has these really cool looking bench sleeper chairs that almost go flat. not many people know that they are up there so you should be able to crash for a few hours without getting bothered. watch your bags though.

Not to take it personal, but i live in the middle centre of Dam, next to the red light district (my neighbour is a big fat black woman :x )
All i see is english chavs, fcked up on weed, messin around...and they re fckin annoying! I know ur not going to see buildings and all that (i dont reckon :wink: ) but almost everybody is focusing on the drugs, its only legal now so whats the big deal.

Go to Leidscheplein and there is a lot to do for example a comedy theatre, boom chicago, a cocktail bar N-Joy (my roommate works there and its well nice), Paradiso is around the corner and so on...No effence but i just hate those damn tourist high on whatever and think they are on a big fckin playground, thats my point!

And for the record: I dont like reading books... :D

I appreciate the civilised reply, but im sure those with mentalitys of a penut, are likely just about find them self's enough money to go Amsterdam, and when they do - they get overly excited and act chavy and drunk and larger loutish.

However just because i enjoy weed and pussy, means i enjoy weed and pussy, js lyk people in the parliament do! stereo typing is bad for your health lol

Man you live in the middle of Amsterdam, I can understand the way you feel about the tourists... But can you understand the excitement to go to a coffee shop and buy weed and blaze a big fat one LEGALLY!

I'd love so much to visit, for the weed, the people, the buildings whatever... but the legal weed is a massive thing for stoners round the world.

Ah, bummer.
I had a really great time in that place.
The people who worked there were super chill as well.

I loved Amsterdam.
My favorite part was my bike ride in the windmill park, so freakin pretty. I cant believe people live in windmills. I never knew.
