I'm thinking of going with my mate before christmas but i'm not sure how much cashmoney i'll be needing, last time £350 was good for about 5 days but that was peak times

I went there in Feb on a stag weekend thing. Went with £500 and came home with 50 euro. All the boys I went with took about £300 and ran out of cash on the second of 3 days. To my dismay there was more drinking than smoking, which probably accounts for where the money went. If I was going there just for a smoke and to chill, I doubt I'd get through half of that in 3 days. Unless I was buying some hardcore hash and sharing my smoke. For a long weekend visiting coffee shops and not drinking, I'd probably need £100 a day to spend. Half for food, half for a smoke. That's without hotel or flight. In total I think I spent about £800 in 3 days with flight, hotel and cash spent. I'm thinking the organiser didn't bother shopping around Fuck knows why we went to the dam to drink. Can do that anywhere I was disappointed to be honest. Still had a good time but didn't get to visit many places. Stayed in bed when everyone else went on a heiniken factory tour Would've rather gone to the canna museum or coffee shops or something. Next time I'm only going with tokers and I'm doing what I like instead of being tied to a crew of other people

the dam seems to me to be the kinda place you could lose ya wallet and still have a good weekend or take a grand and still have a good weekend. ive managed to always spend all my cash in the dam nomatter if ive got 150 quid or 600 it still gets hammered . 100quid a day spends would be plenty for most peeps imo

Yeah the beer price is a killer was over for queen's day in april went thursday came back sunday took 350 got smashed would go again for queen's day it's mad no car's no bike's just a mass of people in orange and the canal's are full of crazy dutch people in some mad ass boats with beltin sound systems

Last time I went was for one night so basically a day and a half and I spent £160 on food and weed, no hookers or drink.

I would go with about £80-100 a day, the foods quite expensive as is the juice and that, for a small bottle of juice like apple or something from a coffee shop your about 3-4 euro and that was over a year ago now might even be more expensive, infact when I spent the £160 thats when the exchange rate was a fair bit better, it was 1.40 ish then.

Been thinking of going again but the money factor puts me off.

yeah my mate said queens day and new years eve is a blast over there, queens day is a big gayboy party though aint it?
not that that would particularly bother me just wondering what its all about?

if u take mushrooms itseems longer.

i would go no less then 7 days

how to say this with out causing any offence but the "queens" are just band wagoning on the queens birthday and mainly stay in one part of town it's like 800,000 people in one big street party and most of the large square's/parks have entertainment on tiesto in musemsplien with a biffta of jack herer cant fault it(but we gave the two unlimited a miss because there are some limit's) check the you tube vid's on it propa mad

Queen's day is the queens birthday party and is a huge street party for all Amsterdammers (and all dutch for that matter).

Queen's Day in Dam rules - it's full on carnage for everyone, not a gay pride thing. I've been 3 times and it's wicked - there are sound stages everywhere, with tunes to suit all tastes.....techno, rock, jazz, more techno, dnb, more techno....and the centre is packed like Notting Hill Carnival gets (esp. from the station down to Dam square). There's always a DJ set outside the Greenhouse and mental stuff going off all over. The local dammers go absolutely fucking mental and it's amazing to be around. I've never seen any trouble, but I've seen more insanity than I've seen in London....people standing in between the train tracks taking a piss with oncoming train.... fireworks/bangers.....boats.....birds....and lots of orange and green

Well worth it, but not a mellow trip to Dam by any stretch

alrite m8, im not long back. Love the place, the ultimate chill zone or a place of madness . I thought it was pretty exspensive coz of the state of the pound, i changed some money and actually got less back after comission.

Your paying between 11 and 17 euros for a gram of green, didnt really touch the solids so couldnt tell you. Went to 1 place and aid 14 euros for 2 beers.

i found barneys was the most chilled, eat food, smoke weed and drink beer all in the same place. Just nip over the road and grab a bag of tweed from barneys coffee shop or greenhouse down the road. Eutopia haze from barneys was nice and the trainwreck from greenhouse was quality...

Usually between 100 and 150 a day should be cool, depends on how much you eat, drink and smoke
Get Yourself to the Grey Area for some Chocolope wow it gave me the munches

hope you have a good time m8, would love to be there now...

Think I was 275 euros to stay at the continental hotel on damrak when I went with the ex, can't remember how much the flights were a couple hundred or something for both. Then about 600 for both us, but that was pleanty for a casual weekend of smoking. I smoked, ex drank. No hookers, well only the one I took with me.

Was out there the other week for 5 days and spent around 600e (not including flights or accomadation ) .Price wise,now the pounds gone tits up its expensive,£2.00 for a small coffee ,£3.50 for a small beer wasn't uncommon. Weed from 6e a gram in Haarlem for white russian through to 17e in barneys for a 100 % sat, payed between 7e to 25e (very nice iceolator) for a gram of hash.I stayed in an apartment (100e a night) so no need to eat out ,and spent most evenings in with a beer or 2 and the apartments bong.

Every time i go dam i always spend shit loads some how, maybe its cause im like a kid in a candy shop . I usally go for 3 nights and take about 6 700 quid

How much do you guys pay for flights?

i cant seem to find any cheap ones on bmibaby, its all expensiiiive, my aunt was telling me that theres a cheap ferry to 'dam from hull, anyone heard about this?

i live in manchester but its a lot cheaper from liverpool airport by about £50 .thats wit easy jet hope thats sume help

Well in scotland you've only got easyjet from edinburgh which go's from about £65-150 and from glagow you only have KLM which starts at £120 odds, from London you can get them for about £80-90 with KLM and theres plenty of budget airlines to.

if i'm gonna fly it'll be from East Midlands because all the other airports are too far away from me

Wow, Queens Day looks amazing.

I always fly with jet2 from leeds bradford usually get a flight around 50 - 60 quid cant beat it really

Its well worth a go but book really earliy as places to stay fill up really quickly we booked 9mth before hand and booked the flights 6mth before then we watched as the pound plumetted I was not bothered by it as I changed me money at the time of bookin which was when the pound was givin 1.35Euro me mate that said he would wait ended up gettin parity on his cash exchange.

Me mates B-in-Law as moved over there we going to see if he'll let us crash at his for next years.

You get what you pay for, flown to 'Dam with them every time (5) I've gone and not had problems worse than a long wait to check in. Using a cheap airline doesn't really matter for a trip to 'Dam, you can take enough clothes in hand luggage so don't have to pay extra, everything else is cheap and kinda cheerful, crapper than more expensive airlines but it does the job.
