Creator's Key Takeaways
Amsterdam is one of those terminals where when you wake up, you do have to draw the curtains because this one of those very very few ports you do actually get a apartment staring directly at you.
I think you could get more out of Amsterdam if you plan it yourself.
Amsterdam is absolutely a hit.
