I have a day and a half in Amsterdam this December (arrive 13th, leave 15th) which I've managed to tack on to the end of a subsidized work/school trip. Given the time constraints, that I'll be alone, and that the rest of the trip is free, I'm considering biting the bullet and staying at the central Best Western, buying an "I am Amsterdam" card, and in all other ways ponying up the cash for increased convenience. Is this a huge mistake? And/or what package deals, eateries, or other tips are likely to make my whirlwind trip more satisfying? [more inside]
