AMSTERDAM WAS PRETTY AFFORDABLE, THIS IS WHAT WE SPENT
Amsterdam was amazing and very affordable for what you get to experience. The public transportation is good and the size of the city is walkable. There was a large variety of food options and it was easy to find moderate priced restaurants. Once again we chose a mixture of cooking for ourselves and eating out. If there is good public transportation, then our overall costs are down significantly. Another large factor in Amsterdam’s affordability is that everything is in one central area and not spread out with large amounts of travel time.
I can’t forget to mention the bikes. You can easily rent a bike and have very cheap transportation and get some exercise at the same time. We were lucky and our Airbnb came with the use of 2 bikes for free use. We rode the bikes from our cozy town of Den ilp for 30 minutes to reach the downtown city center. The bike paths are flat and well laid out and marked for a scenic ride to the city center. Beth
