Travel Guide For Amsterdam

  • Posted on April 11, 2013 at 5:13 pm

Amsterdam is a popular stop-over for Eurail pass holders. The city has a reputation that precedes itself which draws visitors from all around the world. If you plan to explore more of the Netherlands by rail you will also be passing through here as it is a big rail hub.

History of Amsterdam

During the 12th century, Amsterdam was a fishing village near the Amstel River. The name was originally Amstellerdam which literally means “dam in the river of Amstel.” Amsterdam became the center of the world’s economy during the 17th century. After the fall of oligarchy and the French occupation, the city suffered from economic and demographic stagnation from 1795 to 1813. But this soon changed and in 1870, Amsterdam drastically grew in population.

Today, the city is one of the most popular and visited European capitals. It is famous for its liberal outlook, with an economy that thrives from taxing just about any industry; marijuana, certain drugs and prostitution are not exempted. Amsterdam’s move to decriminalize these businesses not only allowed its economy to benefit from them but has also attracted tourists from around the world who want to have fun without worrying about legalities.

Things To Do In Amsterdam

Amsterdam is filled with world class sights and museums. During the day, you can visit the Dam Square which is the center and heart of the city. The square witnessed significant historical events like Napoleon’s invasion of the city in 1808. The Royal Palace that stands at the square also served as the city’s town hall with a facade and intricate decorative sculptures that celebrate the beauty of the city.

For art lovers and for the sheer curious, Amsterdam is also the location of the Van Gogh Museum and the Hash Marihuana Museum. The City’s Red Light District is an eye opening place to spend the night, with its product offerings that are usually banned in other countries. Even if you don’t partake in vice, it is quite a novelty (especially if you are from the US) to see people smoking marijuana openly and working girls in the window shop fronts.

Then there is the famous canals, which are very pedestrian friendly. You could also do as the locals do and ride a bike around the bike friendly streets.

How To Get To Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a major travel hub of Western Europe, so it a popular city to start a Eurail trip. The cheapest and quickest way is to get a budget flight to Amsterdam Schipol Airport. If you are arriving fro the UK you can take the ferry to the Hook of Holland, Rotterdam or Ijmuiden and get the train from there.

New Zealand Travel Guide

  • Posted on April 11, 2013 at 4:57 pm

With the Aussie dollar riding high a visit to our most popular overseas destination has never been better value. New Zealand’s close proximity, great skiing, spectacular scenery and generally laid back (almost comatose in some places) way of life make it a great place for a holiday or extended trip. In 2008 almost 900,000 Aussies visited New Zealand. Recent marketing pushes from the New Zealand government has kept people coming – it’s hard not to get a little emotional after a bad week at work when those adds come on…it really is a great place to unwind. So what’s the best way to get there and around?

Flights to New Zealand There are plenty of great deals to New Zealand, with decent competition for your money from different airlines. This has made flights as cheap as they have ever been, but beware, booking early is still key as cheap seats will be sold up well in advance, especially for peak times. Direct flights into Queenstown from Australia are always full over winter.

Important tips for booking flights to New Zealand:

New Zealand’s international airports are Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and Queenstown (limited direct flights from Oz in Ski season)
A good time of year to buy tickets is January. Air New Zealand will release their specials around this time and seats will be readily available for later in the year (for ski season or flights up until September).
Splitting your return fare between two airlines is a way to save money – Qantas, Virgin Blue or Air New Zealand might be the cheapest on the way over to Auckland, while Emirates are often the cheapest on the return leg (a good chance to fly a great airline). Check online for one way fares rather than returns. A bit of searching will save you money.
In general you should budget around $450-$500 Aussie return inc. tax for flights to New Zealand. Any cheaper than this and it’s a great deal.
Direct flights into Queenstown will almost certainly be closer to $600 inc tax if you get in early
Virgin Blue is the only budget carrier that flies to the three major airports from Australia
Lan Chile and Aerolineus Argentina may sometimes have cheap seats as they stop over here on the way through to South America (via Auckland)
New Zealand is the most popular international destination for online flight bookings and there’s really no need to use an agent if you are happy to book online. Save yourself the commission agents will charge by booking on the web

Round the World On Star Alliance New Zealand is an easy stop on the way to either the states or pacific Islands.

On One World Qantas or Lan Chile will get you there either on the way to the States or South America. It counts as part of the Australian region on continent based tickets.

The best time to go Autumn (March to June) or spring (August to November) are great times to visit. Fares are cheap at these times, and there is less tourist traffic around the popular spots. The colours are great, and your holiday will certainly be more relaxed. On the South Island September – October is a great time with the combination of the change of seasons and snow capped mountains making for spectacular drives.

As in Australia and around the world try to avoid local school holiday times as prices will be higher. Try to avoid January, the first week of February, April and the first few weeks of July.

Getting around

Hiring a car

The cheapest time to rent a car is over the winter months from June to October. The great range of choice of hire companies and the strong dollar means it’s an easy and cheap way to get around at any time of year. $40 a day will get you started. Check the big operators such as Hertz, Easy Rent and Budget, along with a bunch of smaller operators.

The Holy Roman Empire took control of the city turning it into a huge commercial hub. While this may have turned the city into a thriving economic place, the locals and the bishop failed to meet eye to eye, thus, conflict ensued. The Battle of Berhausbergen happened which gave the city its status as a free city. The city saw economic growth because of industrial development during the 19th century. In 1920, the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine was transferred to this city. During the early part of the 2nd world war, the locals had to be evacuated due to German invasion.
