Absolutely essential

I purchased this guide for a one-month trip to Amsterdam. It was so useful, easy to understand, and discrete. The Knopf Guide divides Amsterdam into major sections, and each section has guides on the major attractions, restaurants, and shops for that area. There's a fold-out map for each section of the city, and it opens up from the description area to be four times the size of the book. The maps are easy to read and labeled with the suggested attractions and such. It's like a map and guide in one. It slips into a purse, and the small size of the maps makes you look like less of a tourist. There's maps of the major tram system and guides on hotels too. I appreciated the pictures of each described attraction/shop/restaurant and the vivid colors on the maps. Black and white guides, full of text, drive me crazy. You can literally read this one on the street, and find your way around. I can't say enough about how priceless this guide is. *The only downside of the guide is that a lot of the suggested shops and restaurants were on the pricey side of things (the guide also gives you price ranges of dishes), but their addresses at least direct you to the areas where restaurants and shops can be found. That's a small downside, in my opinion. Buy this guide, and enjoy your visit to Amsterdam!
