Summary: Walking is the way to see this city
Review: I didn't bring this book along on my Netherlands trip. A friend did, and popped it out while we were in Den Haag. The Den Haag walk was great, crisscrossing the center of the city to show off the history and architecture. The walk snapped the city into focus for me, where it had before been just a blurred maze viewed from a tram.My friend left this book with me when I went on to Amsterdam and he to Germany, and I am so happy he did. I used it every day to give shape to my meanderings across Amsterdam. It's a compact city. You can walk anywhere if you're willing to spend the time, and I recommend you do. Slow down and spend the day ambling along the Herengracht with this book.

Summary: Terrible book ( there are better resources)
Review: My wife and I used this book two weeks ago when we were in Amsterdam. The book is terrible. Often times, the writer suggests that you walk down roads which have no interest or value (such as down a busy road in the Western Isles walk). The directions given in the walk are confused and confusing (you are told to go down a street but not whether down means left or right). A better walks resource is the walks designed by the VVV (the Dutch train system) which are detailed, clear, and very interesting. The VVV is near is Central Station.
