I was in Amsterdam in September. Didn’t like it at all. The people seemed kind of short and rude with us. We had just came from Scotland where everyone was super friendly so it was quite a contrast.

Capital cities are usually like that it in Europe. They get plenty of short term tourists and do not cater to them. Secondary cities are pretty much always more fun/interesting, IMO.

We had a bartender who must have been having a bad day and was less than friendly. Store clerks, waitstaff and such weren’t overly friendly but they didn’t qualify as rude, really.

We want to go back there because we were only there for a day and a half and there were a lot of things we wanted to see that there wasn’t time for. Had to catch our cruise boat heading up the Rhine.
