      I used to work there. I think if u catch the train to the Central station, you are only 5/10 mins walk from a plethora of hotels, cafes (Grasshopper) & red light district is 10 mins from station. Hotels there are a bit $$ so u might want to go further out. If u wanna to get stoned off your head, get a taxi and ask to go to Zombie. A top cafe that all the dutch go to and none of the drunk/stoned £5 Ryanair flight stag weekend football lovin English chavs.

        I'm staying in Utrecht, so I'll be getting a train in and out tonight, thought we'd hit the bars, etc ;0)

        I'll be going back every couple of weeks so should be fun (and expensive!!)

                Christmas in the trenches and all that ...

                I would recommend a beer w/schnapps at "Wynand Fockink" (*) near the Krasnopolski hotel, and grub at Brasserie Harkema by Dam Square. Both A1.

                  Is the Banana bar still there where the nice lady writes a post card with her front bum? We were on a stag do and as the best man I had to finish off the banana!

                  I keep meaning to go back with the wife as I'm sure there was more to see outside the seedy area.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    sore head, and yes the banana ar is still there, although we did not venture in, we went to about 6 or 7 bars, 10 pints and several cocktails and off back to Utrecht.
