[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Came back last week. 3 days in Berlin, 2 in Amsterdam.

Enjoyed Berlin much more...perfect blend of history, diverse and great cuisine, excellent public transit, pretty English-speaking for Germany, more affordable than Amsterdam by quite a bit

Can't get over the hate Berlin gets and its overshadowing by Amsterdam, even Munich. Given its the largest city in EU, I certainly consider it underrated as a tourist destination.

Found Amsterdam overrun with rowdy Brits, stag parties, overcrowded streets, lack of public transit, EXTREMELY expensive(more than London, Paris, Copenhagen esp for accomodation)

Don't get the Amsterdam appeal...Berlin was a place you actually saw locals living in, while the former was just a tourist trap with no locals around and consumerism. Is the weed and tulips that much of a draw? Besides, Berlin has way more history and museums [/quote]

I think that it's fine that you liked Berlin, but no, Berlin doesn't have "more history and museums" than Amsterdam and of course, if you didn't see locals, it was totally dependent on where you were in Amsterdam.  We spent nine days there last year (and one in Berlin) and that was plenty of time to really see it.  No need to denigrate one to enjoy the other.[/quote]
