Like mrquackers...me and a buddy did Amsterdam for a week on about $1500. Through Travelocity, we got round trip tickets for $287....Our hotel..Roemer Vischer... just a block away from Leidseplein....which is one of the many "central" spots in the city...we stayed in for six nights, at or around $350. If you don't mind staying in a bunk house or hostel, you could do it for a considerable amount less. It has it's benefits, like meeting people from all over, and of course the price. It also has it's drawbacks...no privacy, and generally NOT co-ed. Our room had a balcony off of it, it was really close to resteraunts, coffeehouses, clubs, museums...
So that was the bulk of our expense...the rest was spending money. Your going to want to splurge when your there...so much good food, good smoke...if that's what your into, souveniers...what ever. It really sucks to have to borrow money from one of your friends on vacation, so go prepared. If you want any information on the hotel we stayed in, let me know....I'll get you some info on it.
Plan ahead...keep an eye out for a sweet airfare..and save those pennies!
