Was just there in April, and it's a brilliant city. I'm personally into WWII/historical things, so the Occupation Museum in the old city was really nice. The Freedom Monument is also a great visit. The name escapes me, but there is a church that goes 24 stories up and gives a great panoramic view of the city. Dress warmly though

PM if you want some more ideas...

Thread already on this... might have a few more ideas. My impression of it wasnt so great- but i think it comes down a lot to personal interests and the type of trip you are looking for. Have fun!

Well my sister's BF was there a few weeks back and I think altogether their cards got skimmed for close on €5,000....so you'd wanna be careful of that anyway!
