Great! And finally an evening flight to AMS from Dublin on a Friday after the working week is over (Aer Lingus' latest flight has always been at about 17h)
Flights are indeed €20 each way on Fridays & Sundays but that's still a bargain!
Weekend in AMS sorted for end of November

Make sure ya book before tomorrow

Just booked SUN-MON flight at the beginning of November.

Great to see competition on this route. I just booked Fri - Sun with front row reserved seats for two people at €140. Great value compared to Aer Lingus pricing. Delighted, I love visiting Amsterdam.

you have to select Dublin as your origin first then you can pick Amsterdam

grimm2005

Just picked up flights for a Thursday to Monday in November. Don't even know if I'll be able to go yet but at €20 return I'll happily take the risk!

Is Amsterdam a good place to bring two young children?

Heineken Experience is a must as is Anne Frank House.
After that, can't think of anything else to do in Amsterdam ;);).

Obviously posted while Stallingrad's post was being posted!

Thanks just booked for €20 each what a bargain. ✈️😀

retalivity

Thurs-sun in late Nov booked for 30 return, xant beat that.

I did see that on some flights 'there are only x seats left at this price' must be flying thru the cheap seat sale...

ThunbergsAreGo

Had a quick look, not a cheap city for accommodation.

Especially when they charge you by the hour.

Have a look at renting out an apartment/house on Airbnb.

This is too good to be missed. Booked same day return on a Saturday for 20EUR. Flight is only 1:30 so gives plenty of time to explore the city!

friend and foe

Flights booked this afternoon, flying out 31/10 and back on 04/11 for the princely sum of €19.98. Belter of a bargain 😄

any recommendations of where to stay? just me and the missus heading. would city centre be the best job?

Freddiestar

Be careful over there, there's a good chance you'll bump into one of your work mates, neighbours, cousins, mother and father when you walk outta one of them booths with rosy red cheeks, Oct/Nov is gonna be heaving with Irish

You should consider bidding on a 4 or 5* hotel using Priceline's 'Name Your Own Price' function - preferably within the City Centre & Central Canals zones. I've used it myself in Amsterdam on a few occasions and have secured rooms in very decent properties at a great discount.

http://www.amsterdamblog.co.uk/where-to-stay/hotels/grab-5-star-hotel-amsterdam-60-less/

For proximity to the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh or Stedelijk Museums, the Park Plaza Vondelpark is a good mid-range hotel, where you'll often bag a double for €90 or less in late Autumn. Centraal station, Dam Square, the Jordaan & Pijp neighbourhoods & the red light district are only a few minutes hop away by tram.

For those on a budget, I'd recommend the Van Onna on the Bloemgracht canal in the beautiful Jordaan - it's about three minutes walk from the Anne Frank house & the Westerkerk.

If even, flew over recently, up and down in an hour and 10 mins or so. Unbelievably short flight.

The Bols experience was very good (if you like cocktails). Anne Frank House, unless booked in advance is pointless, three hour queue!!

Flew back from there last night, very very lucky to fly with the fog

ActingDanClark

If you're planning visiting Anne frank house I recommend booking online, queues were 4 hours ish

. As others have said Anne Frank house but pre book as soon as you can because it gets booked out quickly. Zoo was great. I loved Heineken experience too. Another highlight for me was a visit to the windmills it's about 35 mins on bus but so worth it. They are beautiful.

Sarn

Enjoyed Anne Frank museum. Got there just before 10 and it took 1 and 3/4 hours to get in. Wouldn't want to do it if it was any colder. I can only imagine what it must be like in the summer. The online tickets seemed to be booked out a long time ago.

Went to the Rijksmuseum for the obligatory paintings. Otherwise just wandered around looking at stuff, eating and drinking.

ActingDanClark

Beware the large Chinese restaurant in the harbour, had been in it before and didn't remember it being so pricey:- prawns with cashew nuts was over e40- two people could fly to Amsterdam and back for that :-)

ActingDanClark

Another thing worth noting is that the red light district still exists- the ladies are notable by their absence. Apparently the area is subject to a major clean up, property too valuable apparently

TheDriver

Bols is a cool experience. Also recommend highly the Amsterdam dungeon, its a really well done creepy experience.

It was a lovely day out. The sun was shining and it stayed dry. The volume of cyclists is amazing. I got the Amsterdam Travel Ticket for 15 euro which covered airport-city and all the trams and all the GVB buses. Had a lovely walk in the big public park (got a tram from Central Station) and loads of places for snacks and eats in the city centre. City is quite compact. It was very easy to navigate - all signage in English, announcements ditto. No delays with flights, all very smooth. Happy!:)

The Anne Frank House had a short queue later in the evening. We queued for 15 minutes.

Although I was reluctant to tie myself down to a time, I booked the Van Gogh museum online. Was glad I did as even the midweek queues were crazy. It was a real highlight for me and included an Edvard Munch exhibition so I also got to see 'The Scream'.

If you're into photo journalism there is currently a very good exhibition of Magnum Contact Sheets in 'FOAM'

There is a fantastic view of the city outside the roof café of the Nemo Science Centre, which was nice after all the narrow streets. You can walk up to it or take the lift in the lobby, there is no need to pay in.

The weather was great so we walked most places which was nice but cyclists seem to take priority over pedestrians. I don't know how the locals tolerate the invasion of tourists but I found them very helpful.

Wasn't expecting it to be so expensive. A pint was 9.00 in some pubs.

Great city though, would definitely go back.
