The last time I was in Amsterdam was in 2012. I was there for 10 days and had a wonderful time. On my way back to the Czech Republic I had an 8 hour layover in Amsterdam. I was really looking forward to just wandering around the city. When I arrived, I put my carry on luggage in storage for just 6 euros. Then I got a return ticket from the airport to Amsterdam Central station for 9.60 euros. It was a bit of a gloomy day and it felt quite cold because I was used to the warm weather in California. I walked around and got to the main square. Then I saw people holding umbrellas for tours. The last time I was in Amsterdam I didn't go on a walking tour and I was a bit too tired to just wander around by myself because I didn't sleep on the flight from Los Angeles. I joined the free walking tour and it was nice. There were a lot of people and I wasn't sure if I had the energy to take people's photos but after walking around I woke up a bit and was able to take a few photos. The tour actually lasted a bit more than 3 hours and I needed to leave before it was over to catch my flight. It was the perfect way to spend my long layover. I definitely would like to visit again for longer than a couple hours!
