Amsterdam is famous the world over for its legendary Red light District. The city’s liberal attitude towards sex and prostitution is very similar to it’s stance on drugs – it’s tolerated, but only in designated places.
The Red Light District just off the Damrak is one of those places. Filled with girls in windows, sex shops, sex shows, coffee shops, cafes and bars the area the area is a little sleazy but safe and a lot of fun with its mix of people and characters.
Open and full of people 24 hours a day, the Red Light District in Amsterdam is an eye-opening and must see experience fro anyone who travels to the city.

London is one of the BEST places to go shopping! If you came to shop, you MUST treat yourself to just a little something from the TopShop on Oxford Street.
Itter was one of the nicest town's I've ever been in, absolutely gorgeous. It's a sleepy town, but on Contiki you bring your own nightlife. This was one stop I wont forget.
My best advice is to step outside your comfort zone and make an effort to talk to EVERYONE on tour. I made friends from 6 continents on the one tour!!!
