HOLLAND Readers's Tips -
Are you kidding If you are serious, what on earth gave you the idea that Americans might not be welcome in Amsterdam
The answer is an unequivocal yes, you'll feel welcomed.ot with a fanfare and a bunch of flowers you'll only be one of many thousands flocking there every day from all over the planet, but you'll be welcomed like everybody else.
If you were to get into trouble, it would be not because you are an American but because you might get obnoxiously drunk and worse or otherwise misbehave I'm not saying you personally will do that, but that's what it would take to get into serious unpleasantness.
Amsterdam is a welcoming, laidback, openminded place where you'll have less trouble encountering English speakers than in just about any other place where English is not the native language.
Keep the conversation away from politics and religion something that is simply good etiquette in Europe, and you'll be fine.
Go and enjoy.
Ditto to .I go to Europe at least once or twice a year and people in the US just don't get it.My nontraveling friends can't seem to understand that just because Europeans generally disagree with our government, that doesn't mean that they don't welcome tourists.I keep telling my friends how ridiculous this is, but people who don't travel just don't understand these things.
As for avoiding talk of religion and politics with strangers, I think that's a good rule any place in the world, including within your own country.
Thank you.Just wanted to check because we read about religious animosity and wondered if it was directed at Americans.
A close friend of mine is from the Netherlands.He tells me there are some bad feelings toward immigrants who are moving there to take advantage of a liberal social welfare system.Could that be what you heard about In any case, that has nothing to do with tourists.You'll be fine, so enjoy your trip.
