2 Concertgebouwplein, 1071LN Amsterdam

About

Famous for its orchestra and its acoustics (among the top ten in the world), this is one of the world's most frequently visited concert halls. Classical music is the main fare, but they also bring other kinds of music on stage. They have a free "lunch concert" on Wednesday from 12:30 till 13:00. In the same building is the "Kleine Zaal" ("Small Hall") for more intimate performances, often top-notch as well. It's worth a visit if only for its architecture.

    Most accepting city Ive been to

    Amsterdam lives up to its reputation. As a gay man I felt completly accepted everywhere not just in the gay bars. The Dutch are very direct which can seem rude at first but its actually refreshing. The Anne Frank museum is a must (book weeks in advance). Renting a bike is the way to go but be careful the cyclists there are aggresive lol.

    La liberté à l'état pur

    Amsterdam est probablement la ville la plus tolérante du monde. En tant qu'homme gay, je me suis senti complètement libre. Le quartier du Reguliersdwarsstraat est le coeur de la scène LGBT. Les musées (Van Gogh, Rijksmuseum) sont excellents. Le vélo est le meilleur moyen de transport. Seul point négatif : les prix sont élevés.
