It is cheaper, quirkier, more interesting, bigger and more lively than Amsterdam. Great shops, fantastic scenery and sculptures everywhere, and cool bars and clubs.

The weather was (usually) beautiful and we were only there for a huge, free concert...The concert was so awesome though, so the city must be cool to put on such an extravagent techno party.
