Get Lost! The Cool Guide to Amsterdam
Get Lost! is written by Aaron Cole, a journalist and performer who has lived in Amsterdam for years and knows the city's underground culture from the inside. Unlike a standard travel guide, Get Lost! does not focus on the well-known tourist route but on the cheap, opinionated and less obvious side of the city: from affordable organic dining to alternative galleries and underground parties.
Contents
The guide covers a wide range of topics you will not usually find in a mainstream tourist guide, including:
- Accommodation and practical travel information
- Affordable organic dining
- Vegetarian restaurants
- Underground parties
- Alternative museums and galleries
- Music and magic mushrooms
- Bars and cinemas
- Fair trade cannabis
- Piercing, politics and pirate radio
- Websites and other addresses
The tone is opinionated but never disrespectful: the author shares personal favourites without passing judgment on how you choose to experience Amsterdam. Where most travel guides stick to museums, hotels and restaurants, this one also covers the topics that give the city its unconventional reputation, such as the squat scene and pirate radio.
Edition and printing
This is the 11th, fully revised edition of Get Lost!, published by Get Lost Publishing. The book is printed with vegetable-based ink on 100% recycled paper. Since the content is available only in English, this guide is best suited to readers who are comfortable with the language. Its compact size makes it easy to carry in a coat pocket or backpack while exploring the city.
