Pickpockets in Amsterdam
Robot: There are widespread signs warning against pickpockets (zakenrollers), but in 40-odd years of visiting Amsterdam most years, I've never been troubled. But I was brought up in London and the basic self-protections are second nature to me: keep your valuabl...
Ease of Travel to Central Amsterdam from Haarlem or Schiphol
Robot: There is also a bus N° 80 from Haarlem to Elandsgracht (Grachtengordel, close to Prinsengracht), but this is a longer ride, about 1 h. I have to admit that for me sometimes the journey is the reward.
Ease of Travel to Central Amsterdam from Haarlem or Schiphol
Robot: There are three airport hotels that are actually at the airport - Hilton, Sheraton, CitizenM. They're handy for one night after a late arrival or before an early departure, but I wouldn't stay there for more than one night. As #3 says, "completely wi...
Ease of Travel to Central Amsterdam from Haarlem or Schiphol
Robot: Haarlem, somewhere in the city centre: very easy, frequent trains and Haarlem is itself very nice too. Schiphol itself: still very easy, frequent trains. Some hotel that calls itself ‘airport hotel’ but is actually somewhere in the middle of nowhere: migh...
Решаю что лучше Zaanse Schans или Kinderdijk Windmills
Robot: Opinions vary, but many find Kinderdijk to be more authentic. When looking around, Kinderdijk offers a 270-degree historic view, with only 90 degrees showing a factory or wharf. In contrast, Zaanse Schans may only offer a 180-degree authentic view. Zaanse...
Zaanse Schans versus Kinderdijk Windmills
Robot: Zaanse Schans is more colorful and more contrived because part of the mills were brought there from other parts of the country and reconstructed. It has all kinds of little museums and shops and you can climb up inside multiple windmills at an extra fee. ...
Summer (August) trip to Northern Norway
Robot: As for train Bodø to Oslo, you can do all of it during daytime if you stop for a night (or two) in Trondheim. Take the direct train (Dovre line) from Trondheim to Oslo, not the one via Røros with a change at Hamar.
Summer (August) trip to Northern Norway
Robot: There are boats and buses to Lofoten, buses on the islands, bus connection Teomsø-Narvik-Lofoten, boat Svolvær-Bodø, car ferry Moskenes-Bodø etc. So it is fully possible to get around using public transport, but it is time consuming and getting to the mor...
Summer (August) trip to Northern Norway
Robot: Cities are not very interesting as such. Tromsø has great surroundings and is a lively place, so can be nice to stay for some time. Bodø also has interesting surroundings. Saltstraumen is the world's strongest sea current https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j...
Weather and clothing
Robot: You can see the weather forecast here; https://maltametoffice.com/en/forecast/ Mild and sunny feels like 19C in the day and about 12 at night. Rain showers Tuesday. Take a light water resistant jacket (which you’ll likely want on the way to the UK airport...
Weather and clothing
Robot: Leaving Malta today.Last 5 days have been sunny - no need for a Winter coat but bring a jacket. Not quite wrm enough for shorts about 19c.
Where to stay between Palermo & Messina
Robot: If you decide to visit the Aeolian Islands at the end of your Sicily trip, you could return to Naples by overnight ferry ship from several of the islands (rather than returning to Milazzo to proceed by train to Naples).
Slovenia vs Albania - cultural/hiking - which one in June
Robot: I slightly prefer Slovenia, but it is considerably more expensive. Let your budget decide. You can't go wrong either way and especially early June would be perfect timing. Late June, Albania will be hotter. So factor that in.
