Amsterdam

First and foremost, go to Amsterdam. The night life and activity of that town is HUGE. If you're around the centre, on day, take a ride on the channels with the boat. It's a really enjoyable trip. After that, visit the Rijksmuseum, the Rembrandt museum and Anne Frank museum if you like history and art.

But the night it's all about Amsterdam. It doesn't matter if you wanna go for a "ride" or you don't, visit the Red Light District. Really crowded, but if you're in a group with more friends, you can have fun. Just in case you need an extra, visit the Sex Museum.

For eating, I tried different restaurants, but I liked the Argentine restaurants. They're always full, and relatively cheap. If you want to go for a shopping spree, the center is full, and you can do some serious exercise too.

Bern

Bern is the total opposite of Amsterdam. I stayed a day in it, and I found it a very relaxing and pleasant city. It's really calm, in comparison with Amsterdam. At 12 midnight the streets were empty. In Amdam they were full like a rush hour.

For sights, visit the Zytglogge, a clock tower with puppets, which is really nice. Make sure to visit the Munster, a 15th century cathedral and the town hall. Since it's a very medieval town, it's good for shopping too. So get some extra cash, especially because it's Switzerland, and it's damned expensive.

Bern is a perfect place for walking, for taking a stroll. So get your legs ready.



Hope it helped you.
