Last minute mini break next weekend.
Any recommendations would be amazing, thank you.

I did a mini break via ferry and spending the day in Amsterdam last year, it was lovely.
I recommend going on one of the boat trips along the canal and seeing the city from the water, it takes about an hour and you get a guide pointing out places of interest and any history.
Lovely to sit back if the weather's nice.

If you are lucky with the weather, walking out from the centre is lovely. The Jordaan area, or down to Vondelpark. The 9 streets are lovely to wander around too. Leidseplein has some of the best restaurants ( well, just off it) and bars. Sherpa Nepalese restaurant was so yummy. The alto jazz bar, the cave rock bar.
If you want a sex club, Thursday night at Church is open to both genders.

Take a small open boat if they are already running, not one of the big ones. We did our tour near the Rijksmuseum. Far more interesting but it depends on the weather.

The hidden church Our Lord in the Attic is great.

If you plan the Holocaust museum, you need to look at tickets in advance. The same applies to the Anne Frank House.

We loved just walking around, Amsterdam is easy to navigate and you can discover really nice areas.
