Looking for Lodging & Tours in Amsterdam

Hello Everyone,

I'm going to Amsterdam RAI and looking for a place to stay either near or a little far but have the tram & bus that will get off at the RAI. I'd also like to go to some tourist destination or walking tour.

I'm a student & on a small budget. I'll stay for 5 days maximum. Will I need a visa to travel to other country near Netherlands?

I appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!

Hiyee! If you have a visa that covers the 'schengen' area (I think that's a 'D' category) then you can hop to another country that's part of the EU. - it's me :-)
