The Paris Opera, Philadelphia Concert Hall, Carnegie Hall and the Benaroya Symphony in Seattle are superb and so is the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam... most concerts have available tickets and you should book in advance to enjoy the sheer beauty of the acoustics and wonderful concerts.

The first time I visited Amsterdam, I stayed on Pieter Cornelisz Hooftstraat and I was doing it again. Much has changed from that first stay 25 years ago. In a big way. A street, that to me, once seemed a bit seedy, is now lined with high end designer shops. Bring lot's of money. This is one of the most expensive shopping streets in the Netherlands. Some of the designer names you'll find include; Prada, Hugo Boss, Hermes, Dior, Louis Vuitton and Bally, to name a few. One store that kind of stuck out, a brand I like, was Woolrich. Go figure. The hotel I was staying at on this street was a short walk from Amsterdam's Museum District as well. Walking around in the evening, the area felt safe. A Shopper's Paradise for Upscale Designer Goods and more.
