I got stranded in Amsterdam because my flight got canceled because of weather and from what I've seen it must be the dirtiest city I've ever been to, there was trash everywhere.
Personally I prefer Utrecht or Leiden. Although Amsterdam has more to offer in terms of larger/more renowned tourist attractions, I've always enjoyed the vibe in those cities more. Amsterdam is too busy, it smells and it's way too commercial for my taste.
But of course I'm probably biased, I grew up near Leiden and studied in Utrecht. So I spent quite some time there.

In the Netherlands this is common knowledge, there's even a nursery rhyme about it:

Brussels is even named for being built on top off a swamp (a 'broek') covered in leather tarps ('zelen') = Broek-zele = Bruxelles = Brussels.

I’ve experienced the weekend a few times and the week. Spotless during the week 😂 I think animals descend on the place
