Queen's Day will be here before you know it, and nothing puts you in the mood more than neon orange attire. The getup is entirely your decision, but the cardinal rule is: the more orange, the better. This is assuming you are out only to have fun and not to pick up guys and girls. Because no one looks hot in neon orange. But you can certainly look ridiculous! And the more absurd you look, the more fun you will have. This is especially crucial in hitching canal rides when you are sans boat.

I recommend going over to the Dappermarket at Dapperstraat in Amsterdam East. The cheapest in town, I find all my orange essentials for a maximum price of 2 euros. Tanks, tees, inflatable hats, pants, feather boas, all neon orange, all waiting for you.

Arrive to Dappermarket every day but Sunday with public transport, using tram lines 3,7,9,10,14 and buses 22,37 and 41.
