PHOTOGRAPHY Light: although Amsterdam can be hazy, North Sea breezes usually sweep this haze away. After a summer shower the air has a sparkling, luminous quality.
Where you can photograph: some museums and other attractions do not allow you to take photographs; some forbid you to use flash; for some you need permission before you can use a tripod-mounted camera.
Where to buy film: film and camera batteries are readily available from photographic and tourist shops. Slides are called dias.
WHEN DEPARTING Contact the airport or airline on the day prior to leaving to ensure your flight details are unchanged.
You are advised to arrive at the airport two hours before your flight is due to take off.
Before departure, check the duty-free limits of the country you are entering.
