City to visit in Europe for a weekend?

[Arnfinn Madsen]

I like Amsterdam, but the whole liberal thinking/living-aspect is overhyped, most other big Northwestern European cities are similar, they have more liberal rules so that drug use/prostitution etc. is more visible than elsewhere but their way of living really isn't. It is a very nice city and great city to party, but does not stand out enough to deserve the hype IMO.
