Dutch cities are generally easy-going. Your best bet is to not act like a dumbass, and even then, most people'll accept a little dumbassery now and then. As in most major cities, watch out for pickpockets, mostly Eastern Europeans in this case. Leiden is generally recommended, maybe you can look into that. Nijmegen is a good bet, very progressive and loads to do. But it's in the east of the country (not that that matters much, you'll be there in two hours) If you're planning to smoke pot, be sensible. Most Dutch don't see anything wrong with taking some, but stoners wobbling around town holding a spliff are met with harsh looks. Stick with coffeeshops, your hotel, or perhaps public parks, if you can find a nice spot. Be sure to time your visit while keeping in mind Geert Wilders' anti-muslim movie coming out, there might be a raging mob here and there.
